FRACTION OF A MAN - Shawn Mullins Tabbed by: Matt Faulkner Email: mmfaulkner@una.edu Tuning: EADGBe Capo 2 He plays different intros on each version of this song. I usually just play G - C - G-D - G or something like that. As long as it's in the key, it'll sound fine... Fraction of a Man Capo 2

^GNow my old friend Harry ^CNever slowed down to marry

He's in s^Gales, he's gone most of the y^Dear

He s^Gmiles through all his lies With do^Cllar signs in his eyes

G D Riff 1 (Em G) And he orders himself another beer

^GNow Harry, he's a dreamer ^CA scholar and a schemer

But he'll be t^Ghere for you When push comes to sh^Dove

His m^Gama called him Harold ^CAnd she was one of only two w^Gomen

D Riff 2 (Em C) That Harry ever loved

^CThe other was a waitress ^CIn Cave Creek, Arizona

^CThat broke his heart And tangled up his m^Gind

^GMy old friend Harry ^DLookin' kinda scary

D7 Riff 3 (Em C D) Wonders if he's runnin' out of time

Now B^Giloxi's got a sadness Like a d^Cark day in December

^GThat Harry recognizes In al^Dl forgotten southern towns

^GThumbin' through the phonebook For a n^Came he can't remember

Lookin' de^Gsperate, like a junk^Die Waitin' for a fix to come ar^Emound ^D

^CSittin' playing Blackjack ^CWith a hooker and a tourist

^CAnd a one-eyed dealer winning every h^Gand ^GHarry sips Black Label

^DSlumps down at the table D7 Riff 3 (Em) Feelin' like a fraction of a man

(C) (D) Em C D G Feelin' like a fraction of a man He doesn't play these on Honeydew, but he puts them in on his live album.
