SONG TITLE: I'm Nuthin' ARTIST/GROUP: Ethan Hawke ALBUM: Reality Bites

CHORDS:------- EADGBE EADGBE EADGBEA (x0222x) Eb* (xx1202) Dsus2 (xx0230)A* (x0423x) Esus4 (022200) Em (022000)E (022100) F#m (244222) G (320033)D (xx0232) Bm (x24432) G* (320030)Asus2 (x02200) Bsus2 (x24422)

When you're playing the A chord, most of the timeyou should play it like this:

A A* A A* AE|--------------------------------------------|B|--2-2---2---3--3--3-2-3-2--2---2---3--3-2---|G|--2-2---2---2--2--2-2-2-2--2---2---2--2-2---|D|--2-2---2---4--4--4-2-4-2--2---2---4--4-2---|A|--0-0---0---0--0--0-0-0-0--0---0---0--0-0---|E|--------------------------------------------|

It's played like that in all the verses and the intro.The only comfortable way to play this is to use yourindex finger to play the A chord, then when you play theA* you can just hammer on the D and B strings with yourmiddle and ring finger. Like Keith Richards does.

When you see something like 'D (sus2)' it just meansplay the D chord but throw in the Dsus2 a bit. A lotof times he plays A and then throws in a Asus2 forinstance.

OK, then you should be ready to play the song.
