The Bates - "Hello" from the album "The Bates" (1994) Tabbed by: wo80 You can see Reb playing the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyY4G_Kbmrc#t=25m11s [Verse]

^A Woke up this morning and the ^B streets were full of cars ^D All bright and shiny like they'd ^A just arrived from mars ^A And as I stumbled through last ^B night's drunken debris ^D The paperboy screamed out the ^A headlines in the street

[Pre-Chorus - 0:14]

^Em Another war and now the ^D pound is looking weak ^C And tell me have you read a-^Bm-bout the latest freak ^Em We're bingo numbers and our ^D names are obsolete ^C Why do I feel bitter, when I ^B should be feelin' sweet

[Chorus - 0:30] (power chords)

Hello ^E hello, ^C#m turn your radio ^G#m on ^B Is there ^E anybody out there, ^C#m help me sing my ^G#m song ^B

La-la-la ^F#m life is a strange thing ^G#m ^A Just when you think you ^B know how to use it, it's ^E gone.

Hint: Strum the A only once, don't play the B (it's only played by the bass). Then strum the E once and play the following fill-in, which leads to the second verse.

^A Woke up this morning and my ^B head was in a dace ^D A brave new world has dawned up-^A-on the human race ^A Where words are meaningless and ^B everything's surreal ^D Gonna have to reach my friends to ^A find out how I feel

[Pre-Chorus - 1:09]

^Em And if I taste the honey, ^D is it really sweet ^C And do I eat it with my ^Bm hands or with my feet ^Em Does anybody really ^D listen when I speak ^C Or will I have to say it ^B all again next week

[Chorus - 1:25] (power chords)

Hello ^E hello, ^C#m turn your radio ^G#m on ^B Is there ^E anybody out there, ^C#m help me sing my ^G#m song ^B

Hello ^E hello, ^C#m turn your radio ^G#m on ^B Is there ^E anybody out there, ^C#m tell me what went ^G#m wrong ^B
