Way We Get By Tab

by Spoon


Well no one seems to be getting the chords on this right, so I might as well try to
fix things. I've studied a bunch of chord theory, so I think this is just about right.



                        
We get high in backseats of cars
                    
We break into mobile homes
                       
We go to sleep to shake up you
                       
And then wake up on our own


CHORUS
                        
And that's the way we get by to
         
Way we get by
                        
Aw that's, the way we get by to
         
Way we get by


                   
We go out in stormy weather
                   
We rarely practice discern
                         
We make love to some with sin
               
We seek out the taciturn

CHORUS

                     
And that's the way we get by
                
That's the way we get by

                               
We found a new kinda dance in a magazine
                                   
Try it on, it's like nothin' you've ever seen
                                  
You sweet talk like a cop, an' you know it

You bought a new bag of pot

So let's make a new start

CHORUS

                        
And that's the way we get by
                  
That's the way we get by

We get high in backseats of cars
                   
We put faith in our concerns
                        
Fall in love to down the streak
                       
We believe in the sum of ourselves

                        
And that's the way we get by to
       
Way we get by
                        
Aw that's the way we get by to
       
Way we get by
                         
And that's the way we get by to
       
Way we get by to
Way

                      
And that's the way we get by
                     
That's the way we get by 


I rate this tab as a novice tab because all of these chords should be fairly
straightforward. The only chords that might be slightly confusing are Fmaj7
and the chords that have a slash between two letters (i.e. Am/G). A major 7
chord is fairly easy to figure out, you basically take a 7 chord and play the
7th up a half step. And the root chords (Am/G) are about as straightforward as
they get. If you're playing guitar, just play the first chord (Am). If you're
playing piano, play some form of the first chord in your right hand and some
form of the second in your left (octaves and fifths work best). And lastly,
if you're playing bass, play the second chord listed (G).
