Chords

The tab that up here was in another key or something, and it wasn't even correct in that key. I believe, so I figured I'd submit this. Another simple song from AJJ, yet surprisingly moving. Enjoy. Artist: Andrew Jackson Jihad Album: Only God Can Judge Me Tabber: Michael McElligott
Intro:  G  (play primarily the bottom three strings, and then once he does a little
sweep of the top strings, just listen).

G
I knew a woman once

        Am
giving birth to kittens and mice

    C                       Em
And as you know, with their eating habbits

       C                D
Those poor mice had to die

       G
So the kittens were born

 Am
full of their brothers and sisters

     C                    Em
And they were punished swiftly

            C             D
though they did not know why

Em    C                G
They thought they were food

Em            C                G
they did not know what they'd done

    G
And I was a person once

 Am
sending off unread letters

  C            Em
receiving no reply

        C               D
never bothering asking why

G
I had a heart once

Am
full of fire and passion

          C             Em          C   D
but the summer took it away from me

     Em         C        G
And autumn has come to retrieve it

 Em         C          G
Autumn has come to retrieve it

    G
And I was a man once

     Am
When I was six years old

     C              Em
but now I am just a boy

    C                      D
pretentious and brash and bold

    G
The kittens were murdered

Am
thrown into burlap sacks

    C                   Em
and weighted down with rocks

     C               D
in a river deep and black

    Em    C         G
And th - ey went to Heaven.

Em   C          G
Th - ey went to Heaven.
*End* *Brief Note* In the beginning of each verse, when you go from G to Am, then to C (I knew a woman once...and as you know), during that jump from the Am to the C, the bass plays A - B - C. Listening closely to the recording, you can make it out. If you don't have a bass player and would like to imitate that sound, place a
A
C/B chord (a C chord with C in the bass in between Am and C, right before C.
That's all. 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.
