Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, y Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, deciden formar TLC en 1991, buscando un sonido hip hop diferenciador. Lanzan su primer trabajo, "Ooooooohhh...On the TLC Tip" a principios de 1992 con una ascensión meteórica a las listas de éxitos con temas como “Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg”, “What About Your Friends2”, “Baby-Baby-Baby” y el hit multiventas, "Waterfalls".
Poco después de lanzar su segundo trabajo, Lopes es arrestada por quemar la casa de su novio, Andre Rison.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
*Progression stays the same throughout the whole song. I was playing the song using bar but if you want to play the chords normally put a capo on the first fret and the chords what you're familiar with.
Chords without capo: D#A#C#G# Chords with capo on 1st fret: DACG
I'll assume we aren't using a capo for this one.
[Intro:] D#A#C#G#
[Verse] D#A# A lonely mother gazing out of her window C#G# Staring at a son that she just can't touch If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much But all the praying just ain't helping At all 'cause he can't seem to keep His self out of trouble So he goes out and he makes his money The best way he knows how Another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me
[Chorus:] D#A# Don't go chasing waterfalls C# Please stick to the rivers G# And the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way Or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast
[Verse] Little precious has a natural obsession For temptation but he just can't see She gives him loving that his body can't handle But all he can say is baby it's good to me One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror But he doesn't recognize his own face His health is fading and he doesn't know why 3 letters took him to his final resting place Y'all don't hear me?
[Chorus:] x2 D#A# Don't go chasing waterfalls C# Please stick to the rivers G# And the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way Or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast
[Verse] I see a rainbow yesterday But too many storms have come and gone leavin' a trace of not good-given ray Is it because my life is ten shades of gray I pray all ten fade away Seldom praise Him for the sunny days And like His promise is true only my faith can undo The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew Clear blue and unconditional skies Have dried the tears from my eyes No more lonely cries endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain Who's to blame it's a shame You shoot and aim for someone else's brain You claim the insane and name his day in time For fallin' prey to crime, I say the system Got you victim to your own mind Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes Of comin' true, believe in yourself The rest is up to me and you
[Chorus:] x2 D#A# Don't go chasing waterfalls C# Please stick to the rivers G# And the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way Or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast
Thats all it is folks, this tab should be pretty much 100% accurate, if it's not, let me Comment and rate it up guys! Have fun with this one.
