Song

From: Steve-o Bananafish
Tuning: DADGBE (that's dropped D)
Note: The solo guitar line is marked as being tuned EADGBE. It's a different
guitar. It doesn't really matter, however: since the solo line doesn't go
down to the 6th string, you can play both parts on the same guitar without
trouble.
Chords used: Em (222000), D (000232), G (550003), Bm (x44322)

Intro

   
Who will stand alone?

Verse 1

- She carried ribbons, she wore them out
Courage built a bridge, jealous tore it down
- At least it's something -- you've left behind
- Like Kohoutek, - you were gone
We sat in the garden, we stood on the porch
I won't deny myself, - we never talked 

Verse 2

- She wore bangles, she wore bells
On her toes and she jumped like a fish
- Like a flyin' friend -- you were gone
- Like Kohoutek, - can't forget that
Fever built a bridge, reason tore it down
If I am one to follow...

Bridge

Maybe you're not the problem scissors, paper, stone
If you stand and holler, these prayers will talk 

Verse 3

- She carried ribbons, she wore them out
- Michael built a bridge - Michael tore it down
- At least it's something -- you've left behind
- Like Kohoutek, - you were gone
Michael built a bridge, Michael tore it down
If I stand and holler, will I stand alone?
