Subject: CRD: Think About It by the Jayhawks

THINK ABOUT IT (Gary Louris/Marc Perlman)

>From the album "Sound of Lies"
Transcribed by Ken Rutsky

Intro: G5-F5-E5   (These can also be played as full chords: G-F-Em)

G                        Em
  Took her pills and her magazines
Am                     C
  Left her lying in her misery
G                         Em
  He was locked up in his room
Am                         C                         G5
  Colored pinwheels as the sirens whine down the avenue

(G5)           F5
Think about it once
                     E5
Take your time don't fuss
What you got to lose
          G5
Everybody choose
               F5
Think about it once
                      E5
Take your time, don't fuss

All the dog-eared pages on your shelf
You never talk except about yourself
All the red eyes in the room
Tried to rearrange your world for you

Think about it once
Take your time, don't fuss
What you got to lose
Everybody choose
Think about it, once
What you got to lose

Bridge: Bb-Ab

As he pulled his pad and scribbled "suicide"
The county coroner, he shook his head from side to side
He was a little less than pleased
Very pale and very tired
The toll of love had brought them to their knees

Think about it once
Take your time, don't fuss
What you got to lose
Everybody choose

etc.

End song by strumming G-F-Em slowly
