*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Ready Or Not by Jackson Browne
CAPO: 4th Fret (Original Key is Ab)
C
Someone's gonna have to explain it to me
F C
I'm not sure what it means
F C Am
My baby's feelin' funny in the morning
C G F
She's havin' trouble gettin' into her jeans
C
Her waistline seems to be expanding
F C
Although she never feels like eatin' a thing
F C Am
I guess we'll reach some understanding
C G F
When we see what the future will bring
C
I met her in a crowded bar-room
F C
One of those typical Hollywood scenes
F C
I was doing my very best Bogart
Am C G F
But I was having trouble getting into her jeans.
C
I punched an unemployed actor
F C
Defending her dignity
F C Am
Then he stood up and knocked me through that bar-room door
C G F
And that girl came home with me.
CHORUS I:
F C
Now baby's feelin' funny in the mornin'
Am C
She says she's got a lot on her mind
F C
Nature didn't give any warnin'
D G
Now she's gonna have to leave her wild ways behind
F C
She says she doesn't care if she never spends
F C
Another night running loose on the town (she's gonna be a mother)
F C Am
Take a look in my eyes and tell me brother
C G F
If I look like I'm ready
Instrumental
C
I told her I had always lived alone
F C
And I probably always would
F C Am
That all I wanted was my freedom
C G F
And she told me that she understood
C
But I let her do some of my laundry
F C
And she slipped a few meals in-between
F C Am
The next thing I remember, she was all moved in
C G F
And I was buyin' her a washing machine.
CHORUS II:
F C
Now baby's feeling funny in the mornin'
Am C
She says she's got a lot on her mind
F C
Nature didn't give her any warning
D G
But she's feelin' better about it all the time
F C
She says she's ready for some meaning
F C
After all of her running around
F C Am
Bless my soul, she's got a rock-n-roll band
C G F
Man, I'm thinkin' 'bout settlin' down
F C Am
Bless my soul, she's got a rock-n-roll band
C G F C
Man, I'm thinkin' 'bout settlin' down
