Subject: Re: TAB: Edie Brickell - He Said
After seeing many requests for Edie Brickell I decided to tab out my favorite Edie song. I’m working on a couple others and will post them as soon as I get done.
Hope you enjoy and let me know any corrections. Jason
Artist: Edie Brickell
Song: He Said
Album: Ghost of a Dog
Intro: Dsus D Dsus D A G (2x) Riff (4x)
Dus D Dsus D A G
Just before the lights went out
Dus D Dsus D A G
we sat up and talked about
Dus D Dsus D A G
all the things that we would be
Dus D Dsus D A G
I just wanted him to be with me
Riff
Dus D Dsus D A G
but he had a mind of his own
Dus D Dsus D A G
and he did not mind being alone
Dus D Dsus D A G
left me there in my little world
Dus D Dsus D A G
left me there like a little girl
Chorus:
A D Em G
he said, “don’t get hung up;
A D Em G
hang ups will get you down”
A D Em G
he said, “don’t look back;
A D Em G
look up and then look around:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/brickell_edie/he_said_crd.html ]
Dus D Dsus D A G
around that time I was feeling high
Dus D Dsus D A G
like I never had to try
Dus D Dsus D A G
to kick myself up out of bed
Dus D Dsus D A G
kick these worries out of my head
Chorus:
A D Em G
he said “it’s better this way;
A D Em G
one day you’ll understand”
A D Em G
he said, “i’m leaving today”
A D Em G
and he let go of my hand
Am Em
I know that i’ll never see him again
Am Em
not the way the same way I saw him then
Am Em
I know that when I get back on my feet
Am Em
I will walk away from misery
Riff
Dus D Dsus D A G
what do you say when it’s all been said
Dus D Dsus D A G
how do you feel when it’s all been felt
Dus D Dsus D A G
where do you go when it’s all gone
Dus D Dsus D A G
and you don’t care enough to carry on
Chorus:
A D Em G
I say close your eyes,
A D Em G
look down deep inside
A D Em G
someone is there for you,
A D Em G
someone who cares for you
Am Em
I know it’s easier to say than do
Am Em
easier to look away than see it through
Am Em
I know it’s easier to think than feel
Am Em
easier to make it up than make it real
Am Em
it’s hard to love, it’s hard not to love
Am Em (to end)
