[G] [G6] [C9] [Dsus] [D] [D9] [D]
[G] [G6] [C9] [Dsus] [D] [D9] [D]
I'm [G]tryin' to tell you [G6]somethin 'bout my [C9]life [Dsus] [D]
[D9]
[D]
maybe [G]give me insight [G6]between black and [C9]white [Dsus] [D]
[D9]
[D]
And the [D11]best thing you've ever done for [C]me
Is to [D11]help me take my life less serious[C]ly
Its only life [G]after all. [G6] [C9] [Dsus] [D] [D9]
[D]
Well [G]darkness has a [G6]hunger that in[C9]satiable [Dsus] [D] [D9
] [
D]
and [G]lightness has a [G6]call thats hard to [C9]hear. [Dsus] [D] [
D9]
[D]
And I [D11]wrap my fear around me like a [C]blanket.
I [D11]sailed my ship of safety til I [C]sank it.
I'm crawling on your [G]shores.
{soc}
{c:CHORUS (1)}
I [D]went to the doctor, I [C9]went to the [G]mountain
I [D]looked to children, I [C9]drank from the [G]fountain
{c:CHORUS (2)}
Theres [D11]more than one answer to these [C]questions
Pointing me in a [G]crooked line.
And the [D11]less I seek my source for some [C]definitive
The closer I [G]am to fine [G6] [C9]
The [Dsus]closer I [G]am to fine [G6] [C9] [D]
{eoc}
And I [G]went to see the [G6]doctor of phi[C9]losphy [Dsus] [D] [D9]
[D
]
With a [G]poster of Ras[G6]putin and a [C9]beard down to his knee. [Dsus]
[D]
[D9] [D]
He [D11]never did marry, or [C]see a B grade movie.
He [D11]graded my performance, he [C]said he could see through me.
I spent [G]four years prostrate [D]to the higher mind,
[C9]Got my [D]paper and I was free. [G]
{np}
{c:CHORUS (1)}
{c:CHORUS (2)}
{c: Bridge - Whistle}
[D11] [C] [D11] [C]
I [G]stopped by a [G6]bar at three AM [C9] [Dsus] [D] [D9]
[D]
To seek [G]solace in a [G6]bottle, or [C9]possibly a [Dsus]friend. [D] [D9]
[D
]
I [D11]woke up with a headache like my [C]head against a board
[D11]Twice as cloudy as I'd been the [C]night before
and I [D]went seeking clari[G]ty.
{c:CHORUS (1)}
We [D]go to the doctor, we [C9]go to the [G]mountain
We [D]look to the children, we [C9]drink from the [G]fountain.
We [D]go to the Bible, we [C9]go through the [G]workout
We [D]read up on revival, we [C9]stand up for the [G]lookout.
{c:CHORUS (2)}
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 INDIGO GIRLS 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.
