I saw Modern Baseball live last weekend, and I fell in love with them in only a
few short days. They opened with Tears Over Beers, so I searched for a tab and found
mostly chords/tabs that looked
similar to this;
E-------------------------------|-------------------------------| B-------------------------------|-------------------------------| G-6---------6---------6---------|-6---------6---------6---------| D-6---------6---------6---------|-6---------6---------6---------| A-4---------4---------6---------|-5---------5---------4---------| E-------------------------------|-------------------------------|
When I was just a boy, we'll call it 15 or so
E-------------------------------|-------------------------------| B-------------------------------|-------------------------------| G-6---------6---------6---------|-6---------6---------6---------| D-6---------6---------6---------|-6---------6---------6---------| A-4---------4---------6---------|-5---------5---------4---------| E-------------------------------|-------------------------------|
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in my bones
It also turns out that this is how the lead singer plays while he is singing. However,
I was having trouble hitting the notes with my voice, so I wrote a tab that made it
easier to find your correct pitches. This tab also sounds more melodic and pleasing
to the ear- especially if you're playing alone.
I have tabbed the intro, and wrote the chords and lyrics for the rest of the song.
I will refer to the chords by their bass note, as the main notes (G#+C#) do not change
for the majority of the song.
C# x466xx
D x566xx
D# x666xx
F x866xx
F# x966xx
F#* 2x66xx -- if you cannot reach this, you can just play x966xx or whatever sounds good
to you.

That girl who's next to me she found herself bored to tears

She realized if she wants conversation, she's out of luck for three more years
When [C#]I was [D#]just a [F]boy, [F#]we'll call it [F]15 or [C#]so,
I [C#]found my[D#]self a[F]nnoyed by a [F#]syndrome of [F]sorts in my [C#]bones
That [C#]girl who's[D#] next to [F]me, she [F#]found herself [F]bored to [C#]tears
She [C#]realized if [D#]she wanted [F]conversation, she's[D] out of luck for[D] three more [C#]years
When I[C#] moved a[D#]way from [F]home, [F#]100 [F]miles or [C#]so,
I [C#]knew a [D#]change had [F]grown inside my [F#]awkwardly [F]long limbs and [C#]bones
That [C#]girl who's[D#] next to [F]me, she's [F#]friendly and [F]thoughtful and [C#]quite awfully pretty,
But [C#]all she [D#]has to [F]say is a [F#]meat head-themed [F]monologue on [D]why Brad ran away
C# D# F#*
She said, "All I can hope for is for me to get better,
C# D# F#*
because all I can take is no more.
I'll [C#]win him back a[D#]gain, we'll be [F]lovers, best [F#]friends.
He won't [C#]need no other [D#]woman like he [D]did way back when he was with [C#]me.
C# D# F#*
He needed more than me
I'm [C#]friendly and [D#]thoughtful and [F]quite awfully [F#]pretty,
But he [F]needed [D]more than [C#]me."
When I [C#]felt that [D#]I should [F]leave, [F#]we'll call it [F]midnight or [C#]so,
I [C#]found my[D#]self a[F]nnoyed by a [F#]syndrome of [F]sorts in her [C#]bones
That [C#]girl who's [D#]next to [F]me, she [F#]don't know her [F]worth in this [C#]town,
because her [C#]face starts to [D#]shine when that [F]meat head be[F#]hind me
Is [F]grinning as he's [D]checking her [C#]out
C# D# F#*
I said, "All I can hope for is for you to get better,
C# D# F#*
Because all I can take is no more.
I'll [C#]hide where I [D#]can, away from [F]you and your [F#]friends,
leaking [F]tears over [D]beers once a[C#]gain."
Thanks, please email me for suggestions/any notes I should take for future tabs, seeing
as this was my first guitar tab.
