Jump Rope Tab

by Blue October


Love this song, searched to find a tab and couldn't; so this is going to be my 
first attempt at a tab. If anyone wants to make corrections please feel free to 
do so. If you listen to the song and follow along it sounds ok. Enjoy!!!

Capo 1


Remember how you used to say
             
You couldn't wait till tomorrow for a brand new day

And no fuss when ya had to ride the bus
         
You just add a little blush 

To paralyze your school crush


Now you're older and the weight is on your shoulder
         
Make the world a little colder 

No more hide'n in the old day

Be strong

Don't give up hope 
            
It will get hard 

Life's like a jump rope


Up down 

Up down

Up down
        
Up down yeah  
                      
Cause it will get hard

Remember life's like a jump rope

Up down 

Up down

Up down
        
Up down yeah
            
It will get hard

Cause it will get hard

---


There'll be a bump and there will be a bruise

There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze

There'll be a path that you will have to choose

There'll be a win and there will be a lose and

You have to hold your head up high 

and Watch all the negative go by

Don't you ever be ashamed to cry
       
You go ahead

Cause life's like a jump rope


Up down 

Up down

Up down
        
Up down yeah  
                      
Cause it will get hard

Remember life's like a jump rope


Up down 

Up down

Up down
        
Up down yeah
            
It will get hard

Come on

                            
I want to tell you that everything will be okay
                                              
That everything will eventually turn itself to gold

So keep pushing through it all
      
Don't follow, lead the way
                                 (HOLD)   
Don't lose yourself or your hope............
N.
Cause life's like a jump rope


Up down 

Up down

Up down
        
Up down yeah  


You stomp your feet so hard you make it pound

Raise the bottom to the top

And now we're never coming down

Up down stomp your feet spin around

Clap hands to the rhythm

Then you slip down 

You stomp your feet so hard you make it pound

Raise the bottom to the top

And now we're never coming down

Up down 

Up down

Up down
        
Up down yeah  
                      
Cause it will get hard

Remember life's like a jump rope

Up down 

Up down

Up down
        
Up down yeah
            
It will get hard

Cause it will get hard

Up down 

Up down

Up down
        
Up down yeah 

Life's like a jump rope

Up down 

Up down

Up down
        
Up down yeah
     
Whoa oh 
Cause life's like a jump rope (END ON E)
