There is alot of solo work and riffs going on throughout the entire song.
Being a singer and not an fantastic guitarist, I can't figure them out,
and if I could, I wouldn't be able to play them and sing at the same time.
I'm sure they're not hard for someone who can play lead.

Intro: G5 A5 F5 C5 G5

Verse 1:

G5
It's bitter -
A5
It tastes alot like winter.
    F5      C5       G5
And will it, release me?
G5
So heavy -
A5
How much more to bring down the levy
    F5       C5          G5
And kill me? Don't kill me.

Chorus:

G5         D5          E5
I've been stayin' high.
              C5             G5           D5  E5  C5
And I've been feeling sorry for myself.
G5             D5            E5
And I've been ressurecting my,
   C5            G5               D5  E5  C5
My fortress to protect myself.

Verse 2:

G5
Shattered -
A5
Tired, beaten, worn down and tattered and
F5      C5      G5
Can you even hear me?
G5
What do you expect out of me?
          A5
I'm being buried alive and screaming,
          F5   C5               G5
Can't you see - oh, can't you see me?

Chorus:

G5         D5          E5
I've been stayin' high.
              C5             G5           D5  E5  C5
And I've been feeling sorry for myself.
G5             D5            E5
And I've been ressurecting my,
   C5            G5               D5  E5  C5
My fortress to protect myself.


Verse 3:

G5
Weary -
A5
My hands slapped I'm cautious and leary
   F5      C5             G5
of tryin' - oh but I'm tryin'
G5
How am I to figure it out?
    A5
All along I've been kicking around
            F5     C5         G5
Without my home, yeah - I'm so lost, so lost.

Chorus:

G5         D5          E5
I've been stayin' high.
              C5             G5           D5  E5  C5
And I've been feeling sorry for myself.
G5             D5            E5
And I've been ressurecting my,
   C5            G5               D5  E5  C5
My fortress to protect myself.

G5         D5          E5
I've been stayin' high.
              C5             G5           D5  E5  C5
And I've been feeling sorry for myself.
G5             D5            E5
And I've been ressurecting my,
   C5            G5               D5  E5  C5
My fortress to protect myself.

G5     D5
Na na na na na na
E5    C5              G5
Na na na na na na na na
G5     D5
Na na na na na na
E5    C5              G5
Na na na na na na na na...


Naturally you're playing this song for a big crowd of people. Get them to
sing some "na na na's" for ya. Great song. Even better band.

I hope you enjoy this tab. I know that it's hard to find the lesser known
Sister Hazel tabs around. If I feel motivated I might get the rest of the
CD done that isn't posted yet.

Adios!
