------------------------------------------------------------------- TASTE - IF I DON'T SING I'LL CRY (Gallagher) From ON THE BOARDS album. Released January 1970. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:PJVillanueva You broke my heart, But you opened up my eyes, Yes I've been a fool, Now I realize. If I can't walk I'll fly, If I can't sing I'll cry. I hit the ground, Made me feel a whole lot better, Ain't no sense for her to go, Well, how can I just let her? Now if I can't walk I'll fly, If I can't sing I'll cry. You broke my heart, Put tears into my eyes, You must go your way, I know how fast I've crashed. Well if I can't walk I'll fly, If I can't sing I'll cry. If I can't walk I'll fly, Well if I can't sing I'll cry, If I can't sing I'll die. 12/8 e|------- ------- ------- -------|------- ------- ------- -------| B|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| G|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| D|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| A|-------------------------------|-----------------------------9-| E|-------------------------------|-----------------------------7-| e|------- ------- ------- -------|------- ------- ------- -------| B|-------------------------------|----------------7B8-----7B8R74-| G|-------------------------------|----------------------5-------5| D|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| A|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| E|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| C5 C6 C5 C6 F5 F6 F5 F6 e|------- ------- ------- -------|------- ------- ------- -------| B|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| G|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| D|-----------------------------9/10---10-12---12-10---10-12------| A10---10-12---12-10---10-12----7/|8----8--8----8--8----8--8------| E|8----8--8----8--8----8--8------|-------------------------------| You broke my heart, But you opened up my e|------- ------- ------- -------|------- ------- ------- -------| B|5------------------------------|-------------------------------| G|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| D|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| A|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| E|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| (C5/C6..) e|------- ------- ------- -------|------- ------- ------- -------| B|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| G|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| D|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| A10---10-12---12-10---10-12---12-10---10-12---12-10---10-12------| E|8----8--8----8--8----8--8----8-|8----8--8----8--8----8--8------| eyes, (F5/F6..) e|------- ------- ------- -------|------- ------- ------- -------| B|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| G|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| D10---10-12---12-10---10-12---12-10---10-12---12-10---10-12------| A|8----8--8----8--8----8--8----8-|8----8--8----8--8----8--8---10-| E|-------------------------------|-----------------------------8-| Yes I've been a fool, Now I realize.
