THIS IS MY FAVORITE BAND!!! This is how I play it, and it may not mean
it's right. But it's a great song. Comments & suggestions, welcome.
INTRO:
chord is a D5, structured x0023x
the little riff played over it looks like this:
e ------------------------------------------------------------------
B ------------------------------------------------------------------
G ------------------------------------------------------------------
D -0-0h2-0--7p5p4-----0-0h2-0-------0-----(REPEAT)------------------
A -----------------------------0h2----------------------------------
E ------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: the '7s5s4' is one fluid motion
h=hammer
p=pick off
D5
It's hard to rely on my good intentions
When my head's full of things that I can't mention
G
It seems I usually get things right
But I can't understand what I did last night
(INTRO AGAIN)
D5
And it's hard to rely on my own good senses
When I miss so much that requires attention
G
I have to laugh at myself sometimes
And I can't see that I'm not blind
A
CHORUS:
D5
There's little relief
Give us reprieve
Ho-oh
G
For all the things I've left behind
A
I'm positive that I'm not blind
Here's the little riff played over the D5 chord in the chorus (it's only
one the B string)
B ---8-7-5-3------------------
BACK TO INTRO
D5
I'm not afraid that things won't get better
But it feels like this has gone on forever
G
You have to cry with your own good tears
You have to laugh with your own good cheers
D5
And it's hard to rely on my good intentions
When my heads full of things that I can't mention
G
It seems I usually get things right
But I can't understand what I did last night
CHORUS
only change is 3rd lyrics:
And imagine in the world outside
I'm positive that I'm not blind
A
I can't be hard on you
G
Cos I know I've been there too
A
A lot of things for you
Ho-oh
CHORUS
When everyone is cold outside
I clench my fists and close my eyes
Imagining the world outside
And I can't see that I'm not blind
INTRO TO END
Enjoy... Justin Kunz
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 TOAD THE WET SPROCKET 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.
