	           Friends and Family- Golden Shoulders
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard 

Ok, this is my first tab so go easy.  It's a fun-sounding and easy song from a
great unknown band, so chances are no one sees this anyway.  I didn't tab the
slide part, still figuring that out.  Anyway, this is just the chords.  Listen to
the song.

Intro:

Hit a B, then hammer on and pull off the 7th and 8th frets on the G string.
For the beginning of the vocals (before the drums kick in), you can basically
just slide up and down from A to B and back, 
hitting each chord.  For the A-Bb-Bb-B part, it's the same.  
Listen to the record for timing and whatnot.

                                                                           
All my friends and my family are remarkable people, they are nothing like the 
                   -
creeps in this town.
--                                                    
There is time still ahead of me, the last among equals, I am keeping both my 
                   ---
ears to the ground.

The slide riff plays over this, but like I said, not yet tabbed.
      
      

                       
There is a feeling I've been getting
                                           
That I have earned the town and state that I am in
                                             
I cannot leave, my feet will stop me from stepping
                                             
I'd kiss the ground but I don't know where it has been

                  
  Oh no, there are reasons but I can't explain
                      
  Well I can but not to you.
               
  Oh I'm getting better at the waiting game
                  
  And I don't wanna lose.

      
      
                         
We are the products of circumstances
                                     
And we reflect the sort of people we have known.
                                     
Whether by blood or by extended olive branches
                                     
All these people have determined how we've grown.

                                                                
And I said very tactfully there's a mineshaft and a steeple and the otherwise
                        -
indifferent middle ground.

All my friends and my family are remarkable people, they are nothing like the
                   ---
creeps in this town


Comments-wise, be brutal but not too brutal.  This is a band that I just want to
see get more recognition, so there you go.
