The Fools We Are As Men - Ryan Adams
--------------------------------------
(from side 4, GOLD limited edition)
tabbed by Björn Ericson (apan.ola@purpleturtle.com)
Well, I was browsing the OLGA, minding my own business, when I noticed,
to my great despair, that there was no Ryan directory to be found.
How can this be? I thought. Someone ought to be punished for this...
or something. Anyway...so...this is my first tab-posting on the
net...(TADA!)...sort of a groundbreaking event...
I obviously love this song (otherwise I wouldn't have bothered transcribing
it), and though I am sure that it's not 100% accurate, it's how I play it
and it sounds good to me.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ADAMS RYAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
