Song For The Dumped - Ben Folds Five (revised)
(Folds) From the album "Whatever And Ever Amen", track four.
Tabbed by Neil Hillen, 9607025h@udcf.gla.ac.uk
When I tabbbed it out I finished it, forgot to save it repeatedly and
then for a big finale, made the computer crash. I also noticed the
second time that there are parallels between the second verse bit and
Jimi Hendrix' (or should I say Noel Redding's) Little Miss Strange
intro, but no one else will, so I'll shut up.
Intro; try a G root with your thumb

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 BEN FOLDS FIVE 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.
