D G G G G Your life is now... Verse 2 G C D D Would you teach your children to tell the truth? G C D D Would you take the high road if you could choose? G C D D Do you believe your the victim of a great compromise? D B/A C D Cause I believe you change your mind and change our lives. Chorus: Solo Riff x1 G C D D Would you teach your children to tell the truth? D Em C D This is your time here to do what you will do Chorus: G Your life is now G Your life is now G Your life is now G Your life is now... Only one different chord, B/A (XX1202) I play this with the basic open chords.It can also be done with power chords. This is a simplified version. If nothing else, the opening riff is cool, and is good practice with hybrid picking. And the song has a nice positive message... ~ghost~]]> Easy Songs Ghost Rider https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/john-mellencamp-your-life-is-now/#post-3716
