Note: This tab is really good, but it is flatpicked
so there are many more notes I didn?t include.
I only used the chord strums and the melody.

Capo 2

This song is really easier, fun, and deceptively repetitive.
In this song there is a chord strum and
then the melody is played on the higher strings.
This is a simplified but still right version.

Verse:




Chorus follows same chords as intro and is pretty much the same thing

More Notes:
-All measures are same length (4/4)
– First three bars of each intro line can be played at the
beginning of each verse line because the chords are the same
– song is flatpicked but a finger pick it
– chords are relative to capo

Well, I see you so far away
In my memory [E/G#]you will stay
There’s a good life, a right way to go
But sometimes[E/G#] I feel so low

If you wanna love me, wanna be my friend
Be one now, be one now
And you say you need me and you want to share
Darlin’, where’s your love? Darlin’, where?
Take a chance, you can’t play it safe
Trust your soul, you won’t lose your faith
Sometimes right but more times wrong
Wrong can turn out right they say
Just a different shade of gray

There’s a moonrise in an eastern sky
Clouds they try but cannot hide
And the storm will cease and the sun will shine
Roll away for all mankind

Take a chance, you can’t play it safe
Trust your soul, you won’t lose your faith
Sometimes right but more times wrong
Wrong can turn out right they say
Just a different shade of gray

There’s a way to a better life
Hesitate, you know you’ll pay the price
If you ever slip and fall
There’s a love here after all, a love here after al

It’s a new day, never mind the past
Lay it down ‘cause it won’t last
And you say you need me and you say you care
Where’s your love, darlin’? Oh, darlin’, where?

Take a chance, you can’t play it safe
Trust your soul, you won’t lose your faith
Sometimes right but more times wrong
Wrong can turn out right they say
Just a different shade of gray

Take a chance, you can’t play it safe
Trust your soul, you won’t lose your faith
Sometimes right but more times wrong
Wrong can turn out right they say
Just a different shade of gray

Came home last night wishin I could unwind
Turned on the news ya know, it blew my mind
Current affairs got me in a spin
People everywhere doin’ each other in
Fussin’ and fightin’ from dusk till dawn
Lyin’, stealin, wheelin’, dealin’, it just keeps rollin’ on
[G/F]Nothin but bad news [Am/E]and it'[G/D]s wearin’ kind of thin [Am/E]
[G/F]With every news situation se[Am/E]ems to[G/D] be a no win
It’s just business as usual
It’s just business as usual
Send in the funds, keep the faith alive
Without your checks how can we survive
We got cars in the yard, bills to pay
Crosses to bear, we got souls to save
Each and every day, people sittin’ round, a Sunday go to meetin’ town
T.V. prophets bringing on a judgement day
The rectory’s wrecked, the preacher’s funds are goin’ slowin’ down
Elders eyes see their good life slippin’ away
It’s just business as usual
It’s just business as usual

If it rings of truth throw it out the window
If you need any proof, it’s any way the wind blows
If you’re askin’ me, I’ll tell you that I don’t know
And so it goes, so it goes
And it’all goin’ down, on the outskirts of town
I saw it on the radio, in the heart of the village
It’s rape, plunder, and pillage
I got it off the press, so it must be so
It must be so
It’s just business as usual
It’s just business as usual
It’s just business as usual
It’s just business as usual

#
#
Standing by the ocean
Watch it tear away the shore
Glide out upon the desert
The horizon is the door
And though your voice is shouting
Above the wind it can’t be heard
Drop all sense of reason
It’s there you’ll find your worth
And though you are surrounded
Feeling quite alone
Dm A# C G D There’s a
light to guide you home

(chorus)
If you stand with your face
To the wind off the water
At the point of land’s end
Where the ocean begins
Look to the memory
Of the ones gone before
The light and the meaning of
The Voices on the Wind.

Searching for safe passage
As you knock on every door
You still can hear the howling
Of the mongrel dogs of war
You call out for some comfort
Seeking shelter from the night
A raging rain’s upon you
Feeling tired of the fight
And though you are surrounded
Feeling quite alone
There’s a light to guide you home

(chorus)

Their words carry over water
And fall back down to earth
What follows is the silence
As you contemplate their worth
A vision comes before you
But the meaning’s still unclear
Standing at the threshold
As you watch it disappear
And though you are surrounded
Feeling quite alone
There’s a light to guide you home

(chorus)

intro: E/Ab E/D C#m7 Cma7

[E/Ab] [E/D] [E/D]
I’ve been down but not like this before.

Can’t be round this kind of show no more.

All, all that you [E/D]dream, it comes through shining silver lining and

clouds, clouds change the [E/D]scene. Rain starts washing all love’s caution

Into your life and you start to realize just what is true
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/little_feat/all_that_you_dream_crd_ver_3.html )
What else can you[E/D] do? For you just follow the rules and keep your

eyes on the road that’s ahead of you.

I’ve been down but not like this before.

Can’t be round this kind of show no more.

All of the good, good times were[E/D] ours in the land of milk and honey and

time, time adds its [E/D]scars, rainy days they turn to sunny

ones, you’re living the life, living the life, loving every one

[E/Ab] [E/D] [E/Ab] [E/D]
[E/Ab] [E/D] [E/Ab] [E/D][E/D]

Sister, sister, she rides so easily

Like some sidewalk angel, like a sail out on the sea.

far out on my horizon she slips away from me.

Here with my momento and her air of mystery

One high-heeled stiletto, What did she ever mean to me?

A touch of nails of crimson from some vision in the

night slowly fading out of sight

I sure [Bb/F]hate to see her leaving

I sure [Bb/F]hate to see her go.

What will I [Bb/F]ever do without her? I just don’t know.[Gm+5]

She said we were in love last night. In love, with no last name.

Last night the fire was burning bright,

Now, I’m goin’ down, goin’ down in flames.

Sister, sister, did you ever feel the heat?

Your kisses fell so gently like the rain falls on the street.

I still feel the fire. I’ll never lose that memory

It’ll always be with me.

I sure h[Bb/F]ate to see her leaving

I sure [Bb/F]hate to see her go.

What will I [Bb/F]ever do without her? I just don’t know.[Gm+5]

She said we were in love last night. In love, with no last name.

So I let her build that fire so bright,

Now, I’m goin’ down, goin’ down in flames.[Gm+5]

We said we were in love last night. Caught up in our own games.

Last night I felt the fire so bright,

Now, I’m goin’ down, goin’ down[Gm+5]

She said we were in love last night. Now nothing seems the same.

So I let her build that fire so bright,

Now, we’re goin’ down, goin’ down in flames.

Heart don’t try so hard this time

[A/C#]Let her go; You know it’s done without a doubt.

Don’t fall back into that same “I’m all alone” and sit and pine

She’s [A/C#]just another thing that we can [D/E]learn to live without

We were caught up in that fiery [D/F#]passion of the moment

[G/A] Hoping that [G/A]love was here to stay

It looked like true romance, [D/F#]well worth taking a chance

[D/E]Ah, but then the love just slowly slipped away.

repeat intro

I let her changing heart and her dissatisfaction

[A/C#]Manifest itself in my confusion.

I was trying to make some sense of that volatile attraction when her

[A/C#]haughty disposition made me [D/E]lose my way.

I must admit I spent a [D/F#]fine short moment

[G/A]fighting to take control, not [G/A]willing to take that chance.

I thought I couldn’t let go. [D/F#] Sentimental fool, you know

[D/E]A casualty of big romance.

[A/C#] Heart, don’t try so hard this time.

There’s another lover [A/C#]waiting ’round a[D/E]nother paradigm.

These [A/C#]tears we cry are just a waste of water, don’t you know

We got to learn to see when [A/C#]something’s finally go[D/E]ne

and just let it go.

Seem like every time you find the [D/F#]real thing

[G/A] First thing you know, [G/A] picking yourself up off the floor

Seem like you just get started [D/F#] then you’re first-degree downhearted

[D/E] Next thing you hear is the slamming of the door

[A/C#] Heart, don’t try so hard this time.

There’s another lover w[A/C#]aiting ‘round a[D/E]nother paradigm.

These [A/C#]tears we cry are just a waste of water, don’t you know

We got to learn to see when [A/C#]something’s finally

Say good-bye and keep on walking

[A/C#] Don’t try so hard this time.

There’s another lover [A/C#]waiting ‘round a[D/E]nother paradigm.

These [A/C#]tears we cry are just a waste of water, don’t you know

We got to learn to [A/C#]see when something’s finally [D/E]gone

and just let it go.

Oh I am just [F/C]a vagabond,
a drifter on the run
And eloquent [F/C]profanity,
it rolls right off my tongue.
And I have dined [F/C]in palaces,
drunk wine with kings and queens

But Darlin’, oh Darlin’,
you’re the best thing I ever seen.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/little_feat/roll_um_easy_crd.html )
Won’t you roll me easy
oh slow and easy.
Take my independence,
with no appre[F/C]hension, no [C/]tension.
You’re a walking,talking dream in
paradise sweet paradise.

I’ve been across t[F/C]his country
from Denver to the ocean,
and I never m[F/C]et girls that could sing [F/C]so sweet
like the angels that live in Houston.
Singing roll me easy, so slow and easy
Play the concertina be a tem[/G7]ptress
and Baby I’m defenseless.
Singin’ [F/C]harmony
in [F/]uni--son
sweet [F/C]harmony
gotta hoist the flag
F C /F/C
and I’ll beat your drum.
