He plays different intros on each version of this song. I usually
just play G - C - G-D - G or something like that. As long as
it's in the key, it'll sound fine...
Fraction of a Man Capo 2
G
Now my old friend Harry
C
Never slowed down to marry
G D
He's in sales, he's gone most of the year
G
He smiles through all his lies
C
With dollar signs in his eyes
G D Riff 1 (Em G)
And he orders himself another beer
G
Now Harry, he's a dreamer
C
A scholar and a schemer
G
But he'll be there for you
D
When push comes to shove
G
His mama called him Harold
C G
And she was one of only two women
D Riff 2 (Em C)
That Harry ever loved
C
The other was a waitress
C
In Cave Creek, Arizona
C
That broke his heart
G
And tangled up his mind
G
My old friend Harry
D
Lookin' kinda scary
D7 Riff 3 (Em C D)
Wonders if he's runnin' out of time
G
Now Biloxi's got a sadness
C
Like a dark day in December
G
That Harry recognizes
D
In all forgotten southern towns
G
Thumbin' through the phonebook
C
For a name he can't remember
G D
Lookin' desperate, like a junkie
Em D
Waitin' for a fix to come around
C
Sittin' playing Blackjack
C
With a hooker and a tourist
C G
And a one-eyed dealer winning every hand
G
Harry sips Black Label
D
Slumps down at the table
D7 Riff 3 (Em)
Feelin' like a fraction of a man
(C) (D) Em C D G
Feelin' like a fraction of a man
He doesn't play these on Honeydew, but he puts them in on his live album.
