 Somebody help me find my way back down


 There's nobody left for me to lap around


 Everyone's breaking past my speed of sound


 I am a dictator I keep my soul surrounded


 Watching my life, Waaah - tching my life, Watching my life ....


 


 I'm watching my life go by


 


 Watching my life go by

{t:Watching My Life Go By}
 {st:Michael Hedges}
 
 by Michael Hedges 1981
 
 Tuning: DADGCC
 
 Legend:
 ! = left hand reaches under neck and vigorously slaps guitar body like
 it's a bongo drum!
 
 This tune is in 5/8 TIME Michael kept a kind of eighth note grace note
 strum pattern throughout this tune. Notes Tabbed out below are more or
 less Accents, but this is my first tab, so there are grace notes that I didn't put in
 here, but if you know the tune, you'll know what to do...
 
 * WHEN YOU OPEN THIS MAKE SURE IT WRAPS TO WINDOW AND NOT RULER.
 UNSURE? GO TO THE 62ND CHARACHTER OF EACH LINE OF TABLATURE AND DO A HARD RETURN [HIT
 ENTER] IT WILL LINE UP PROPERLY ...
 
 Forte [WITH PASSION]

 [same as verses above]
 
 Somebody help me find my way back down
 There's nobody left for me to lap around
 Everyone's breaking past my speed of sound
 I am a dictator I keep my soul surrounded
 Watching my life, Waaah - tching my life, Watching my life ....
 
 I'm watching my life go by
 
 Watching my life go by
 
 [ending]
