Heathcliff's Haiku Warriors

A: 3/23/93 Big Leauge Chew
N:These lyrics were never the same twice...these are my approximation of
what Dave is singing on 3/23/93 (Big League Chew). Stylistically, the rhythm
is created in a one and two and three and four pattern with each beat played
by plucking the chord fingering and each off beat created by gently smacking
the guitar body/pick guard. The chord is actually syncopated and the smack
is used to keep time for the lyrics.

There are three main progressions in this tune which I will label I, II, and
III.

The order of these progressions is: I, II, I, II, III, I, II, III.

ΚΚΚI ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI
It won't be soon but while we wait our feelings go away
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI
And we fall out of our holes into the open air
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI
Take this song long, we cry away...in corners we refill
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI
I don't know what I see but I know its not fair
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa...I
Baby say you love me
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIaΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚ ΚI
I won't leave her waiting but walking by my door
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa
I find all the smiling faces crept up in...
II ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIIa
Time and summer in an old way down
II ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIIa ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI
We swing our hands and hope that everyone comes back
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI
I don't believe what you're saying, I don't believe what you're doing
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI
You don't ring in detention and what you hang from your tree
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI
I don't believe what you're saying but walking by my door
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa
I find all the smiling faces crept up in the
II ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIIa
Rhyme and rhythm of an old song I heard
II ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIIa
Upon the covers away in our memories still
III
And still we feel so cold
(no chord)
I really thought there was
I ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI
Cold winter day not to mind by the mending wall
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI
You could do it for me for a week or more
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa...I
I don't believe what your saying
ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIa
I don't care about this world I only want to
II ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIIa
Pull the sun into an open page
II ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚIIa
Crushed my the memories soon our happiness fell away
III
Our memories died and darkness fell

(End on single strum of last E chord)

Note: I tabbed this by memory at work and also transcribed the lyrics (which
are almost undecypherable) at work by memory as well. Please send or make
any corrections to me.
