Song: My Horoscope Said It Would Be A Bad Year
Tabbed by: Ross Miner
From compilation:
"Inbred: Sounds of the San Joaquin Valley"
Intro-
[E A ] x 4
Verse One-
[E-A-E-A]
I sit at this table and I stare at my hands.
[E-A-E-A]
Every day they grow to look a little more like my dads.
[E-A-E-A]
And I trace these veins that run up and down my arms,
[E-A-E-A]
From where I'm sitting I trace sixty more years
[E-A-E-A]
And I've learned to count on nothing, 'cause most times its all I've got
[E-A-E-A]
And all I see is me, my roots are starting to rot
Chorus-
[F#m-A-E]
All you want to do is win when you're losing
[F#m-A-E]
You say you want some competition, well I'm not that strong.
[F#m-A-E]
Just put away your ladder, I'm happy where I am.
[F#m-A-E]
My fate seems clear to me, man, it's out of my hands.
E A
Verse Two-
[E-A-E-A]
And sometimes I feel like genius, other times I feel like a fool
[E-A-E-A]
And my friends indulge me, but most times I think I know it all
[E-A-E-A]
But mostly I feel like a little boy, I'd rather feel pain than show fear.
[E-A-E-A]
I don't want to make excuses but my horoscope said it'd be a bad year.
[E-A-E-A]
And sometimes I see myself getting killed, on one of these big scary streets
[E-A-E-A]
And then I'd have nothing to live up to, and no expectations to meet...
Chorus-
[F#m-A-E]
All you want to do is win when you're losing
[F#m-A-E]
You say you want some competition, well I'm not that strong.
[F#m-A-E]
Just put away your ladder, I'm happy where I am.
[F#m-A-E]
My fate seems clear to me, man, it's out of my hands.
