Dumb Poet - by Immaculate Fools
Good song, arguably one of the easiest on the whole ‘Dumb Poet’ album to tab. Easy for a
guitar player, in that it helps teach moving from one chord to another especially on
Chorus, instead of those drab CD guitar lessons that have you playing one chord for 80
and calling that progress. As always, improvements are always welcome! ENJOY!
Intro:
Main Chords:
(2x)
How do you keep up with your thoughts
When they run through you like a train
How do you catch them
Slow them down again
I tried to reach you
But you would not come down
You always fail in honesty
You always turn things around
Dumb poet, dumb poet
Come on give me an answer
Let’s frame it on the wall
Let’s all stand back and admire it
Never let it fall
That thin thread of hope
Is sometimes all that we have
So give me back my innocence
That’s all I ever had
Dumb poet, dumb poet
I won’t kiss your tears
Or keep you here with me
I will never falter
I will be outside
I will make this promise
I will never come down
If looks could kill, I’m ten times dead
But there’s no time for that now
Dumb poet, dumb poet (repeat 4x)
That’s all I’ll ever be
