Dumb Poet

Dumb Poet - by Immaculate Fools

Tabbed by: Phillip C. Hayes phayes1336@aol.com

Good song, arguably one of the easiest on the whole ‘Dumb Poet’ album to tab. Easy for a

guitar player, in that it helps teach moving from one chord to another especially on

Chorus, instead of those drab CD guitar lessons that have you playing one chord for 80

and calling that progress. As always, improvements are always welcome! ENJOY!

Intro:

Main Chords:

How do you keep up with your thoughts

When they run through you like a train

How do you catch them

Slow them down again

I tried to reach you

But you would not come down

You always fail in honesty

You always turn things around

Dumb poet, dumb poet

Come on give me an answer

Let’s frame it on the wall

Let’s all stand back and admire it

Never let it fall

That thin thread of hope

Is sometimes all that we have

So give me back my innocence

That’s all I ever had

Dumb poet, dumb poet

I won’t kiss your tears

Or keep you here with me

I will never falter

I will be outside

I will make this promise

I will never come down

If looks could kill, I’m ten times dead

But there’s no time for that now

Dumb poet, dumb poet (repeat 4x)

That’s all I’ll ever be
