Simple lessons! from the album LUCY by CANDLEBOX
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What a great song!!

Tabbed out once again by the amazing bazzy! :)
e-mail is very welcome : [email protected]

intro:
e|---0-----0---0x---0-----0---0x--|
B|-----0-----0-0x-----0-----0-0x--|
G|-------3~----3x-------3~----3x--|
D|-4--------------4---------------|
A|-4--------------4---------------|
E|-2--------------2---------------|

              
The main riff:
e|-------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------9--9-9-9-9--------------| repeat
G|-3--3-3-3-3--6--6-6-6-6--9--9-9-9-9--8--8-8-8-8--|
D|-4--4-4-4-4--7--7-7-7-7--9--9-9-9-9--9--9-9-9-9--|
A|-4--4-4-4-4--7--7-7-7-7--7--7-7-7-7--9--9-9-9-9--|
E|-2--2-2-2-2--5--5-5-5-5--------------7--7-7-7-7--|


I believe he uses a wah-wah in the next part:
e|-------|-------|-------|-------|
B|-------|-------|-------|-------| it sounds best if you
G|---3---|---4---|---9---|---8---| slide between the chords!
D|-----4-|-----7-|-----9-|-----9-|
A|-4-----|-7-----|-7-----|-9-----|
E|-------|-------|-------|-------|

I don't know how to call the next part but it's cool!!
e|--------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------|
G|-3--3-3-3-3--31--1-1-/6--6-6-6-6--6/8--8-8-|
D|-4--4-4-4-4--42--2-2-/7--7-7-7-7--7/9--9-9-|
A|-4--4-4-4-4--42--2-2-/7--7-7-7-7--7/9--9-9-|
E|-2--2-2-2-2--2--0-0-/5--5-5-5-5--5/7--7-7-|

that are all the parts he plays figure out in what order for yah self

lyrics:
Sounds to be where, you want to scream
Always left withouth,saying hello
I've seen chains that bear less, snap and fall long before you let go
Times run over your sink onto my floor,
It's okay we've cleaned them many times before
simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are
simple lessons are, simple lessons are
Sounds might be where, yeah i want to cry
Always left before , i said hello
He's had days where shades of brilliance,never granted him space
Green shades of painfull rains,it's okay,they'll wash away now
simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are
simple lessons are, simple lessons are
Always, taught you how, drain yourself empty
Always, taught you how, drain yourself empty
We've all scared up from ages of childish games
Yet i've never seen your head up higher
It feels real this time, i seen your happy again
Reel in it for awhile,oh enough to take my place
Sounds to be where,you want to scream
Always left without saying hello
I've seen chains that bear less, snap and fall long before you let go
You before you let go!

e|------------------|r|-------|
