			 FRACTION OF AMAN (x02220@1)- Shawn Mullins
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Matt Faulkner
Email: mmfaulkner@una.edu

Tuning: EADGBe  Capo 2
 

He plays different intros on each version of this song. I usually 
just play G - C - G-D - G or something like that. As long as 
it's in the key, it'll sound fine...


Fraction of a Man       Capo 2


GNow (320003@1)my old friend Harry

CNever (x32010@1)slowed down to marry

         G (320003@1)                          DHe's (xx0232@1)in sales, he's gone most of the year


    GHe (320003@1)smiles through all his lies

       CWith (x32010@1)dollar signs in his eyes

G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)          Riff 1 (Em  G)
And he orders himself another beer



GNow (320003@1)Harry, he's a dreamer

CA (x32010@1)scholar and a schemer 

              GBut (320003@1)he'll be there for you

                     DWhen (xx0232@1)push comes to shove


     GHis (320003@1)mama called him Harold

C (x32010@1)                          GAnd (320003@1)she was one of only two women

      D (xx0232@1)         Riff 2 (Em  C)
That Harry ever loved


CThe (x32010@1)other was a waitress

CIn (x32010@1)Cave Creek, Arizona

CThat (x32010@1)broke his heart 

                    GAnd (320003@1)tangled up his mind


G (320003@1)                   
My old friend Harry

DLookin' (xx0232@1)kinda scary

                  D7 (xx0212@1)          Riff 3 (Em  C (x32010@1)D)
Wonders if he's runnin' out of time


     GNow (320003@1)Biloxi's got a sadness

        CLike (x32010@1)a dark day in December

GThat (320003@1)Harry recognizes 

     D (xx0232@1)   
In all forgotten southern towns


GThumbin' (320003@1)through the phonebook

       CFor (x32010@1)a name he can't remember

          G (320003@1)                 DLookin' (xx0232@1)desperate, like a junkie

                            Em (022000@1)    DWaitin' (xx0232@1)for a fix to come around


CSittin' (x32010@1)playing Blackjack

CWith (x32010@1)a hooker and a tourist

C (x32010@1)                                  GAnd (320003@1)a one-eyed dealer winning every hand

GHarry (320003@1)sips Black Label

DSlumps (xx0232@1)down at the table

                 D7 (xx0212@1)         Riff 3 (Em)  
Feelin' like a fraction of a man

(C)              (D)          Em (022000@1)    C (x32010@1)   D (xx0232@1)    GFeelin' (320003@1)like a fraction of a man



He doesn't play these on Honeydew, but he puts them in on his live album.
