Im going to have to dig the best of cd out to remember this one. It reminds me also to have another bash at Fishermans blues which is such a classic.]]> Easy Songs jase36 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/all-the-things-she-gave-me-waterboys/#post-281765 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/all-the-things-she-gave-me-waterboys/#post-30370 Tue, 19 Feb 2008 18:25:58 +0000 Not a single tab for this one on the net either

Suddenly I felt an urge to sing it :roll: :lol:
So I just had to transcribe it.
I haven't worked a lot on it - but this should be roughly right - corrections are very welcome.

The same four chords go throughout most of the song. One bar with , one bar with
The only hard part about it (OK - there is one barre chord too) is syncing the chords to the lyrics. If you know the song it should be possible. I've tried to write it as clear as possible below:

And here - All the chords I give you:
am x02210
D (Ok you know this one) x00232
C x32010
em7/B x20030
F 133211 or x33211
G 320003

I saw the watchman he was blowing into Cupped hands as he walked to the car He said "Where do you think you're drivin' to, Son?

Chorus: C F All the things that she gave me D where do I put them? G Where can I hide them C F All the things that she gave me D where do I put them? G where I won't have to see them?" (Back to verse progression) (Instrumental) It's dark as hell here this city's grown cold The devil's in drag playing poker with souls The lots are all empty the last man is out The moon's made of cheese and God is a boy scout When I go to sleep I'll be dreaming about All the things... Then I'll dream about churches with great tall spires Cathedrals and candles chimneys and choirs I'll dream about THAT place Where I set fire all the things All the things that she...
