"Catching Fireflies"
By "The Revivalists"
from there albulm "Vital Signs"
Tabbed from "Live from Bing Lounge"
inno,verse and chorus are all the same chord structure as intro. The guys will jam out
in between verses, so, listen to a few versions to get the feel. placement of the chords
wont be prefect as
the hip hop rhythm & squeezed syllables vary the lyric length of the verses, so once
again, listen to this one
a few times and ply along. #REVHEAD
Capo 2
[Intro]
E G# C# A G E
[Verse]
E G# C# A G E
My baby told me you gotta get better if you ever wanna win
E G# C# A G E
and I know that she’s not getting any better man she just sin
E G# C# A G E
I still love her but I know I was once there wearing them shoes
E G# C# A G E
I’m still hurting ‘cause the woman I love’s giving me the blues
[Verse]
E G# C# A G
sitting here sober but I wonder what shape she’ll find me in
E G# C# A G E
I need her under my skin like a junkie needs heroin
E G# C# A G E
and I’m never going back to Snake n’ Jakes the amount of money I spent I could’ve
bought the place
E G# C# A G E
not to mention that they know my face now it’s hell getting out the place
[Chorus]
E G# C# A G E
so I’m walking the streets tonight I’m catching some fireflies
E G# C# A G E
some would say that I’m living a lie but no more today no more tonight
E G# C# A G E
you could say that I’m under the gun nine million miles away from the sun
E G# C# A G E
I’ve hesitated much too long but I’m still having fun hope you’re having fun
[Verse]
E G# C# A G E
belly up in an ambulance I spent Sunday making doctor friends
E G# C# A G E
I could’ve used a pair of depends I hope that made you laugh ‘cause you know I’m a gentlemen
E G# C# A G E
heaven found me living didn’t find me dead got a permanent ash mark on my forehead
E G# C# A G E
but it still couldn’t save me from lying in bed staring at your clothes in the closet
while I was out of my head
[Chorus]
E G# C# A G E
so I’m walking the streets tonight I’m catching some fireflies
E G# C# A G E
some would say that I’m living a lie but no more today no more tonight
E G# C# A G E
you could say that I’m under the gun nine million miles away from the sun
E G# C# A G E
I’ve hesitated much too long but I’m still having fun hope you’re having fun
[Outro]
