Tuning:

Artist: The Refreshments Song: Fonder and Blonder Transcribed by: Joe Daly (DissidentJ@aol.com) * Note below that when the Bm is played, it should be alternated between strums with a Bm7 (just lift the ol' middle finger off the B string if you're playing the standard barre chord Bm). Intro: D Bm/Bm7* G Em G A (this is also the main progression throughout the song)

No more negot^Diations dear I'm runnin' out of ^Bm/Bm7patience here

Whisper congratul^Gations in my ^Emear When it's clear that we got n^Gothin' much left to s^Aay

The ^Dmonuments and maps The sk^Bm/Bm7ylines and the tourist traps

Would all do ^Gwell if they'd col^Emlapse And send you ^Grunnin' back here to ^Ame

CHORUS

Well w^Gho said "Absence makes the heart grow fo^Dnder"? In all the pic^Gtures that you ^Emsend me now

Your hair^G seems to get just a l^Emittle bit ^Ablonder ^DCars break down

And p^Bm/Bm7eople break down and ^Gother things break down^A too

I felt so^Emmethin' slip when you left on your trip And now I t^Ghink I'm breakin' ^Adown on ^Dyou

D Bm/Bm7 G Em G A

Could you be more spec^Dific dear Tell me what is so te^Bm/Bm7rrific here

Don't be to scien^Gtific but make it ^Emclear and never fear I'll be s^Gcratchin' it down my nails in c^Alay

CHORUS

Well w^Gho said "Absence makes the heart grow fo^Dnder"? In all the pic^Gtures that you ^Emsend me now

Your hair^G seems to get just a l^Emittle bit ^Ablonder ^DCars break down

And p^Bm/Bm7eople break down and ^Gother things break down^A too

I felt so^Emmethin' slip when you left on your trip And now I t^Ghink I'm breakin' ^Adown on ^Dyou

Have another ^Gsedative It gets so rep^Detitive And don't do a ^Gdamn to help me ^Dfeel O.K.

And all the ^Gbreath of me here from you and ^Dthat would be very nice If e^Emver it'll help me get thr^Gough the day, yeah yeah yeah yeah,

SOLO (Play main part four times) D Bm/Bm7 G Em G A CHORUS

Well w^Gho said "Absence makes the heart grow fo^Dnder"? In all the pic^Gtures that you ^Emsend me now

Your hair^G seems to get just a l^Emittle bit ^Ablonder ^DCars break down

And p^Bm/Bm7eople break down and ^Gother things break down^A too

I felt so^Emmethin' slip when you left on your trip And now I think ^GI'm breakin' down on... ^A

^DCars break down And p^Bm/Bm7eople break down and

^Gother things break down^A too (spoken) I felt so^Emmethin' slip when you left on your trip

And now I t^Ghink I'm breakin' ^Adown on ^Dyou G Bm/Bm7 G Em G A (fade out)
