Understanding Tab

by Bob Seger


Understanding by Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band

This song was previously unreleased by Bob Seger until the 2003 release of the Greatest 
2 album.  It's from the motion picture "Teachers"

The words are correct and the chords, well, as far as I can tell, are good, well, maybe ok?
But hey, knock yourself out! It's a good, easy song any schlub can sing and belt out on 
string!

Standard tuning.

Intro- Slowly drop your pick down on an A chord, strumming only the A,D,G,B strings, 
strum a 4 count beat on chords A(4 beats) D(4) A(3) D(1) A(1)
D(1) A(1) D(1) E(6) D(3) and A.  This is also the chord progression throughout the 
of the song.
The chords of the song are:





                             
It seems like only yesterday
                    
I didn't have a clue
                                          
I stood alone not knowing where to turn
                         
Now suddenly I look around
                      
And everything looks new
                                                  
I don't know why, but I think I'm starting to learn
                 
They call it understanding
                  
A willingness to grow
                         
I'm finally understanding
                             
There's so much I can know
                              
Until the day you came along
                        
I used to just get lost
                                         
I only heard the things I wanted to hear
                                     
It always seemed like no one cared
                           
But then you took the time
                                                
And now I look and everything seems so clear
                        
You've got me understanding
                        
You've really helped me see

I'm finally understanding
                      
It's meant so much to me

You've got  me understanding
                       
You've given me some pride

I'm finally understanding
                                              
You're really on my side,  you're really on my side
                
Yeah, yeah
                   
You've got me understanding
