Dumb Poet - by Immaculate Fools
Tabbed by: Phillip C. Hayes [email protected]
Good song, arguably one of the easiest on the whole 'Dumb Poet' album to tab. Easy for a beginner guitar player, in that it helps teach moving from one chord to another especially on the Chorus, instead of those drab CD guitar lessons that have you playing one chord for 80 measures and calling that progress. As always, improvements are always welcome! ENJOY!
Intro:
[Cmaj7] [C]
[Cadd9] [C] [Cmaj7]
Main Chords:
[Em]Em [G]G [D]C [C]D (2x)
[Em]How do you keep up with y[G]our thoughts
[D]When they run through you like a tr[C]ain
[Em]How do you catch t[G]hem
[C]Slow them down again[D]
[C]I tried to r[D]each you
[G]But you would not come down[D]
[G]You always fail i[Am]n honest[C]y
[G]You always turn t[Am]hings around[C]
[G]Dumb [Am] poe[C]t, d[Em]umb po[D]et
[Em]Come on give me an answer[G]
[D]Let's frame it on the[C] wall
[Em]Let's all stand back and admire i[G]t
[C]Never let it [D]fall
[C]That thin thread of hope[D]
[G]Is sometimes all that we have[D]
[G]So give me back m[Am]y innocence[C]
[G]That's all [Am]I eve[C]r had
[G]Dumb [Am] poe[C]t, d[Em]umb po[D]et
[Em]I won't kiss yo[G]ur tears
[D]Or keep you here w[C]ith me
[Em]I will never fa[G]lter
[C]I will be outs[D]ide
[C]I will make this[D] promise
[G]I will never come d[D]own
[G]If looks could ki[Am]ll, I'm[C] ten times dead
[G]But there's no t[Am]ime for that now[C]
[G]Dumb [Am] poe[C]t, d[Em]umb po[D]et (repeat 4x)
[Cadd9]That's all I'll ever be
(intro chords to the end)
