Most Precarious
Blues Traveler
I used to play this song with the GAD progression, but from the first time I played along
with the song, I knew it wasn't correct. This song is played with power chords. I have
used the other version of this song's tab as a template to create this one, so thank you,
RHODG8888@aol.com. Aside from a couple of possible typos, this should be 100% correct.
Chords:
E A5X B5X E5X Em0 G#5X C#5X
B X X X 0 X X
G X X X 0 X X
D 7 9 14 2 6 11
A 7 9 14 2 6 11
E 5 7 12 0 4 9
Of course, you can always play E5 as [X 7 9 9 X X], but it sounds as if Chan slides
from A5 to B5 to E5 rather than skip to the A string to play the E5.
Intro: A5 B5 E5 (3 times) then A5 B5 Em (once)
Verse 1:
Don't you give up. A5Don't alB5low disE5aster. A5 B5 E5
Don't you give up. A5Don't you B5let her E5win. A5 B5 E5
We're talking abA5out a foB5rever afE5ter. A5 B5 E5
Don't you give up. A5Don't youB5 dare give inEm.
Don't you give up. A5Don't youB5 dare give inE5.
Chorus 1:
Doesn't it A5seem B5most preE5carious'
Doesn't it A5seem such B5a chance to E5take'
Doesn't it A5seem B5most preE5carious'
Why does it A5feel like B5a big misEmtake'
Second Verse:
Please underA5stand and B5hear what I'm E5saying. A5 B5 E5
The time is A5now and we B5don't have E5long. A5 B5 E5
She could be A5oceans awB5ay tomE5orrow. A5 B5 E5
So soon your A5chance will have B5come and Emgone.
So soon your A5chance will have B5come and E5gone.
Chorus 1
Verse 3:
The tight-wires A5strung and you're oB5ut in the miE5ddle. A5 B5 E5
All eyes upA5on you no nB5et belowE5. A5 B5 E5
Inches to A5go and you're B5almost home E5free. A5 B5 E5
Feel the wires A5swaying B5to and Emfro.
Feel the wires A5swaying B5to and E5fro.
Chorus 2 (First 3 lines same as Chorus 1):
Doesn't it seem most precarious'
Doesn't it seem such a chance to take'
Doesn't it seem most precarious'
Why does it A5feel like it B5would be a C#5damn B5shame'
Would be forG#5ever if it meant a E5day.
How stoically A5I excB5laim
As she A5turns from me and walks G#5away.
Here is where the harmonica solo starts. The intro pattern is repeated 3 times during
this solo (A5 B5 E5 3 times, then A5 B5 Em once). There is one part near the end of the
solo where the pattern is A5 B5 E5 E5--where the E5 chord is repeted for emphasis. This
occurs on the third A5 B5 E5 just before doing the A5 B5 Em.
Verse 4:
The light in her A5eyes explanB5ation escaE5pes you. A5 B5 E5
Longing to A5please and nB5ot feel alonE5e. A5 B5 E5
And she doesn't A5know it but reallB5y she loves yoE5u. A5 B5 E5
Some day so A5soon you're gonna mB5ake it hoEmme.
Some day so A5soon you're gonna mB5ake it hoE5me.
Chorus 1 (Repeat once)
