Artist: The Refreshments
Song: Fonder and Blonder
Transcribed by: Joe Daly (DissidentJ@aol.com)
* Note below that when the Bm is played, it should be alternated between
strums with a Bm7 (just lift the ol' middle finger off the B string if
you're playing the standard barre chord Bm).
Intro:
D Bm/Bm7* G Em G A (this is also the main progression throughout the song)

Bm/Bm7
And people break down and
G (320003@1) Aother (x02220@1)things break down too
EmI (022000@1)felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip

G (320003@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)don't do a damn to help me feel O.K.
G (320003@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)all the breath of me here from you and that would be very nice
