Know Who You Are

Slade
Bass Tab

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

Lyrics

Know who you are

Know where you're going to

Just take a look at the things

That make up a good living

Tied off your socks

Trying your father's on

Run round the world taking all

That you want you can carry

Know where you are

And where you've been

And where you're going to

'H' old 'H' sing a song

Maybe you're wrong

Finding a new way out

Trying to work out a way

To include one another

Think what you are

Think where you're going to

'H' sing a song to make out

That you're playing is easy

Know where you are

And where you've been

And where you're going to

'H' old 'H' sing a song

Know who you are

Know where you're going to

Read a new book

Finish the other one

Right from the start try and

Work out the finishing answer
