Tabbed this by ear from a performance on YouTube of this song backstage at the Newport
Folk Festival. This is the link to the performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v7EwoxVZTuMM
The song is in standard tuning, capo on the 4th fret.
The intro has this as the basic melody with Seth going back and forth between these
notes and the root note of the chord above:
[G] [C]
e-0------------------------------------------------|
B---0-3-----0-------------0------------------------|
G---------2---2-0-0-----2---2-0-0----0-------------|
D-------------------0--------------0----0-2--------|
A--------------------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------------------|
VERSE 1:
[G]Hurts so bad, you don't come around here anymor[C]e.
[G]Worse than that, nothing's really helping
I've been t[C]hinking 'bout drinking a[G]gain.
[G]It's alright if you finally stop caring,
Just don't go and tell someone that [C]does.
Cau[Am]se even though I k[C]now there's hope
In [Am]every morning s[G]ong,
I h[Am]ave to find that me[C]lod[D]y alo[G]ne.
VERSE 2 (same pattern as verse 1):
Her name became the flame unto the fire.
A magpie on a wire, warned of those.
Dead unto the high, shamelessly alive unto the low.
It's alright if you finally stop caring,
Just don't go and tell someone that does.
Cause even though I know there's hope
In every morning song,
I have to find that melody alone.
BRIDGE:
W[Am]e can go ahead if [F]no one notices.
W[C]hat's the point of it I h[G]ave to ask?
O[Am]r how you learn to see the [F]hope eternally
W[C]hen you're sure to be, oh...e[G]ven less.
VERSE 3:
[C]Hurts so bad., more than I expected that it w[F]ould.
[C]Worse than that, it seems to be here lasting
Just a l[F]ittle longer than it sho[C]uld.
[G]It's alright if you finally stop caring,
Just don't go and tell someone that d[C]oes.
C[Am]ause even though I kn[C]ow there's hope
I[Am]n every morning so[G]ng,
I[Am] have to find that m[C]elo[D]dy al[G]one.
I[Am] have to find that m[C]elo[D]dy al[G]one.
I[Am] have to find that m[C]elo[D]dy al[G]one.
I[Am] have to find that m[C]elo[D]dy al[G]one.
I[Am] have to sing that m[C]elody al[G]one.
OUTRO: Scott plays around with the melody a bit on the banjo with these chords in the background.
[G] [-] [C] [-] [D] [-] [G]
That's the entire song! Enjoy!
