Version 1 Version 2
Dumb Things - Paul Kelly (Yeah!)
========================
I think this is pretty close - sounds close to the CD.
It works for me anyway!
(4/4)
[Intro]
Am Em Am Em Am Em Am C G D
|--------|--------|--------|--------|
[Verse]
Am Em Am Em
Welcome stranger to the show
Am Em Am C G D
I'm the one who should be ly-ing low
Am Em Am Em
Saw the knives out, turned my back
Am Em
Heard the train coming
Am C G D
stayed right on that track
[Chorus]
F C
In the middle, in the middle
Em F
In the middle of a dream
Am Em F C
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
G D Am Em
I've done all the dumb things
[Verse 2]
- Same Progression as Verse 1
Caught the fever, heard the tune
Thought I loved her, hung my heart on the moon
Started howling, made no sense
Thought my friends would rush to my defence
[Verse 3]
- Same Progression as Verse 1
And I get all your good advice
Never stops me from going through these things twice
I see the knives out, I turn my back
I hear the train coming, I stay right on that track
[Verse 4]
Am Em F C
I melted wax to fix my wings
Am Em F C
I threw my hat into the ring
Am Em F C
I thought that I just had to sing
G D Am
I've done all the dumb things
[Outro]
Em Am Em Am Em Am C G D
Ends with single strum of Am
Enjoy!
