From TOB's third album, Beneath the Rhythm and Sound. Tab by Dan Marx. January 16th 2000. E-mail aktiondan*yahoo.com This song was quite complicated. I couldn't decide which chords they used during some parts. My rendidtion here will play along fine, but I think a few notes are a "outa' wack". Write me with suggestions. And if you haven't learned how to play a BAR CHORD, learn a different song first. ;-) Chords defined: E A D G B E Variations E A D G B E - - - - - - - - - - - - A 5 7 7 6 5 5 A x 0 2 2 2 0 C#m7 x 4 6 4 5 4 D x 5 7 7 7 5 D x x 0 2 3 2 Bm 7 9 9 7 7 7 Bm x 2 4 4 3 2 E x 7 9 9 9 7 E 0 2 2 1 0 0 A#7 6 8 6 7 6 6 A#7 x 1 3 1 3 1 Intro: A#7 --- A C#m7 D D (repeat) Bm E A A Bm E A A#7 A C#m7 D D A C#m7 D D Swing was the thing long ago Elvis was King long ago Bm E A A But I'm constantly avoiding extremes and dodging those absolutes Bm E A A#7 Singing the songs in my head makes sense at all A C#m7 D D A C#m7 D D Fab were the four long ago Jim closed the door...ago Bm E A A But I'm constantly avoiding extremes and dodging those absolutes Bm E A A#7 Whispering words in my head makes no sense at all A C#m7 D D (repeat) Bm Bm Bm A#7 back to main riff Bm E A A But I'm constantly avoiding extremes and dodging those absolutes Bm E A A#7 Singing the songs in my head makes sense at all A C#m7 A C#m7 repeat to end
