Death of the Blues - The Radiators
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Kent
One from America's greatest band. This is accurate enough to jam out to, then again I'm
little drunk...then
again one should be if you're listenin' to the Rads.
I'm listening to their show at the great american music hall in '05, so the beginning's
always different

(Key changes from C to G:) (and when you go from D to Em, go up chromatically)
We can't lie [G], anymore [D], the [Em} way we used to [C]do
At the [G] self important people [D], like some [Em} crazy fool [C]
Got to [G] watch your mouth, who you're [D] givin' it to, if you [Em} hurt somebody,
[C] might catch a death of the [G] blues, [D] death of the [C] blues [C][B][A]
We might [G] get what we [C] want, but we [G] ain't gonna [C] find what we [G] loose.
(play intro riff guy between verses)
we can't cry anymore, when we're feeling blue
all the real important people, might think we're all crazy fools
got to watch your tears, who you show them to
if you let them fall, might catch a death of the blues, death of the blues
We might get what we want, but you ain't gonna find what you loose.
we can't play, anymore, like kids right after school
all the real important people, got important things to do,
got to watch your time, who you're givin' it to, if you have some fun,
might catch a of the blues, death of the blues.
We might get what we want, but you ain't gonna find what you loose.
we can't love, anymore, with a love that's strong and true,
all the real important people, might think that we're all crazy fools,
got to watch your heart, who you're givin' it to, if you love somebody,
might catch a of the blues......
