What I Am – Edie Brickell
——————————
Tabbed by Howard Wright
H[email protected]
Can’t remember the name of the album
it’s from, but it’s the one with the
child-like colourful drawings of the
band on the front.
Intro/Main Riff :
——————
This is all based on the sus2 shape :
EADGBE
x24422
Bsus2
Just move it up two D, then down to A, then back to B.
E—————————–5——————————-2—-|
B———2—-2——–5————————0————2—-|
G———4—-4————————–2—-2———4———|
D———4—-4——7——————-2–2———4———–|
A–2–2-2—-2——5——5——-0-0-0————-2——2——|
E——————————————————————|
Verse :
——–
Keep repeating the main riff over these words :
I’m not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
(Repeat once)
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I’m not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
De-doo yeah
Chorus:
——–
Em D
Chuck me in the shallow water
Em D
Before I get too deep
(Repeat once – I think ..)
Then back to the main riff.
The whole song is just these two parts – the sus2 riff
alternating with Em and D for the chorus.
There’s a little lead line on guitar over the chorus :
Em D
E—12—15—12—–12———14—12——|
B—————-15——15–15———-15–|
G——————————————–|
D——————————————–|
A——————————————–|
E——————————————–|
Chuck me in the shallow water
That’s about it !
