Subject: j/jewel/foolish_games.tab
This tab is just the corrected version of John Schneider's great "foolish
games" tab (which was a corrected version of Wilson Miner's tab.)
Here's what John Schneider corrected:
"a tab already available on the web, done by Wilson Miner
the tab provided here differs in the following respects:
1) the guitar is tuned up; (low E and A strings tuned up 1/2 step
2) the variation on the 'C' chord during the intro is different;
3) the chord progression during the chorus is different,
and has been tabbed in full."
Mr. Schneider's tab is perfect, as far as I can tell, except for one
thing: last line of each verse has a slightly different chord pattern
than the rest of the verse. it's actually more of a "pre-chorus" with a
different 1st chord (Gm instead of Dm). So in case it sounded slightly
off... that's why.
Foolish Games by Jewel Kilcher; track 4 from "Pieces of You" (Atlantic
Records) - buy the CD!

[intro.]
[v.line] You took your coat off...
[v.line] And I watched from...
[v.line] You were always...
[v.line] Then you stood...
[pc.line] Well in case...
[c.line] These foolish games are tearing me apart
[c.line] Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
[intro.]
[v.line] You were always...
[v.line] Your philosophies...
[v.line] You'd teach me of...
[v.line] So I hid my soiled hands...
[pc.line] Excuse me, think...
Repeat Chorus
[intro.]
[Dm x 4]
[v.line] You took off your coat and stood in the rain/you were always
like that
[repeat intro and fade...]
Tab: (note the guitar tuning... tune 5th and 6th strings up 1/2 step to
Bb and F respectively. This makes it considerably easier to play.)
