Cannonball Tab

by Damien Rice


ok so ive seen a lot of others tabs of this song, but i was taught this way and i think 
sounds better. :) Its preatty simple, the strumming patters are a little tricky so ill 
my best to notate it:
8 beats per "line"

Chord                      
beat   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8

otherwise just listen to the song, its easy enough to pick up.

capo 3rd Frett

all chords relative to capo.
word.
FOr people who dont think theres a difference between the real F- the bar chord (133211) 
the cheats F- Fmaj7 (xx3210) you're all wrong. theres a big difference.
and yes. theres also a difference between c (32010) and Cadd9 (32033).
as for the rest:
- (x02210)
- (xx0231)
- (320033)


listen to song for pattern :)

into:     x3, ,  (same 
as verses)
VERSE 1:
                              
Still a little bit your tastes in my mouth
                                 
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
                        
its still a little hard to say
                      
hard to say whats going on

Verse 2:

                                          
there’s still a little bit of your ghost your weakness
                                      
there’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
                            
you step a little closer each day
                          
and I can´t see what´s going on

Chorus:
               
stones taught me to fly
                 
love, it taught me to lie
                 
life, it taught me to die
            
so it's not hard to fall
         
when you float like a cannonball

fill:     x3, ,  (same 
as verse)

Verse 3:

                                       
there’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
                                        
there’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
                         
you step a little closer to me
                                          
so close that I can´t see what´s going on

Chorus 2:

               
stones taught me to fly
                 
love, it taught me to lie
                 
life, it taught me to die
            
so it's not hard to fall
         
when you float like a cannon..

               
stones taught me to fly
                 
and love taught me to cry
           
so come on courage
               
teach me to be shy
               
cause it's not hard to fall
      
and i don't wanna scare her
         
it's not hard to fall
      
and i don't wanna lose
         
it's not hard to grow
                             ()
when you know that you just don't know

coda: , , ,  x3   (same 
verses)
end with an Am strum
