Hootie and the Blowfish - Fairweather Johnson (v1.0)
	(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)
Hey all! Well, I'm back, and I have been tabbing
madly to get this new album done. I'll admit this
first version of the tab might be rough and missing
a bunch of solos and fills and what-not. But if you
come up with anything, just mail me with comments
and corrections and all the usual stuff. 

Oh yeah, and Honeyscrew and When I'm Lonely are missing,
but people have been asking me for the whole album
all together, so here it is...

@SONG: Be The One
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)

Intro: Am-Em* (2x)

(verse)
Am Em*  Am
I wonder
Em*
Why are we involved
Am 		Em*  Am
With the seasons
Em*
And the living of our own
F			Am	G
Let me see if nothing's wrong
F		   Am		G
I just want to be the one

(verse)
(She) wanted
You still give her all our lives
Let her be son
Who is she buying
See her crawl
IЖll just make it out

(chorus)
(Now)
Am-Em			F-Em*
Now................     (We donЖt see it bleeding)
Am		Em			F	B
I want to die with you      (Something no ones needing)

(verse)
I left the other day
But youЖre never here
You only listen to things
You want to save
But the power itЖs ok with you
You knew IЖd find something else to do

(chorus)
Let me be the one  (we donЖt see it bleeding)
I wanna fly, I wanna die with you   (Something no ones)

See itЖs not like they
Are gonna take my faith away
Let me in itЖs ok now
Close the door

(verse, first line w/no lyrics)
Is it really needing
When you find a place
ThatЖs only yours
Just go he beams
Well IЖve died for good now

F			
Let me feel it
Am-G		F			Am	G
Let her come---let her run---let her run

(chorus)
(Now)
Let me be the one
(We donЖt see it bleeding)
I canЖt feel it, I canЖt see it
(Something no ones needing)
I feel dumb

(verse)
A	Am9+7		
I know she said
Am9		A7*			D

Do you really want to play these games
Just to keep things going
D		E		A
Or are you ready now to let it be

Control has left me
And I can't feel another thing
So let me turn around

(verse)
I see I see
But things just couldn't be the same
So let me hold you down

Never let me down I swore to you
But now I lied
I'm here to make it all seem worth while
You want I know
But I'll have to try
To find a way to make me quiet now

(verse)
Control has left me
And I can't feel another thing
So let me turn around

(verse)
I see I see
But things just couldn't be the same
So won't you hunt her down

(verse)
I know she said
Before you left me you were free
So I'll just lay me down

(with Riff A)
Staring back at you
Did you see my lips
Or were you smiling right in front of me

Your father called my name
Then he smiled with great relief
'Cause it wasn't me that you were clinging to

Am
He made you turn around
G
You do that thing you do
F
And then you laughed with me

C		F
I don't know
C		F
What I can't see
C		F			G
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but she's watching me leave

(riff A again)
Just wish they'd turn around
Just wish they'd try to see
But they don't understand and that's alright with me I'm leaving now

Going down to Tucker's Town
Where I can lie for free
Nobody stares at me and I'd love to hurt the population

She called last night
I said I'm about to leave
Then I heard him scream, "I'll pack your bags"

I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm leaving here

F					G
To see the world through your Rosy glasses
A				G-G-F
I'll teach you to fly but they teach greed
G-G-F				G
   We live the belt but I can bleed

(riff A)
I don't know............................................
What I can't see........................................
I don't know
What I can't see

@SONG: She Crawls Away
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)


Intro: E	  F#m   B-B

(verse)
E	
I fall in she sees me and smiles
F#m
Then she starts to hate herself again
E
She screams something under her breath
F#m
That I wouldn't know if she said it outloud

(verse)
She turns over to start a conversation
With a man that noone else can see
She dreams of loving me sometimes
And it makes me see what we've been missing

(bridge)
C#m		E			F#m		   B-B
It's like I never knew anyone so strong before
C#m		E
She Brings the man outa me
		A					B-B
And she makes me see that they don't matter

(chorus)
E   B
I believe
A					B-B
We see her playin' with another 
E	B			A
She runs around you and then
F#m				B 				B7
It's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again

(verse)
She wears white pants a Miami sweater
Says that She loves the O's
So Uncle Dean will come by

(verse)
Her smile is like sunshine 
Her tears hurt like leather
She runs the show she lets me know
Says it's all about being the only

(bridge)
It's like someone said you could have one good thing in your life
She couldn't be your type
I didn't plan for your smile, but you make me laugh when you stand dreamin'

(chorus)
I believe, we see her layin with another 
She runs around you and then
It's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again

A			B
Where were you yesterday
E					A
Now that my heart is wild and free
C#m				B
And my lips have room to wander
A				C#m
How can I say your needing me now
B
When I've got a plan
			A
I know you don't understand why my heart is sorry now

(chrous 2x)
I believe
We see her laying with another
She runs around you and then
it's like the sun goes down and she crawls
I believe
We see her waiting with another
She runs around you and then
it's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again

@SONG: So Strange
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)
(capo 2nd)

Intro: D-A-G (2x)

(verse)
D	  A			G	(Riff A)
It's so hard to breathe right now
D	  	 A			G	(Riff B)
Living things without a friend of mine
D		A		C	G		A
Air just filling every bit, of every end, of every mind
G				A
You thought you could feel

(verse)
And it's maybe 6 a.m.
And no one wants to be with me
So I'm calling out to someone and something that I don't know so well
Ohh, I'm free

(chorus)
	D		  A		   G
If I can't find the warmth in my summer
D			   A		   G	  A
And I can't find the light in my day
	D		A		G			F#m	E		
I just look to my friends and we'll see our troubles away
B			A
You make me feel so strange

D-A-G-D-A-G

(verse)
Won't you let me breathe the air
I want to hold on to right now
Won't you let me read a book about
Someone's queen who came back for me 

(verse)
I see bridges in my eyes
I see mornings left for the children
I see people holding back, trying to find another reason so they can walk away
And it makes me scream and I pray

(chorus)
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friends and I'll see our troubles away
You make me feel so

G		 D
It can never end 'cause we don't speak
G			D	D/C
It will never just die
	G			A
So why don't you call the man
G					   	    A
And, tell him to come over here and just clean up my pride

(chorus)
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friend and we'll see our little troubles away
You make me feel so strange

(chorus)
If you can't find the warmth in my summer
And I can't find the light in my day
I just look to my friend and we'll see our troubles away

Where you going young man

Said I'm going to fight a war
Gonna fight for my country
In some foreign land

He said "The sun will never hurt you
Never harmed anyone
But you must realize"

She will win in the end
She will burn your eyes
She will burn them

Seen a million places

And I wonder who will walk with me
(repeat intro)
When I get to Heaven

He said "Boy I was young once
Yeah I was tough
Sailing on Uncle Sam's boat
Hey I could kill the enemy
I could die on foreign streets
But I could not vote
But now you walk by me
You won't talk to me
Say this is my fate
But every time you walk the streets boy
Most of them you meet
You see it's you they hate
It's you...

Seen a million faces
Seen a million places die
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven
I hope I get there

(solo)

Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And I wonder who will walk with me 
(guitar out, piano/bass do the B/A/E)
When I get there

(stab chords on offbeat)
See this woman sitting next to me
She's been there for a long, long time
And when I fell, she picked me up
When I cried, she wiped my tears
I thank god she's mine
And when I leave this world
She won't have anything
But her love for me
'Cause the man took everything else
Made me hate myself
So just let her be boy
Won't you let her be

(guitar back full)
Seen a million faces
Seen a million places die
Seen a million mothers
Seen a million mothers cryin'
And I wonder who will walk with me
When I get to Heaven
When I get to Heaven
I hope I get there
When I get to Heaven

@SONG: Earth Stopped Cold At Dawn
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)

Intro: D-D-D4-D-D2  Bm   (Riff A) (four times)

(Riff A)
Another reason to doubt me
Another teardrop falls
Can't wait for a friend when loneliness calls
Another kiss in the basement
Pour salt on my tongue
No one cries for heros left unsung

(chorus)
G			A
Look at me when I'm talking to you
G	G/F#(bass)	A
Look at me in the eyes
G		A		    G     A
Then look away and tell me why...why

(Riff A)
Another tasteless movie
Another kiss goodnight
Could be a dark oasis in my life
Another icon smashed to pieces
By yesterday's romance
Another hated person no more chances

(chorus)
Look at me when I'm talking to you
Look at me in the eyes
Then look away and tell me why...why

String break : Riff A

(Riff A, minus D4 & D2)
Playin' with a happy boy
A cold place for a man
Familiar faces in a foreign land

G				A
The hands kept spinning around the face
G	G/F#(bass)		A
But the earth stopped cold at dawn
G	A	  Riff B(**)
For a moment, then moved on
G	A	  Riff B
For a moment, then moved on...

Riff A (4x, end on D2)

@SONG: Fairweather Johnson
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)
** These are the piano chords**

Am-G-F-G for the whole thing...

Liked the Steelers...in '75
I only like the Broncos, when they come alive (laugh)
Liked the Redskins in '83
And when the Dolphins are playing well
Yeah well, they're the team for me

Cause I'm...
Fairweather Johnson (???)
Yeah, yes, I'm...
Fairweather Johnson
(??? I liked the Braves in '95)
(laugh)
	spoken: I liked the Braves in '95
-----------------------------------------------

@SONG: Honeyscrew

Fly inside
Feel me dealing
Holding on to a story just told
About a man who's the life of a funeral
Grabbing on to a woman who's soul
He just stole for a dream he don't believe in  
Now she sits and she yells for a smile
"Don't let the sun make me feel lonely"
Oh let me in let me in let me in

Is it me
Or is it honey

We all seem to hold
To Something we don't see
Is He here
Is He there
Where does He live
Some people say in the pull of a heartbeat
Some people say in the mind of a stranger
I can't explain what it is I believe in
So take your heart take your mind and escape

Is it me
Or is it honey
Is it me
Or is it honey

Is it me trying to raise your little children
Is it me trying to take your little flame
Why are you trying to steal my judgement day away
Let me scream let me scream let me scream
Don't take it away

Another day in the arms of the real thing
Another day in the eyes of a fool
I called today just to make me feel hopeless
Lie to me and I'll try to believe
-----------------------------------------------

Intro: E-B-C#m-B-A (2x)

(verse)
E			B
Could we do it again
C#m			B
If he asked how it felt
A
And I didn't say this time
E					B
You tried to scare me with empty thoughts
C#m			B
That means not a thing
A
'Cause I'm down behind you

(verse)
Could we swing it again
If I changed how he looked
And turned to the right to bend
You live with something that I can't explain
But your face cracks a smile when you see it shining

(chorus)
A				B
You feel things in your own way
C#m					B
And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you

I don't want to be you
A
You don't want to be me.
B
Just let it breathe

E-B-C#m-B-A

(verse)
If the moon goes up tomorrow and I'm down on a farm
And you don't believe whose writing with me
Keep your hands to yourself
Keep your mind to yourself
Keep your breath to yourself
Let me float on by you

(chorus)
You see things in your own way
And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you
I'm tired of bailing hay for something that I can't see
You don't want to be me
I don't want to be you

(bridge)
A	  E	 A	E
It's so very necessary
A	  E	  	    A	    E
It's so delectable to see a stone
A	  G#m		    C#m	B
It's so impossible to find a reason
		A
When you're standing there
B
Watching me now

E-B-C#m-B-A

(verse)
Could we live it again
If we dressed just the same 
And held on to lovers when
We couldn't really live with anyone
See mostly ourselves so just go on lying

(chorus)
You feel things in your own way
And I'm supposed to lay down and bow to you
I'm tired of bailing hay for someone that I can't see
I don't want to be you
You don't want to be me 

(A-E till end)
Just let it breathe
Let it breathe

To let it seem like all is wrong
Inside my den

Intro: G-D (with riff A, two times)

(verse)
G (**)
Saw you last night
F
You were sleeping in my mind
G				F
Doubting you'll ever be free again
G
Then I climbed back inside
	  F
Someone open my eyes
G
To find me drunk again
F
Bonnie on the radio, and she was singing low
G (add Riff B)
"Give it up or let me go"

Every night there is one more

Every night there is two more

I think I better grow up now or go insane

(chorus)
C		D
There's so much I feel
G	D/F#		Em
So much I conceal

C			   D
There's just so many things I can be

(verse)
Someone write the story of 5 points
No one wanted to know me
Now they all have opinions of what we do
So they go down to Bar None so we can have a drink or two
Can't write a story from the trees
I know somewhere she's watching me
Saying "Boy carry your load"
Oh I don't want to go back on the road now

(chorus twice)
There's so much I feel
So much I conceal
There's just so many places to see
And faces I can read
C			   D
There's just so many things I can be

@SONG: When I'm Lonely

Eyes like an infant
Staring me down
She'll take anything that's tied up
In my glorious past

It's just 4 days 'til Sunday
When I say that I'm gone
Little one screams you cry
Tell the pain to leave me alone

It's just 2 days 'til Monday
Another week 'til the 4th
Is anyone listening or
Should I call on the Lord

Sometimes I breathe
Sometimes I see
Then I dream a dream that won't come true
And I struggle with lies when I'm lonely

Someone called my name out loud about 4 a.m.
It wasn't you so I let her in
Just to see what she wanted
She left screaming because I called her by your name
But the next day she came to call
And we finished our game

Alright now
Some days I breathe
Some days I see
Then I dream a dream that won't come true
And I struggle with time when I'm lonely

Shep plays piano down in 
Shandon on the other side of Rosewood
You said he wasn't your type
But you went anyway
You left screamin' cause you thought you would
Call him by my name
Ah and you whisper
Why do I do this 
I can't go through this why do I do this, why

Sometimes I breathe
Sometimes I see
Then I dream a dream that won't come true
And I struggle with life when I'm lonely
