Take Me Tab

by Edwin Mccain




This is from "Misguided Roses" track no. 9.  It's sort of a bluesy twist
on "3 AM."

                      (464444)
I pull my boots off,
                            (242222)
Throw my weapon on    the floor
                   (464444)
I cry my eyes out
                           (242222)
In my private little war
         
Well it seems I've been a soldier
         (464444)
Heaven knows I've been no saint
           
With my camouflage and armor
      (242222)
Cold heart and grease paint
    
To you this has no meaning
     (464444)
The armistice laid down
     
The armies all are quiet
        (242222)
And the guns don't make a sound, 'cause you..

CHORUS
                             
   You melted the steel walls, tore down the bobwire
                           (002100)
   filled in the trenches, demanded a ceasefire
                         
   And now you're leavin', there's nothin' I can do
                          (002100)
   I want you to know, you're gonna take me with you

2nd Verse
Well now feel the match on suicide in the foxhole of my mind
and way off in the distance, the air raid sirens whine
and they sing your song of rescue, to my tattered worn out shell
you drag me to your safety, from this my front line hill

CHORUS

(bridge)
                                             
  The blood that was spilled in the heartache before
                                                        
  Left on massive scars, that I never, never could ignore to you

CHORUS(acoustic only)

Fade off playing chorus part--sing "Doot dooo doot dooo doot"
