tabbed by nangostino
=================================
intro - G D Am x 3
verse 1
G D Am
I could have treated you better
G D Am
But you couldn't have treated me worse
G D Am
But it's he who laughs last
G D Am
It is he who cries first cont..
Sometimes I feel I know strangers
better than I know my friends
Why must a beginning
be the means to an end?
chorus
G C
The stones from my enemies
G C
these wounds will mend
Em D
But I cannot survive
C Em Am G
the roses from my friends
Verse 2
G D Am cont...
When the last word has been spoken
and we've bleared witness to the final setting sun
All that shall remain is a token
of what we've said and done
When all we've had has been forsaken
And distant church bells no longer ring
That's the sound of a heart taken
and the story of tears from a king
chorus
The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
the roses from my friends
Verse 3
This may be the last time I see you
Forgive me for holding you close
This may be the last time I see you
So of this moment I will make the most
This may be the last time I see you
But if you keep me in your heart
together we shall be eternal
If you believe
we shall never part
chorus
The stones from my enemies
These wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
the roses from my friends
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 HARPER 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.
