Artist: Willy Mason Track: Just a Fly Album: Where The Humans Eat Date: 20th May 2005 Tabbed by: Hosho & The_ashtraygirl Special Thanks to The_ashtraygirl who provided a starting point for me. Her tab is right next to mine if you wanna take a look. ^^ I'm not certain this is right I'm afraid, but it's as close as I can get. The major difference between this version and the_ashtraygirl's, aside from the strum patter (which you really, REALLY should get from the track as i've almost certainly got it wrong) is the G chord, which I'm playing in E shape barred at the 3rd fret. That seems to make the chorus make more sense. Corrections are welcomed. Chords Used =========== C Am G Dm7(?) Cmaj7 e|-0-|-0-|-3-| |-----|--0--| b|-1-|-1-|-3-| |--3--|--0--| G|-0-|-2-|-4-| |--0--|--0--| D|-2-|-2-|-5-| |--3--|--2--| A|-3-|-0-|-5-| |--5--|--3--| E|---|---|-3-| |-----|-----| Intro/Verse =========== for the 4th bar just play our G chord, lift your pinky finger for the 3rd beat, hit the note with your thumb then pull everything off, thumb open D and hammer your middle to the 2nd fret, then start right over again. C Am G (see above) e|-------0---0-----|-------0---0-----|-----------------|------------------| b|-------1---1---1-|-------1---1---1-|-------3---3-----|-------3----------| G|---0---0---0---0-|---2---2---2---2-|-------4---4---4-|-------4----------| D|-----------------|-----------------|---5---5---5---5-|---5---5---3---0h2| A|-3-------3-------|-0-------0-------|-----------------|------------------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-3-------3-------|-3---3---3---3----| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 ============================================================= Lyrics/Chords below taken directly from the_ashtraygirl's tab ============================================================= C That's alright, that's okay Am I can wait, you're still a fly G Eating through, trying to live within the space you're in C But still, you're just a kid Am G You shouldn't read Dostoevsky at your age C That and nicotine will make you pale and lean Am And twist your face like Mr. Grays G Though it just manifests in paintings that you make C Or else your eyes will stay the same Am G Are you that hungry for a change? Chorus ====== First off, the last bar of the Verse will change slightly going into the chorus. New tab as follows. (this is why you're playing a barred G instead of the usual G shape.) G e|-----------------| b|-------3---------| G|-------4---------| D|---5---5---3-----| A|---------------5-| E|-3---3---3---3---| And the actual chorus. (not sure how to denote this in tab, basically a slide in between listen to the track if you're not sure what i mean) Occasionally towards the end Willy the chorus just a little by hammering onto the 1st fret on the B string during the 2nd bar in the sequence, worth a try if you want to spice things up a little. e|-----------------|----------------| b|-----------------|----------------| G|-----0-----0-----|----0-----0-----| D|---3-----3-------|--2-----2-----2-| A|-5-----5-----5--5>3-----3-----3---| E|-----------------|----------------| You're.. Dm7 You're waking up Cmaj7 You're flying out Dm7 The door has sprung loose Cmaj7 Don't forget me The "I wrote this to annoy Hosho" bit at the end ================================================ I swear Willy only put this part in to make my job more difficult.. ^.^; Em F#m e|-----------------|----------------| b|-----------------|----------------| G|-----------------|----------------| D|---2---2---2---4-|---4---4---4----| A|-----------------|----------------| E|-0---0---0---0---|-2---2---2---2--| G e|-----------------|----------------| b|-----------------|----------------| G|-----------------|----------------| D|---5---5---5---5-|---5---5---5----| A|-----------------|----------------| E|-3---3---3---3---|-3---3---3---3--| Then it came and rained on.. Then it came and rained on down, from the sky and onto my head I tried to think but it was too fast, so I just said anything that came (at last) Play the chorus one last time and yer done.
