Autobiography - Sloan Tabbed by Adam Bishop Actually the chords were done by Mark Wiebe; I just found them, and added the tabs. Em - 022000 A - x02220 C - x32010 G - 320033 F# - 244322 Bm - x24432 E - 022100 G/B - x2003x D - xx0232 F - 133211 Em A I'm writing "young and gifted" in my autobiography C G I figured who would know better than me Em A I'm certainly the former but I'm not so much the latter C G F# But no one's going to read it so I'm sure it doesn't matter Bm E When you find that you're the former C G/B D (with Riff 1) Take pride in how you form Bm E And when you find that you're the ladder A F# (with Riff 2) Don't let those people walk under you (with Riff 3) I'm writing "sharp and adult" with my finger on the steam On the mirror in my bathroom I'm applying shaving cream (with Riff 4) Which would suggest that I'm the foamer but how can I be the lather (with Riff 5) But something tells me it's the opposite I'd rather When you find that you're the foamer (with Riff 1) Be careful what you foam When you find that you're the lather (with Riff 6) Don't shave too high you're regret it later (with Riff 7) Bm G E A F# Ah ah ah la la la la la la la (repeat) I stayed in school this long but still no one will tell me why They figured who would know better than I (with Riff 4) I know I'm a conformer but I'm sure it doesn't matter (with Riff 8) My new friends are all adults and my old friends have all scattered When you find you're a conformer (with Riff 1) Take pride and swallow whole But if you're trying to climb the ladder I can't tell if the acoustic guitar is still here or not; it's tricky to play these chords if it is. If it's not, these are the bass notes! (with Riff 9) F C G Don't let people walk over you F C G Because that's just what they'll do F C G Don't let people walk over you F C G Because that's just what they'll do Riff 1: E|---------------------------------------- B|---------8-----------8-----7--------7/-- G|------9-----9-----7-----7--7--------7/-- D|--10-----------9-----------7--------7/-- A|---------------------------------------- E|---------------------------------------- Riff 2: E|----------------------------------9--9--------9/-- B|--5-----------5-------------------7--7--------7/-- G|-----6-----6-----6-----6----------6--6--------6/-- D|--------7-----------7----------8------------------ A|----------------------------9--------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------- Riff 3: E|--------------------7/-- B|------------8--8----8/-- G|-----7h9p7--9--9-------- D|--9--------------------- A|------------------------ E|------------------------ Riff 4: E|--7--7--5--3----5----7--7--5--3-- B|--8--8--7--5----7----8--8--7--5-- G|--------------------------------- D|--------------------------------- A|--------------------------------- E|--------------------------------- Riff 5: E|--5--5--5--3----5----7--7--7--5-- B|--6--6--6--5----6----8--8--8--7-- G|--------------------------------- D|--------------------------------- A|--------------------------------- E|--------------------------------- Riff 6: E|-------------------------------------6-- B|--5-----------5-------------------7----- G|-----6-----6-----6-----6---------------- D|--------7-----------7----------8-------- A|----------------------------9----------- E|---------------------------------------- Riff 7: E|--7-----------7-----------7-----------7-----------7-----------10--12- B|-----7-----7-----7-----7-----8-----8-----8-----8-----9-----9--------- G|--------7-----------7-----------7-----------7-----------9------------ D|--------------------------------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------------------------------------------------- E|--9-------------9----------------------------7-----------7----------- B|-----10-----10-----10-----10-----10--12--14-----7-----7-----7-----7-- G|---------9-------------9------9--------------------7-----------7----- D|--------------------------------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------------------------------------------------- E|--7-----------7-----------7-----------10--12--9-------------9-------- B|-----8-----8-----8-----8-----9-----9-------------10-----10-----10---- G|--------7-----------7-----------9--------------------9-------------9- D|--------------------------------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------------------------------------------------- E|-------------14--12-- B|--10-----12---------- G|------9-------------- D|--------------------- A|--------------------- E|--------------------- Riff 8: E|--7--7--5--3----5----7--7--7--5-- B|--8--8--7--5----7----8--8--8--7-- G|--------------------------------- D|--------------------------------- A|--------------------------------- E|--------------------------------- Riff 9: E|--5--5--5--3----5----7--7---8--7----5--5--5--3----5---7--7---8--7-- B|--6--6--6--5----6----8--8--10--8----6--6--6--5----6---8--8--10--8-- G|------------------------------------------------------------------- D|--------------------------------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------------------------------------------------- E|---8---8-10---8-----8--10--10--12--10----7--7---8--7---8--7-- B|--10--10-12--10----10--12--12--13--12----8--8--10--8--10--8-- G|------------------------------------------------------------- D|------------------------------------------------------------- A|------------------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------------
