What Do We Do Now Tab

by John Hiatt


A very simple 3 chord song by John Hiatt but a really really
nice song.  From the CD "Crossing Muddy Waters".  My first tab
so I wanted to do an easy one.  This is a perfect song for
those just starting with guitar.  Listen to the CD, it's a
fairly easy melody to sing.  Pure John Hiatt...simple yet
meaningful.

What do we do now 

                            
When it's lying there with a busted heart
                                 
Like a piece of glass where do you start
                          
Do we pick it up or say goodbye
                               
Is there one tear left for us to cry

What do we do now

                            
What if I can't stay what if you can't stay
                                      
What if I can't leave what if you can't leave 
                        
What if I believed every word you say
                         
What if you believed until today
                              
Do we call the kids or call the cops
                                 
Can you hold me 'till this howling stops

What do we do now

                          
Gimme back my steel, gimme back my nerve
                                     
Gimme back my youth for the dead man's curve
                          
For that icy feel when you start to swerve
                             
Give us back the love we don't deserve
                                  
'cause we rode it long, we drove it hard
                           
And we wrecked it in our own backyard
