Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
(play primarily the bottom three strings, and then once he does a little
sweep of the top strings, just listen).
I knew a woman once
giving b irth to kittens and mice
And as you know, with their eating habbits
Those poor mice had to d ie
So the kittens were born
f ull of their brothers and sisters
And they were punished swi ftly
though they did not know w hy
They thought they were food
they did not know what they'd d one
And I was a person once
s ending off unread letters
receiving no re ply
never bothering asking w hy
I had a heart once
full of fire and passion
but the summer took it away from me
And autumn has come to re trieve it
Autumn has come to retr ieve it
And I was a man once
When I was six years old
but now I am just a boy
pretentious and brash and b old
The kittens were murdered
thrown into burlap sacks
and weighted down with r ocks
in a river deep and b lack
And th - ey went to Heaven.
Th - ey went to Heaven.
I'm tabbing this without a G string on my acoustic, so I hope it sounds fine (shouldn't
make a difference). Enjoy and keep supporting AJJ...incredible band that shows just
how much simple chords can do.
