Lame Tab

by Seven Mary Three




Band: 7 Mary 3
Song: Lame
Album: American Standard
Tuning: Normal - No Capo


This song has a pretty basic strum pattern, in the intro and verses
it's essentialy 4 downstrokes on the lower strings with a quick upstroke
at the end of each measure.  All the other parts have full strums with
some neat rhythm (a little hammer-on the C sometimes).  Listen to it,
you'll know what I mean.

Lame:
Intro:  G  B*  A* (play 2 times)

                   *         *
There's a tall, mulatto, boy I know
                      *         *
And he comes to every party - he stands alone.
                               *                  *
In viewing them the rest, the 'corner of his glance, it gets so clear
              *      *  *  *
He's not, judging anyone.

                *                *
The way his arms float around his cage, he's caged
                             *    *
Canary sings, silently brings, his voice to rage.
                                *
The way they stop and stare, the way they turn their
                 *
    heads, it's enough to make him want to run away,

                 *        *       *  *
But he stays, he stands his ground.


(Chorus)
                    *
And I'm, I'm so damn lame.
                         *      *
The way I condescend without ever knowing his name.
                     
He keeps it in a box, hangs it from his ear
     *
    Looks at everyone without the slightest fear.
             *      *
It's makin' me    so ashamed.

  *  * (play 2 times)

                     *         *
Slender body, slip through his glance.
             *            *
I don't give it a single chance.
    
The way he's rocking back and forth,
  *
makes a buzzin' in my ear,
   *
Constantly reminding me that I never stop to hear
         *      *  *  *
him say hello, hello.


(Chorus 2)
                    *
And I'm, I'm so damn lame.
                      *           *
Like a moth bumpin' off his godless flame.
                                      *
I cannot condescend or even apprehend, what comes over me

               *       *
When I see his shameless face.
    *         DaddB    *       *
So rage, please rage, against me
         *          DaddB  *         *
Beat me down, beat me down,  forgive me,
               *         DaddB         *           *
For what I've done, I'm so lame, I'm so lame, I'm so lame
  *     DaddB     *  *  *
So lame, so  lame, so       lame.
