Subject: "What For" by James
Hi y'all,
Here's another catchy ditty from their early days:
---
"What For" James
C F G G
Today, I won't think of any sad things.
C F G G
Will not think of torture or the rape of nature.
C F G G
Just today, I won't touch those sickening papers.
C F G G
Will just let myself bet swept away by this beautiful day.
[Chorus:]
C F G
What for, tell me, tell me, what for?
C F G
What for, tell me, tell me, what for?
C F G G
The sunset tonight is beyond all words.
C F G
In the sky above the square, startling spirals dancing on air.
[Chorus]
[Solo]
C F G G
I will pass through the glass into air past those birds.
C F G G
In the square, I am sun, I am sky in my mind's eye.
C F G
Today, I will dive into foaming seas.
C F G
Sick fish myself and some strange debris.
C F G G-G7-Am7
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here (4x)
[Chorus]
C F G G
I will pass through the glass into air past those birds.
C F G G
In the square, I am sun, I am sky.
[Chorus]
[Whistle to end]

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 JAMES 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.
