Black Monday Tab

by Lowest Of The Low


hey guys, on the Am in the intro, you will want to hammer
on the 2nd fret on the fourth string. Listen to the song
and figure out the strum pattern. The harmonica solo's
should be easy to figure out, they use the same chords 
as you see in the song. hope you like it.

Capo Fret 3
 
Intro:
          
        

Verse 1:
                  
Black Monday is coming around again
                                      
And it feels like a friend that just won't take a hint
                     
'Cause it's hanging me up
                 
And it's hanging around
                                        
And I'm feeling far too lost to feel too profound
                                       
When the tone of my voice is the loneliest sound
                               
My heroes have all become pathetic clowns
                                       
And I'm feeling far too lost to feel too profound

 Verse 2:
                            
My friend Kate, you laugh like a tidal wave
                                              
But "Charlie don't surf" on your laughter on Black Mondays
                                      
And the shadows I feel are the shadows in me

                                     
And not even your face or your beautiful smile
                                                 
Or the curve of your breasts or your laughing bright eyes
                                 
Could make me believe I'm a winner tonight
                               
When Monday morning is just out of sight

Bridge: 
       
I know a story
                       
About a man who couldn’t see past his fingertips
               
To reach out and touch it
                        
Was just too much like he needs it

           
And I know a woman                                            
                                                        
Who reached out to me and all she got were my barbed-wire hands
                   
And I won't be too proud
                                          
If she can't depend on me when Black Monday starts coming around

Verse 3:
                           
My friend Kate, you are sad and beautiful
                               
And the way I am has never been too good for us
                                              
'Cause I'm too blind to hear, and I'm too deaf to see

                                            
But I still have a voice that can call out your name
                                       
With a gut full of beer and a head full of pain
                                 
I can lie in your arms and be lovers again
                                        
And thank God Tuesday morning is just hours away 

Outro:
                         
Do you know, I won't let you down? 
                        
Rest your head when I come around
                          
Do you know, you can count on me?
                           
Laugh out loud, I see what you see
