Yet again I am not posting my own tab, but I'm making sure that tabs aren't lost out in the great www, especially with the RIAA on the scent of tab websites now. With mxtabs we need to make sure UG stays and we don't lose other people's efforts at writing tabs. Here is the tab which I stole (I mean, garnered for future generations) quoted word for word: The Professor (Live at Cornucopia Café, Dublin) capo 3 C Well I don't know if I'm wrong B/Am Cause she's only just gone Am G Here's to another relationship (hammers on 2nd fret of D string on the word "bombed") F (Em) Bombed by excellent breed of gamete disease F G I'm sure when I'm older I'll know what that means (same as first time) Cried when she should and she laughed when she could Here's to the man with his face in the mud And an overcast play just taken away From the lover's in love at the centre of stage yeah F Loving is fine if you have plenty of time G For walking on stilts at the edge of your mind F Loving is good if your dick's made of wood G And the dick left inside only half understood her Fmaj7 What makes her come and what makes her stay? G6 What make the animal run, run away yeah Fmaj7 What makes him stall, what makes him stand G6 And what shakes the elephant now (mute) And what makes a man? Fmaj7 G6 Am6/9 (?) I don't know, I don't know, I don't know Am6/9 G6 Fmaj7 G6 C No I don't know you any more C Cmaj7 Fmaj7 No, no, no, no... C Fmaj7 ooh yeah... hey hey... same as first time, except sub E7 for B/Am I don't know if I'm wrong 'Cause shes only just gone Why the *** is this day taking so long I was a lover of time and once she was mine I was a lover indeed, I was covered in weed Cried when she should and she laughed when she could Well closer to god is the one who's in love And I walk away cause I can Too many options may kill a man Loving is fine if it's not in your mind But I've ***ed it up now, too many times Loving is good if it's not understood Yeah, but I'm the professor And feel that I should know What makes her come and what makes her stay? What make the animal run, run away and What makes him tick apart from him prick And the lonelier side of the jealousy stick I don't know, I don't know, I don't know No I don't know, I don't know, I don't know No I don't know, I don't know, I don't know Hell I don't know you any more No, no, no no... Well I don't know if I'm wrong 'Cause she's only just gone Here's to another relationship Bombed by my excellent breed of gamete disease I finished it off with some French wine and cheese La fille danse Quand elle joue avec moi Et je pense que je l'aime des fois Le silence, n'ose pas dis-donc Quand on est ensemble Mettre les mots Sur la petite dodo C x 3 2 0 1 0 B/Am x 2 0 0 1 0 Am (0)0 2 2 1 0 F 1(3)3 2 1 1 Fmaj7 1 x 3 2 1 0 (use thumb on low E string) G6 3 x 5 4 3 0 (") Am6/9 5 7 7 5 0 0 E7 0 2 0 1 3 0 There you go. Some weird chords, but not too hard. Just a pretty standard walking bass for most of the song, a la Paul Simon's "America". Rice does some hammering on and off (A to G to A on the F chords - middle finger, and a middle finger thing with the E in the C chord.) I haven't actually seen Damien Rice in concert or anything, so some of this might be But it sounds a lot like the track to me, so give it a try. Questions, comments?
