----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Worn Out - Kelly Joe Phelps ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Seanie McDonald (Cork, Ireland) Tuning: Standard, capo on 5th fret. If you do a bit of finger picking you shouldn't find this too hard. It's a beautiful tune which closes Kelly Joe Phelps' Sky Like a Broken Clock album. This guitar phrase just repeats itself round and round with vocals over some, and also accompanied by a sweet sounding double bass. I copied the lyrics from another site, hopefully they're accurate. I also put the outro at the end. Please rate and comment. Enjoy playing! e|-7---5---0-------|-0-3-2-0---------|---0-------------|------------------| B|-------------3---|-----3---3---0--0|-1---3-0---------|-0----------(3)---| G|---0---0---0---0-|-----2-----2---0-|---------2/4-0--2|----20------------| D|-5---4-----------|-----0-----------|---------0---4-0-|-------4-2-2------| A|---------3---2---|-3---------------|-0---2-----------|-----2---3--------| E -----------------|---------2---3---|---------2---0---|-1----------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|-------0---------|-----------0---0-|-----3-----------|-----------------| B|-----0---3-3-----|-0---0-1-3---6---|-0-1---1-0-------|-----------------| G|-0-2-2-------2---|---3-----4---4---|-----0-----2-2-0-|---0-2-----------| D|-0-------------0-|-------------0---|-----------------|-4-----4-0---0---| A|-----------------|-----------------|-0-------0-------|-5---3---2---0---| E|-1-------2-------|-3-------4-------|-----------------|-----------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + p h e|-----------------|-------0-1---10--|-----3-2-0---0---|-----0-------3---| B|-0---0-1-3-3-----|-3-2-3---------0-|-0-1-------0-----|-1-3-------------| G|---3---------2---|-2-------1---1---|-0---0-----0-----|-------2-0---0---| D|-----0-------0---|-----0-----0-----|-----------------|-2-----0---0-----| A|-----------------|-----------------|-0---------------|-----------------| E|-3-------2-------|-1-------0-------|---------4-------|-3---2---3-------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Wonder flood the valley Tunnel feed the soil Free advice with constant wit Never to recoil Bums rush over the high grass field With shoes of plastic lace That untie at the first step Not the last that wins the race Herein lies my sure demise Or 'haps my one bright seed This or then the other tact Falls right and starts to bleed Can you hear a toneless rhyme Between my bones and sunken eyes? No... I think not- It's as if my thought has worn The clown's disguise Oh, my little life worn out On the goddamn road I live to breath more than believe A reason for this load Is it my own version Of a terrifying leap across An unforgiving landscape When all I want is sleep? Unfolding here before me Is an ugly naked truth I know no more than a drunkard In a circus dunk-tank booth The balls come flying one-two-three In and down I go The people retch in laughter While I scream out for more Now I'm dry electric shock I watch the sky like a broken clock I tie my plastic lace and then I Go back to my walk Stuttering for coffee or A comforting brush Across the backs of both my knees Mother sings to hush. Make a castle to the sky In honnor of a man like sand, Who'll wass away in time and he will Ne'er be here again Oh, my little life worn out On the goddamn road I live to breath more than believe A reason for this load e|-7---5---0-------|-0-3-2-5---3-----| B|-------------0---|----------0------| G|---0---0---0---0-|-----2-----------| D|-5---4-----------|-----0-----------| A|---------3---2---|-3---------------| E|-----------------|---------3-------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ************************************ | / slide up | h hammer-on | p pull-off ************************************
