                   What I Am - Edie Brickell 
                 ------------------------------ 
  
                    Tabbed by Howard Wright 
                    H.Wright@astro.cf.ac.uk 
  
                    Can't remember the name of the album 
                    it's from, but it's the one with the 
                    child-like colourful drawings of the 
                    band on the front. 
  
 Intro/Main Riff : 
 ------------------ 
  
 This is all based on the sus2 shape : 
  
  EADGBE 
  x24422 
  
   Bsus2 
  
 Just move it up two D, then down to A, then back to B. 
  
  
 E-----------------------------5-------------------------------2----| 
 B---------2----2--------5------------------------0------------2----| 
 G---------4----4--------------------------2----2---------4---------| 
 D---------4----4------7-------------------2--2---------4-----------|

 Verse : 
 -------- 
  
 Keep repeating the main riff over these words : 
  
  
 I'm not aware of too many things 
 I know what I know if you know what I mean 
  
 (Repeat once) 
  
 Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box 
 Religion is the smile on a dog 
 I'm not aware of too many things 
 I know what I know if you know what I mean 
 De-doo yeah 
  
  
 Chorus: 
 -------- 
  
 Em              D 
 Chuck me in the shallow water 
  
 Em               D 
 Before I get too deep 
  
 (Repeat once - I think ..) 
  
  
 Then back to the main riff. 
  
 The whole song is just these two parts - the sus2 riff 
 alternating with Em and D for the chorus. 
  
 There's a little lead line on guitar over the chorus : 
  
  
   Em                     D 
  
 E---12---15---12-----12---------14---12------| 
 B----------------15------15--15----------15--| 
 G--------------------------------------------| 
 D--------------------------------------------| 
 A--------------------------------------------| 
 E--------------------------------------------| 
  
     Chuck  me in  the    shallow water 
  
  
 That's about it !
