Talk On Indolence Tuning: EADGBE Tabbed By: Clearangel1 Intro: G (x3) C D (No Chord) Well I've been lockin' myself up in my house for sometime now Readin' and writin' and readin' and thinkin' and searching for reasons and missing the seasons. The Autumn, the Spring, the Summer, the snow. The record will stop and the record will go. Latches latched the windows down, the dog coming in and the dog going out. Up with caffeine and down with a shot. Constantly worried about what I've got. Distracting my work but I can't make a stop and my confidence on and my confidence off. And I sink to the bottom and rise to the top and I think to myself that I do this a lot. World outside just goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes... and witness it all from the blinds of my window. THREE, FOUR Chorus:
IG'm a little nervous 'Cbout what yDou'll think When you see me in my swimming trunks And last night in New York I got raging drunk Remember one time I got raging drunk with you
Now, I can recall a time when we made the city Streets our playground, kissing in the fountains Filled with cigarettes and bottles Sped through Italian city streets of cobblestone Because we had to Because I loved you Because the damned alcohol Beacuse what ever at all (No Chord) Now I've grown to aware of my mortality To let go and forget about dying Long enough to drop the hammer down And let the indolence go wild and flying through Because we had to ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

I was in Elove with your Abeauty From the Eday you walked my Away. Oh, how I Ewish that was Aenough to Have Emade me B7want to Estay.
See, I'm as true as I try to be, And I must say my girl, I tried the best to give to you All of the truest in the world. But, when I left your house that morning in that ragged Thunderbird, I tried so hard to fight the voices From the devils that I heard. See, there's a highway to the right of us I took a year ago, And since a year ago can't drive past Without turning down that road. [Strum E chord]
And GI Cknew it, I Gnever should have Cturned the wheel. And GI Cknew it, the Gvoices calling Cme weren't real. GI Cknew it, Glisten to the Csong they sing. GI Cknew I was Gwrong, and GI Cknew I was Gwrong.
[Repeat Intro, strum E chord, and slide down from 12th Fret on low E] So, give me a try at describing Just how difficult it is, When you kind of love two girls To figure out which one you miss. Stumble away from your stairway With your perfume on my clothes. Well, I kind of loved two girls But, now I kind of lost them both. And I knew it, I never should have turned the wheel. And I knew it, the voices calling me weren't real. I knew it, listen to the song they sing. I knew I was wrong, and I knew I was wrong. And if I could gather up the damage That I've rendered in my life, Place it on a scale and weigh against The damage done that night. Then it'd be safe to say The weight of all I did and didn't do Would surly float against the lightest wrong I ever did to you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.

GIf I had known, your hBmeart was down thatC lonely day in DGreenville town, GThen I would have beenBm more concerned but Clater on I Dtruly learned howG it can feel in Bmevery bone to Creally see you're Dall alone

And if I had seen the way it would be Id hushed your cries when you came to me If I could do what I did to you the same to me then I would love for you to see that I sleep with remorse and regret hangs round my door for ever more. If I had known the lowering tide, was lowering with the way you felt inside if I had known all hope was gone a broken heart and a broken home That pierced, my lovers past and carved a lonely path... for her to walk So if ever someone one says to you, life isnt fair, get used to it Then you should say Well it might be… If folks like you won't let it be' but Ill kiss your head when death becomes my bed and I am gone ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11.The Fall Tuning: EADGBE Tabbed By: PereiraDaMan Intro: G C G C G C D x 3 (With Harmonica Riff)

Then someone they whispered in my ear A county girl cant be made out of anybody here Dont touch it, it loves you not Dont touch it, it loves you not Cause blue birds dont fly without their wings And when we put them in a cage the world can't hear them sing So selfish when greed sets in Possession, the king of sin And people dont ever let you down Forever find a way to kill whatever life they've found A heart beat and I want it too Manhattan is where she grew So I left and I let the flower be And yesterday saw the flower on cable TV Much prettier than here with me For all of the world to see Much prettier than here with me ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14.40 East Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 2 Tabbed By: Macheeoo Intro/Riff: Repeat x4 G Bm C e|--------------2------0----------------------------------| B|--------------3------1--1-------------------------------| G|---<12>-------4------0--0-------------------------------| D|---<12>-------4------2--0h2p0---------------------------| A|--------0-1-2-2--2-3-3--3----2-3-2-0--------------------| E|--3----------------------------------3------------------|

GNovember came and went, Like a Csummer that I spent, With a nDo name girl that walked in jelly Gshoes. GI returned to my home, With a Cheart part made of stone, And I Dcried all night for a girl I never Gknew. GFrom the east it comes, Her love aCnd the rising sun, And I Dpray each time they come, it's not the Glast. GYou see I've got strong, I made iCt through what came along, But I Dcan't move on for the beauty of the Gpast.
Came across a pretty girl, For about a month she was my world, And I held her hand, and swore we'd never part. I moved on, she stayed behind, I said I'd call, she said she'd write, We lost touch the moment I drove off. I left town like a gambler with, The sense of cashin' all the chips, Before I lost them all on a bad deal. I made believe I was in a race, Drove ten thousand miles in seven days, While writing a book called "Being A Free Man". Met more people than the president, The good times came and the good times went, And I learned how to ignore my hunger pains. I looked ahead to the open road, thought about the people and what they know, And wrote a book called "People Don't Know Nothin". (no matter what they tell ya, man) Once I spent my last dime, And counted the ratio of miles to time, I looked up to my disdain and my surprise. I had driven my car around the world, Ended back in the town with the girl, So I wrote a book called "Life in Prison". (Volume. 1) I see that girl every now and then, And we drink to having such good friends, And apologize for the way it did not last. Funny thing that it's all true, And I'll always love November Blue, But I turned her down for the beauty of the past. November came and went, Like a summer that I spent, With a no name girl that walked in jelly shoes. I returned to my home, With a heart part made of stone, And I cried all night for a girl I never knew. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17.Four Thieves Gone Tuning: EADGBE Tabbed By: Oaw19 Tuning: Standard e|-------3-2---|---------------|-------3-2---|---------------|-3-2-0---------| B|-3-1-0-----3-|-3-1-0-------3-|-3-1-0-----3-|-3-1-0-------3-|-------3-1-0---| G|-------------|-------0-2-2---|-------------|-------0-2-2---|-------------2-| D|-------------|---------------|-------------|---------------|---------------| A|-------------|---------------|-------------|---------------|---------------| E|-------------|---------------|-------------|---------------|---------------| Intro Four thieves gone; one woke up Said we cant use the songs we wrote Swear Ive heard that very line e|---------------|-----------------------3-|-3-----2------------------| B|-----3---0---3-|-3-----1-----0-----------|-------------3----------3-| G|-2-2---0---0---|-------------------------|--------------------------| D|---------------|----0-----0-----0----0---|----0-----0-----0----0----| A|---------------|-------------------------|--------------------------| E|---------------|-3-----3-----3----3------|-3-----3-----3-----3------| I cant claim this music mine Three thieves left, one got smart e|------------------|--------------|-------------|---------------------3-| B|-3--------3-------|-1-------1----|-3-------3---|-3----1-----0----------| G|------------------|-------2----2-|---2---2---2-|-----------------------| D|---0----0---0---0-|---2----------|-0---0-------|----0----0-----0---0---| A|------------------|-0---0--------|-------------|-----------------------| E|-3----3---3---3---|--------------|-------------|-3----3-----3----3-----| I saw him leaving in his car From the road e|-3----2---------------|-----------|-------------|--------------------------| B|-----------3--------3-|-3-------3-|-0---------0-|-1------------3----3------| G|----------------------|-----------|-------------|----------------2---------| D|----0----0---0---0----|---0---0---|---2----2----|---2----------0----0------| A|----------------------|-----------|-------------|-0---0-2-3-4--------------| E|-3----3----3---3------|-3---3-----|-0---0-------|----------------------0-2-| I heard him scream It lacks originality Three thieves left One got smart I saw him leaving in his car From the road I heard him scream It lacks originality Two thieves left They both agree They live and die off melody One just fell dead On his back When we listen to the track One thief left He went to jail He left a mile on paper trail Hes in for life He doesn't care Its worth the songs that put him there Four thieves gone Four thieves gone Four thieves gone Four thieves gone ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- END!!!
