This old man I've talked about[G]
Broke his own heart, poured it in the ground[C9] [G,C9,G]
Big red tree grew up and out[G]
Throwing up its leaves, spins 'round and 'round[C9] [G,C9,G,G,C9]
I know all this and more[A]
So take your hat off when you're talking to me[G]
And be there when I feed the tree[C9]
This little squirrel that I used to be[G]
Slammed her bike down the stairs[C9][G,C9,G]
They put silver where her teeth had been[G]
Baby, silvertooth, she grins and grins[C9] [G,C9,G,G,C9]
I know all this and more[A]
So take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[G]
And be there when I feed the tree[C9]
Take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[G]
Be there when I feed the tree[C9]
This old man I used to be[G]
Spins around, around, around, the tree[C9] [G,C9,G]
Silver, baby, come to me[G]
I'll only hurt you in my dreams[C9] [G,C9,G,G,C9]
I know all this and... I know all this and...[A,A]
I know all this and more[A]
So take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[G]
And be there when I feed the tree[C9]
Take your hat off, boy, when you're talking to me[G]
And be there when I feed the tree[C9]
[same as intro, end with four quick G's]
If you are in the Boston area and would like to get together
to play (male or female) write 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 BELLY 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.
