This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Fool By Hootie and the Blowfish

(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)

(my hootie page http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~mcallist/)

Intro: G-D (with riff A, two times)

(verse)

G (**)

Saw you last night

Fmaj7

You were sleeping in my mind

G Fmaj7

Doubting you'll ever be free again

G

Then I climbed back inside

Fmaj7

Someone open my eyes

G

To find me drunk again

Fmaj7

Bonnie on the radio, and she was singing low

G (add Riff B)

"Give it up or let me go"

G

Every night there is one more

Fmaj7

Every night there is two more

G

Saying I shouldn't be feeling this pain

Fmaj7

I think I better grow up now or go insane

(chorus)

C D

There's so much I feel

G D/F# Em

So much I conceal

C D

There's just so many things I can be

(verse)

Someone write the story of 5 points

No one wanted to know me

Now they all have opinions of what we do

So they go down to Bar None so we can have a drink or two

Can't write a story from the trees

I know somewhere she's watching me

Saying "Boy carry your load"

Oh I don't want to go back on the road now

(chorus twice)

There's so much I feel

So much I conceal

There's just so many places to see

And faces I can read

C D

There's just so many things I can be

(play intro to end)
