SONG: LET IT BE ME ARTIST: JESSE WELLES TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] [Intro] G A F#m G A F#m [Verse]
       G                                         A     F#m
I was stoned in a factory working an industrial slicer

 G                                             A     F#m
Wondering to myself if life could be anything nicer

 G
Inching step by step

             A              F#m
Towards the great American death

        G
I was  dreaming 'bout asbestos as best as I can guess

       A                        F#m
I was itching to confess at the rural festivus
[Pre-Chorus]
 D          A          Bm
Father, Son   and Holy Spirit

              D               A                 Bm
You're gonna have to speak up   'cause I can't hear it

         G                          A
But the tree grew a branch and the branch grew Davidians

 G                        A
Most of them died in the land of comedians

 D              A          Bm                    G
Turns out your mother was part of the slytherin faction

        D                        G
It's alright that you didn't know

           A                       Bdim
She never saw all that much of the action
[Chorus]
              Bm
Well there's promise in the morning

     G
And power in the blood

       D
Folks drink it for the feeling

        G
I just drink it because

  D                    G
I do what John Denver tells me

            A                   Bdim
I wanna do right in case anyone fails me

          Bm
Let it be me

         G
And only me

          D
Let it be me

         G
And only me

          Bm
Let it be me

         G
And only me

     A       F#m
Who fails me

     G      G   A   F#m
Who fails me
G G A F#m [Verse]
         G                                             A     F#m
I was a tombstone tragedy working out the kinks in Wisconsin

      G                                            A      F#m
In a monastery asking the saints if they come here often

      G
In a van with all of my friends

           A               F#m
Where the party that never ends

     G
The liquor's always quicker
I cheat to feel the drums
 A                             F#m
Pounding in my head and in my heart and in my thumbs
[Pre-Chorus]
 D          A          Bm
Father, Son  and Holy Spirit

         D         A             Bm
Set the bar so low,  that I can clear it

          G                      A
Well the clearer the mirror the more of the horror

         G                    A
There's gore on the shore of Sodom and Gomorrah

         D            A
There's something endearing

           Bm               G
About the fear of anything queer here

             D                 G
I've seen a lotta folks fold into a mold

    A                                 Bb
Of something that they couldn't steer clear of
[Chorus]
              Bm
Well there's promise in the morning

     G
And power in the blood

       D
Folks drink it for the feeling

        G
I just drink it because

  D                    G
I do what John Denver tells me

            A                   Bdim
I wanna do right in case anyone fails me

          Bm
Let it be me

         G
And only me

          D
Let it be me

         G
And only me

          Bm
Let it be me

         G
And only me

     A       F#m
Who fails me

     G      G   A   F#m
Who fails me
G G A F#m [Verse]
 G
Hey guys wusssup

                                A     F#m
I always knew I was gonna seem basic

        G                                              A        F#m
In the dagobah system asking folks if they've seen my spaceship

         G
All the Buddhists priests and the Taoist monks

 A                             F#m
Couldn't have stopped me from being a punk

      G
In a Ford Explorer with a tape recorder

 A                             F#m
Beating down your door with an eating disorder
[Pre-Chorus]
 D         A             Bm
Father Time  AND Mother Nature

 D      A               Bm
Why am I of such small stature

 G                        A
All I ever wanted was to die young

       G
But I didn't have the guuts

     A
And songs needed sung

            D                    A
If I could wake up without this feeling

     Bm         G
I'd know I was healing

           D                  G
But every morning when I wake up

        A                   Bb
I just know that it ain't enough
[Chorus]
              Bm
Well there's promise in the morning

     G
And power in the blood

       D
Folks drink it for the feeling

        G
I just drink it because

  D                    G
I do what John Denver tells me

            A                   Bdim
I wanna do right in case anyone fails me

          Bm
Let it be me

         G
And only me

          D
Let it be me

         G
And only me

          Bm
Let it be me

         G
And only me

     A       F#m
Who fails me

     G      G   A   F#m
Who fails me
G G A F#m
