Song: Fonder and Blonder
Transcribed by: Joe Daly (DissidentJ@aol.com)
Note below that when the Bm is played, it should be alternated between
strums with a Bm7 (just lift the ol' middle finger off the B string if
you're playing the standard barre chord Bm).
Intro:
D Bm/Bm7 G Em G A (this is also the main progression throughout the song)
No more negot[D]iations dear
I'm runnin' out of [Bm/Bm7]patience here
Whisper congratul[G]ations in my [Em]ear
When it's clear that we got n[G]othin' much left to s[A]ay
The [D]monuments and maps
The sk[Bm/Bm7]ylines and the tourist traps
Would all do [G]well if they'd col[Em]lapse
And send you [G]runnin' back here to [A]me
CHORUS
Well w[G]ho said "Absence makes the heart grow fo[D]nder"?
In all the pic[G]tures that you [Em]send me now
Your hair[G] seems to get just a l[Em]ittle bit [A]blonder
[D]Cars break down
And p[Bm/Bm7]eople break down and
[G]other things break down[A] too
I felt so[Em]methin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I t[G]hink I'm breakin' [A]down on [D]you
[D] [Bm/Bm7] [G] [Em] [G] [A]
Could you be more spec[D]ific dear
Tell me what is so te[Bm/Bm7]rrific here
Don't be to scien[G]tific but make it [Em]clear
and never fear I'll be s[G]cratchin' it down my nails in c[A]lay
CHORUS
Well w[G]ho said "Absence makes the heart grow fo[D]nder"?
In all the pic[G]tures that you [Em]send me now
Your hair[G] seems to get just a l[Em]ittle bit [A]blonder
[D]Cars break down
And p[Bm/Bm7]eople break down and
[G]other things break down[A] too
I felt so[Em]methin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I t[G]hink I'm breakin' [A]down on [D]you
Have another [G]sedative It gets so rep[D]etitive
And don't do a [G]damn to help me [D]feel O.K.
And all the [G]breath of me here from you and [D]that would be very nice
If e[Em]ver it'll help me get thr[G]ough the day, yeah yeah yeah yeah,
SOLO
(Play main part four times)
[D] [Bm/Bm7] [G] [Em] [G] [A]

I felt so[Em]methin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think [G]I'm breakin' down on...[A]
[D]Cars break down
And p[Bm/Bm7]eople break down and
[G]other things break down[A] too (spoken)
I felt so[Em]methin' slip when you left on your trip
