My Tiger My Heart Tab

by The Boy Least Likely To


Props to Robert Leyland for doing the original tab, but the chords are a bit off.
Here's the revised and correct version.

Standard Tuning

Intro: Hold G chord and play bottom and top string alternately 6 times starting and
ending on the bass note.

             
As sweet as a plum            (Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.
                                It's quite easy to catch onto.)   
             
And lovely as dawn

                          
Rolling its tongue over its gums

              
Like tiger and me

                 
As happy as could be

              
Sat out on the porch

                  
As the whole of the sky
               
Clouds quietly over

                
And it starts to cry

               
Softly on my shoulder

                    
We don't want to grow up

                  
But we have to grow up

           
As sad as I am

         
I do understand

         
I do understand,

                 
It just makes me sad


           
My tiger my heart

              
We're growing apart

                   
We're trying to be friends

                 
But it's hard sometimes

                 
To be friends with something

           
That eats butterflies

         
And pencil sharpeners

                   
And i think it would be

            
Happier being free

           
My tiger my friend

            
My little godsend

                                (let ring)
I know someday we'll be happy again
