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:

    DThe (xx0232@1)monuments and maps

      Bm/Bm7
The skylines and the tourist traps

             G (320003@1)               EmWould (022000@1)all do well if they'd collapse

              G (320003@1)            EmIn (022000@1)all the pictures that you send me now

         G (320003@1)                   Em (022000@1)      AYour (x02220@1)hair seems to get just a little bit blonder

     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)               A (x02220@1)     DAnd (xx0232@1)now I think I'm breakin' down on you

                 G (320003@1)               EmDon't (022000@1)be to scientific but make it clear

                        G (320003@1)                            Aand (x02220@1)never fear I'll be scratchin' it down my nails in clay
