My apologies to Ian MacNaughtan - I couldn't find your email address to send you these corrections. I pretty much just fixed the lyrics. The tabs were fine...
This is a great song by the Hip. Never recorded, circa 1989-1990.
Intro. A - B - A - B - C - A - G - D - E.
Verse one:
C D G D C D G D What's the deal with your dad? He don't even know my name. C D G C Didn't know he’d been back, Didn't know he’d been mad, D No one stayed to share the blame.
C D G D C D G D I didn't mean to do that. She won't even come around. C D G C D Everytime I look back, Didn't realize that, I was better off than now
Chorus: G D C G D A C Mothers came and cried for Abel. Brother Cain survived the century's end. G D A E G A E All the time that I thought was my friend, Be all right till we get back again.
Verse two:
Heaven knows you all right, and they will never drag you down.
There ain’t time to lose sight. Getting lost in the light
Is more that never being found.
Chorus:
Mothers came and cried for Abel. Brother Cain survived the century's end.
All the time that I thought was my friend, Be all right till we get back again.
Bridge:
C D G D C I never could go back, and I could never leave my home. C D Why’d they change a face like that? G C G C G C D If I'd never seen ya, I could always dream that I'd be better off alone.
Chorus:
Mothers came and cried for Abel. Brother Cain survived the century's end.
All the time that I thought was my friend, Be all right till we get back again.
G A E Be all right till we get back again. G A E Be all right till we get back again.
