One of my favorite songs that I've been playing for years but have never seen a tab for
on the internet...
When I post this tab, the chords don't line up with the words anymore, and quite frankly
I'm not going to fuck around with it and fix it. you can figure it out.
This tab isn't perfect but I was hoping to just throw it up and see if people add to it.
INTRO
Once I was younger than
The youngest of fragile minds
I ate the day with bad manners
Then spit out the rind
And mother, mother told me
As I looked to the sky
Yes my mother told me, "my dear son,
You're not the one"
I flew home when I was just 21
Young enough to be the father of someone
I've got a conch pissed with conch republic rum
My father by my side, teary-eyed, he said:
"Son, by God, what I could have done,
And you're just like me
You can, really put 'em down
If I was in your place, I'd stay, have fun"
But I'm not the one
Now I'm sittin' here
Haggling over sums
Money made by someone else
To me, it don't belong
I toss a smile to the mighty boss
He's my God
But I'm a bit backwards
And I know he's just a fuckin' dog
And mother, mother told me,
As I looked to the sky
Yes my mother told me my dear son
"You're not the one"
"you're not the one"
You're not the one"
You're not the one"
