                     I WILL NEVER FORGET - Kimya Dawson
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my first tab. There was no tab for this song so I had to put it up.
It may not be exact, but most of the chords are right and it sounds good.
So, enjoy.


Tuning: EADGBE (Standard)

                        
I sat in the swamp with a little pink piggy
                            
who loved roller-skating and playing pretend
                           
The boy that she loved was a real snackmaster
                              
the world was a beach ball and we were all friends

                         
Then he died alone and the last time I saw her
                             
it looked like the reaper had rapped on her door
                                                 
She said "do you remember singing ice ice baby with me
                   
laying down on the reef bathroom floor?"


                                        
How could I ever forget? I could never forget
                
I will never forget
                                        
How could I ever forget? I could never forget
                
I will never forget


                    
Jimmy and Johnny just stare at each other
                               
while their mother hangs in the holiday inn
                   
Your funeral on your son's seventh birthday
                            
is the worst thing you could ever give him

                       
I bet he'd like flowers, balloons, and a card
                              
"unconditionally yours, all my love, from your mom"
                          
much more than wearing that little black suit
                     
and saying goodbye forever to you


(Listen to the song to play this part. The A might be Asus2)

I haven't forgotten the times that I teased you
                         
and everyone else pointed at you and laughed
                   
Permanent damage was not my intention
                                     
but I could not foresee the aftermath 
              
of my actions

                
I was so small
                                       
Wanted to grow in the eyes of my enemies
                  
For awhile I felt tall
                                              
but they knocked me back down now I'm here on my knees


                      
Looking at my face in a bed of pine needles
                       
and wondering if anyone still knows my name
                                         
I turned full circle and another half circle
                             
and tried to go back the same way that I came

                  
"Look alive Dawson, your heels are dragging
                   
I never knew anyone could move so slow
                        
You may be a hotshot now, but you are still a cow
                      
A big fat F, why don't you just go home?"

                            
I guess that that means I did not make the team
                                    
I'll just lay on the ground and look up at the trees
                      
The old Bedford oak the tall Evergreens
                          
This is not a joke this is not a dream

                                                  
Not sleeping just resting in pieces that I wish were peaches
               
I saw your dad later that day
                     
Maybe he shot himself, could've been someone else
                         
Asked me to tell you what he had to say
     
                             
"You don't have to end up with people who self destruct
                   
Go find a lover who will never leave
                   
Fear of abandonment, self hate, and discontent
                     
will go away when you let yourself grieve
                                     
and forget about me, forget about me, forget about me"


                                        
How could I ever forget? I could never forget
                
I will never forget
                                        
How could i ever forget? I could never forget
                
I will never forget

                                        
How could I ever forget? I could never forget
                
I will never forget
                                        
How could I ever forget? I could never forget
                
I will never forget
