10000 MANIACS - "cherry tree" Tablature

From: andrade@elm.circa.ufl.edu (Prashant Andrade)

Here's some stuff by 10000_Maniacs. I'm not sure the chords are O.K.
but I tried my limited best. Corrections will be both welcome and
appreciated.

SONG: Cherry Tree

A D F#m A
Over your shoulder, please don't mind me if my eyes have
D A A
fallen onto your magazine for I've been watching and wondering why
D A F#m
your face is changing with every line you read. All those lines
C#m A C#m F#m C#m A
and circles, to me, a mystery. Eve pull down the apple and give
F#m Bm E ? ????????
taste to me. If she would be wonderful, but my pride is in the

way. I cannot read to save my life, I'm so ashamed to say.

I live in silence, afraid to speak of my life of

darkness because I cannot read. For all those lines and circles,

to me, a mystery. Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me.

If she could it would be wonderful. Then I wouldn't need someone

else's eyes to see what's in front of me. No one guiding me.

It makes me humble to be so green at what every kid can

do when he learns A to Z, but all those lines and circles just

frighten me and I fear that I'll be trampled if you don't reach

for me. Before I run I'll have to take a fall. And then pick

myself up, so slowly I'll devour every one of those books in the

Tower of Knowledge.




@SONG: Don't Talk

D F#m D F#m
Don't talk, I will listen. Don't talk, you keep your
G D Em
distance for I'd rather hear some truth tonight than entertain
Dadd9 G D Em
your lies, so take you poison silently. Let me be. Let me close
A
my eyes. Don't talk, I'll beleive it. Don't talk, listen to me

instead, I know that if you think of it, both long enough and hard

the drink you drown your troubles in is the trouble you're in now.
Em A Em A
Talk talk talk about it, if you talk as if you care but
Em A D G Em
when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air, tossing back
A
more than your share. Don't talk, I can guess it. Don't talk,

well now your restless and you need somewhere to put the blame for

how you feel inside. You'll look for a close and easy mark and

you'll see me as fair game.

Talk talk talk about it, talk as if you care but when

your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air tossing back more

than your share. You talk talk talk about it, you talk as if you

care. I'm marking every word and can tell this time for sure,

your talk is the finest I have heard. So don't talk, let me go on

dreaming. How your eyes they glow so feircely I can tell your

inspired by the name you chose for me. Now what was it? O, never

mind it. We will talk talk talk about this when your head is

clear. I'll discuss this in the morning, but until then you may

talk but I won't hear.
