Long Haired Child Tab

Couldnt believe no one had figured out the second part to this song yet! Play the Em and 
as barre chords on the 7th and 5th frets, then everything in the second part of the 
is just open chords.

Do it!

Mid-winters day, its cooold and I know for
                            
certain when I go outside my head starts hurtin
                        
Its a winters day, and I know for
                              
certain when I go outside my head starts hurtin
                             
So I wrap it up in materials to keep my
                     
head from gettin cold, Oh wrap it up in
            
materials to keep my head from gettin cold
                                    
nd I said tell my friends when they havekids
                                   
Ya I said tell my friends when they have kids


        
Im g'on want that child to be a long

haired child    x4


                   
Oh I go outside, and mingle in the snow
   
My head looks like a globe, aint no
                 
hair on it at all! Do I buy a wig?
                            
Should I grow my beeard, and comb it upwards
                          
and around my ears? Well I cant wait for
                    
the kids to come, I cant wait for the kids
                 
to come and say "Hey babe, you g'on know
                            
no barbershop."    'Cause I want...
         
yeah, I want... and I know for certain


Chorus


                                      
Itsno-sugar-beer (???), baby thats for sure
                           
when the storm hits my temple, I wanna
                        
rush home and put on the kettle now
                                
and warm my little brain and bald head
                                 
Im too cold to know if Im alive or dead

            
But when my baby slips out my mommas womb
        
When my baby slips out my mommas womb
            
We're gonna enter a new life, enter a new
                                
life thats for sure, Youre gonna enter
                                       
yourself back through your babys front door
           
Now if you want that baby to be a long haired
                
child, you g'on make that baby be a long
                       
haired child thats for sure,
                      
baby, baby, thats for sure.
