A Sadness Runs Through Him Tab

by The Hoosiers


I think this is correct, I just started playing it with the song.  Sounds good to
me.  The strumming pattern is down, up, up for each chord.



Intro                       

                                                  
People are puppets, held together with string.
                                         
There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him,
                                                                   
as he asked me to pray to the god he doesn't believe in.


                                        
Time and again boys race to be men: 
                                     
impatient they start, fearful at end.
                                         
But here was a man mourning tomorrow.
                                          
He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow.


                                  
He could not break surface tension.
                                             
He looked in the wrong place for redemption.
                                 
Don't look at me with those eyes;
                  
i tried to anaethetize:
                                  
turn back the time that drew him.
                                                                               
But he couldn't be saved: a sadness runs through him,    through him.


                                        
Time and again boys race to be men:

But here was a man mourning tomorrow.

But he couldn't be saved: a sadness runs through him,    through him.

                                  
Don't look...Don't look................Don't...Don't


                                 
Don't look at me with those eyes;
                  
i tried to anaethetize:
                                  
turn back the time that drew him.
                                                            
But he couldn't be saved, no, he couldn't be saved:


                           
sadness runs through him,
                          
sadness runs through him
                          
sadness runs through him
                          
sadness runs through him
                           
sadness runs through him
