1974 Tab

by Alanis Morissette


I have done the hard part for the song, you can play it easy, every tab is correct i 
this is how my band plays the song. We have played over 3000 songs together and have never 
a bad tab. I have many other tabs on the site, or soon to come! Check them out!


key: CC               ]
I was born in 1974
                       
on a calm meticulous street
                  
someplace in the sun
                  
oh the air was sweet
                    
and enough lights sprang sparks
                            
through the window of the room
                           
not as raw to a ridiculous tune
                                     
slightly out of key in the mother hour

              
So leave me alone
                  
I'm busy breaking bones

               
I was born in 1974
                        
in a breached feet-first way
                    
my twin opened the door
                          
my very first dose of chivalry
                                  
I was dawned princess potential potent
                               
with gold star and matching impression
                  
big between two doors
                                        
small and loved and proud and unthreatened

              
So leave me alone
                  
I'm busy breaking bones


I bet you were strong
                          
when you should have been weak
                          
like a dam that wanted to break
                    
I wish I were the stones
                        
your river learned to roam
               
in whispering gaze

                                        
You were told in a kind North Carolinian way
                               
to slow down, back up, or be hated
                  
thank god you did not
                   
and thank god you did
                 
an angel either way

             
So leave us alone
                  
We're busy being grown
