-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A SMART KID" off album "Stupid Dream" (1999) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Les Gibson Standard tuning Fantastic song this. The first tab on the site was lacking a lot of stuff, so I thought I'd do the whole thing with all the parts, from the album version of the song. --INTRO (two acoustic guitars)(0:20): Guitar 1 Am C G/B Am C G/B e|--------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| G|------2---------------0----------0----|------2--------------0----------0----| D|----2-----2---------2----------0----0-|----2----2---------2----------0------| A|-0-----------0-2-3-------0-0h2--------|-0----------0-2-3-------0-0h2------2-| E|--------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| F E e|-------------------| B|-------------------| G|-------------------| D|------3---------2--| A|----3---------2----| E|-1-------1-0-------| Guitar 1 Am C G/B Am C G/B e|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| G|------2---------------0----------0----|------2---------------0----------0----| D|----2-----2---------2----------0----0-|----2-----2---------2----------0------| A|-0-----------0-2-3-------0---2--------|-0-----------0-2-3-------0-0h2------2-| E|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| Guitar 2 | e|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| B|------1--0---0-1-3-0------------------|------1--0---0-1-3-0------------1-0---| G|------2----2--------------------------|-0h2--2----2------------------------0-| D|------2--------------------------0h2--|------2-------------------------------| A|------0-------------------------------|------0-------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| F E e|-------------------| B|-------------------| G|-------------------| D|------3---------2--| A|----3---------2----| E|-1-------1-0-------| | | e|-------------------| B|---0-----1-0-------| G|-2-----------------| D|-------------------| A|-------------------| E|-------------------| --Verses 1 and 2 (1:07): Intro parts play in verses Am C G/B Stranded here on planet earth Am C G/B It's not much but it could be worse F E Everything's free here, there's no crowds Am C G/B Winter lasted five long years Am C G/B No sun will come again I fear F E Chemical harvest was sown --Chorus (1:52): Strummed chords and electric guitar with tremolo effect: Dsus2 Am/C Fmaj7 Dsus2 Am/C Fmaj7 e|---0--------0---------------0--|---0--------0--------------0--| B|-----3--------3-------------3--|-----3--------3------------3--| G|-------------------------------|------------------------------| D|-0-----------------3-----------|-0-----------------3----------| A|----------3--------------------|---------3--------------------| E|-------------------------------|------------------------------| Dsus2 Am/C Fmaj7 Dsus2 Am/C Fmaj7 e|---0--------0---------------0--|---0--------0--------------0--| B|-----3--------3-------------3--|-----3--------3------------3--| G|-------------------------------|------------------------------| D|-0-----------------3-----------|-0-----------------3----------| A|----------3--------------------|---------3--------------------| E|-------------------------------|------------------------------| This is played underneath words: Dsus4 Am/C Fmaj7 And I will wait for you Dsus4 Am/C Fmaj7 Until the sky is blue Dsus4 Am/C Fmaj7 And I will wait for you Dsus4 Am/C Fmaj7 What else can I do? --Verses 3 and 4 (2:30): Same chords/guitar parts as verses 1 and 2.
