Artist: Aunt Martha
Capo 3rd or 4th Fret to play with various live performances
Listen to the song to find a strumming pattern that works for solo play.
You can leave the e and B strings open if you want
You can also hammer on the A and D strings for the G and C chords, respectively.
[C] [G] [C] [G]
[C]Hung my head when I heard the sound
[G]I drove straight back to the burial ground
[C]I saw you there, you were singing out [G]loud
Was the [C]same old song that you used to sing
When you [G]made your bed right next to me
And I l[C]oved you then, I still do [G]now
Was a [C]gray-blue grave and a short red dress
I [G]knew you well, it suits you best
Where [C]have you been for the past five [G]years?
[C]The last I heard is you took some time
[G]You drove straight down the 405
And we [Em]both know why you[C] left me [G]here
But [Em]oh, how [C]things have [G]changed
[Em]Now I [C]act my [G]age
And [Em]you are [C]older, [G]too
So [Em]why not [C]see this [G]through?
'Cause you're [Em]fast asleep and you [C]choose to be
[G]Head in the water, you won't find another like[Em] me
And every morning when you [C]call his name
You'll [G]think about another, think about another
Just [Em]say, just [C]say[G] ---[Could be "Just say, just sayYY yeah"]
Just [Em]say, just [C]say[G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
And I [C]had you come for a midnight drink
And you [G]left your things by the kitchen sink
Your [Em]pocketbook, can't you s[G]tay?
And q[C]uit your job that you hate so much
We'll [G]both get by, we'll both make love
But you're [Em]here tonight, anyw[G]ay ---[I think it is actually "And" instead of "But," but I think the latter
sounds better]
But [Em]oh, how [C]things have [G]changed
[Em]Now I [C]act my [G]age
And [Em]you are [C]older, [G]too
So [Em]why not [C]see this [G]through?
'Cause you're [Em]fast asleep and you [C]choose to be
Got your [G]head in the water cause you won't find another like [Em]me
And every morning when you [C]call his name
You'll [G]think about another, (oh you'll) think about another
Just [Em]say, just [C]say[G]
Just [Em]say, just [C]say[G]
[Em] [C] [G]
[Em] [C] [G]
[Em] [C] [G]

[G]head in the water cause you won't find another like [Em]me

[G]Think about another, think about another
Just [Em]say, just [C]say[G]
Just [Em]say, just [C]say[G]
Just [Em]say, just [C]say[G]
Just [Em]say, just [C]say[G]
