Words and Music: Donnie Vie/Chip Z'nuff
My goal is to have every released Enuff Z'nuff song transcribed by
the end of 1998.

Country slacker rhythm
intro begins with a fiddle fill
                [G]             [A]
1...2...3...4...1...2...3...4...1...2...3...4...

[Dw/fill1]      [A]             [D]
                                      All those tears that you have
1.......2........3.......4.......1...2............3........4.......

[G]             [A]
cried.             And all those feelings deep in
1...2...3...4...1...2...........3........4.......

[D]             [D7]
side.              You can blame it all on
1...2...3...4...1...2.......3.......4.......

[G]     [A]                             [D]
me.     But still as far as I can       see
        [D7]
I can   see. When you're
[G]                     [Em]
troubled and you're     faced by the
[G]                     [Em]
monsters        on your case.



I'm just a
[D]                     [A]
clown. A clown on the   town. But I won't let you
[D w/fill 1]    [A] [D]
down.


(Repeat progression throughout)

All those times you've wished I've gone.
And all the times we've carried on.
If I ever went away
I'd just be comin' back someday. Oh, someday.
Yes, I've made some mistakes
And I know I've caused you some heartbreaks




The notes in parentheses are the actual pitch caused by the bend.
This may be in conflict with traditional tab notation, but I
find it efficient and understandable./=slide up;\=slide down;if you
come across an x, it does not symbolize a muted string. It represents
the unknown fret origin of a quick slide up or down the neck.

                                [G]

When you're sad and lonely baby
And your everything's a maybe
You can lay your head upon me
And you can lay your troubles on me, yeah lay 'em on me.
But no matter what you do
And all the madness I put you through.
