What I Am - Edie Brickell
------------------------------
Tabbed by Christopher Weetly
Intro/Main Riff :
------------------
This is all based on the sus2 shape :
EADGBE
x24422
Bsus2
Just move it up two D, then down to A, then back to B.
E-----------------------------5-------------------------------2----
B---------2----2--------5------------------------0------------2----
G---------4----4--------------------------2----2---------4---------
D---------4----4------7-------------------2--2---------4-----------
A--2--2-2----2------5------5-------0-0-0-------------2------2------
E------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse :
--------
Keep repeating the main riff over these words :
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
(Repeat once)
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
De-doo yeah
Chorus:
--------
Em D
Chuck me in the shallow water
Em D
Before I get too deep
(Repeat once - I think ..)
Then back to the main riff.
The whole song is just these two parts - the sus2 riff
alternating with Em and D for the chorus.
There's a little lead line on guitar over the chorus :
Em D
E---12---15---12-----12---------14---12------
B----------------15------15--15----------15--
G--------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------
Chuck me in the shallow water
I haven't really got the solo yet, but I know it's based on the E Minor Dorian, and u can guide yourself from the lead chorus part too, so it shouldn't be that hard really, I just normally change it everytime I play and give it some of my own flavore.
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 EDIE BRICKELL 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.
