The Fat Lady Sings from the album ‘Johnson’
tab by Brian Beckmann
Intro: D ? G ? D ? G
You’re a star, he says
, you’ve bottled your g
race
It’s a laugh to watch you try to keep
pace
With the steps we made together one
night with
beer
And you called m
e?
Johnny
Sun
rise
Johnny Sunrise
walks away from
me?
Takes his time and he takes me too seriousl
y
Locks his thoughts away in a
box he built
While I was gon
e?
Johnny

CHORUS
But
remember the
bite of those
November n
ights when we rode out
Em D Asus4?A
To fight for the light of our lives to be turned on?
Sweat and perfume and new
bread as the moon faded
G D C (hold?) D (hold?)
Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn’t forget in a hurry
C (hold?) D (hold?)
But then we weren’t in a hurry?
V2
Our faces are mirrors
lines and scars that we’ve
earned
All the classes we missed all the lessons we l
earned
All the roads that we took that took us a
part
Now you’re
sitting there saying
,
”Let’s go
back to the s
tart.”
And he says, “
Lose that luggage
let it all
go’
Job you
got job you lost what it cost all the things you now
know
All the girls you once had and the man that you
are
Let’s climb
off this world again
And climb
into my
car
Let’s climb
into my
car
A G D (keep strumming?D?)
Drive away in my car
CHORUS
And
remember the
bite of those
November
nights when we rode out
Em D Asus4?A
To fight for the light of our lives to be turned on?
Sweat and perfume and new
bread as the moon faded
Stumbling home s
pilling out stories we
wouldn’t forget in a million
years, but then, we didn'
t have a million years, m
illion years,
million years?
Sweat and perfume and new
bread as the moon faded
G D C(hold?) D
Stumbling home spilling out stories we wouldn’t forget in a hurry
C (hold?) D (stay on D to fade)
But then we weren’t in a hurry?
