What are you doing, feeling a waste of time

(I don't know the bridge here; they kinda go nuts.  G   Am   C  Am  D   
repeated sounds ok, but not right; some sorta mix of these)

G              C                        D*
Don't have too much but where there's a will                                              
G                          C                            D*

Don't let my bloodrush
G	     Am
Don't let my bloodrush
G	     Am        C    	    G  (do the G scale walkdown tabbed above)
Don't let my bloodrush.....in vain

G      Am               C    D@
I just want to show you the way
G       Am               C    D
Want to stop you feeling this way
G      Am              C    D
I just got to show you the way
G       Am       C         D        C
Want to stop you feeling a waste of time
G.....????????
Don't let my bloodrush
????????????	
(I wish to god I could figure out the last chords, but I can't.
  I know it starts on G.)
Don't let my bloodrush

NOTES:

Again, D* is just a quick D D D D C C C D D D D C C C

and D@ is a D played with the first string on 3rd fret, then second.
Listen to the song and play with it....it'll seem clearer.

In the chorus, the C is played very quickly, on two up-strokes.
It's more of a prelude to the D part....

Very important to listen to the song to get the rhythm down.  Lots (and 
lots) of strumming is going on.
Great song once you learn it........questions, email 
me...................David (gels@plains.NoDak.edu)
