Artist: Willy Mason
Track: Just a Fly
Album: Where The Humans Eat
Date: 20th May 2005
Tabbed by: Hosho & The_ashtraygirl
Special Thanks to The_ashtraygirl who provided a starting point for me. Her tab is right
next to mine if you wanna take a look. ^^
I'm not certain this is right I'm afraid, but it's as close as I can get. The major
difference between this version and the_ashtraygirl's, aside from the strum patter
(which you really, REALLY should get from the track as i've almost certainly got it
wrong) is the G chord, which I'm playing in E shape barred at the 3rd fret. That seems
to make the chorus make more sense. Corrections are welcomed.

Lyrics/Chords below taken directly from the_ashtraygirl's tab
=============================================================
CThat's alright, that's okay
AmI can wait, you're still a fly
GEating through, trying to live within the space you're in
CBut still, you're just a kid
AmYou shouldn't read DGostoevsky at your age
CThat and nicotine will make you pale and lean
AmAnd twist your face like Mr. Grays
Though it just mGanifests in paintings that you make
COr else your eyes will stay the same
AmAre you that hungry for a Gchange'
Chorus
======
First off, the last bar of the Verse will change slightly going into the chorus. New tab
as follows. (this is why you're playing a barred G instead of the usual G shape.)
G
e|-----------------|
b|-------3---------|
G|-------4---------|
D|---5---5---3-----|
A|---------------5-|
E|-3---3---3---3---|
And the actual chorus. (not sure how to denote this in tab, basically a slide in between
listen to the track if you're not sure what i mean) Occasionally towards the end Willy
the chorus just a little by hammering onto the 1st fret on the B string during the 2nd
bar in the sequence, worth a try if you want to spice things up a little.

You're..
Dm7You're waking up
Cmaj7You're flying out
Dm7The door has sprung loose
Cmaj7Don't forget me
The "I wrote this to annoy Hosho" bit at the end
================================================
I swear Willy only put this part in to make my job more difficult.. ^.^;

Then it came and rained on..
Then it came and rained on down, from the sky and onto my head
I tried to think but it was too fast, so I just said anything that came (at last)
Play the chorus one last time and yer done.
