The tab that up here was in another key or something, and it wasn't even correct in that
key.  I believe, so I figured I'd submit this.  Another simple song
from AJJ, yet surprisingly moving.  Enjoy.
Artist:  Andrew Jackson Jihad
Album:   Only God Can Judge Me
Tabber:  Michael McElligott
Intro:    G(play primarily the bottom three strings, and then once he does a little
sweep of the top strings, just listen).
GI knew a woman once
giving bAmirth to kittens and mice
And Cas you know, with their Emeating habbits
Those pCoor mice had to dDie
So the Gkittens were born
fAmull of their brothers and sisters
And tChey were punished swiEmftly
though they Cdid not know wDhy
EmThey tChought they were Gfood
Emthey did not kCnow what they'd dGone
And GI was a person once
sAmending off unread letters
reCceiving no reEmply
never boCthering asking wDhy
GI had a heart once
Amfull of fire and passion
but the suCmmer took it aEmway from meC  D  
And aEmutumn has cCome to reGtrieve it
AEmutumn has cCome to retrGieve it
And GI was a man once
When AmI was six years old
but nCow I am just a Emboy
pretCentious and brash and bDold
The Gkittens were murdered
Amthrown into burlap sacks
and Cweighted down with rEmocks
in a Criver deep and bDlack
And Emth - eCy went to GHeaven.
EmTh - Cey went to GHeaven.
*End*
*Brief Note*  In the beginning of each verse, when you go from G to Am, then to C
(I knew a woman once...and as you know), during that jump from the Am to the C, the
bass plays A - B - C.  Listening closely to the recording, you can make it out.
If you don't have a bass player and would like to imitate that sound, place a
AC/B chord (a C chord with C in the bass in between Am and C, right before C.
That's all.
I'm tabbing this without a G string on my acoustic, so I hope it sounds fine (shouldn't
make a difference).  Enjoy and keep supporting AJJ...incredible band that shows just
how much simple chords can do.

The tab that up here was in another key or something, and it wasn't even correct in that

key. I believe, so I figured I'd submit this. Another simple song

from AJJ, yet surprisingly moving. Enjoy.

Artist: Andrew Jackson Jihad

Album: Only God Can Judge Me

Tabber: Michael McElligott

Intro: (play primarily the bottom three strings, and then once he does a little

sweep of the top strings, just listen).

I knew a woman once

giving birth to kittens and mice

C Em

And as you know, with their eating habbits

C D

Those poor mice had to die

So the kittens were born

full of their brothers and sisters

C Em

And they were punished swiftly

C D

though they did not know why

Em C G

They thought they were food

Em C G

they did not know what they'd done

And I was a person once

sending off unread letters

C Em

receiving no reply

C D

never bothering asking why

I had a heart once

full of fire and passion

C Em C D

but the summer took it away from me

Em C G

And autumn has come to retrieve it

Em C G

Autumn has come to retrieve it

And I was a man once

When I was six years old

C Em

but now I am just a boy

C D

pretentious and brash and bold

The kittens were murdered

thrown into burlap sacks

C Em

and weighted down with rocks

C D

in a river deep and black

Em C G

And th - ey went to Heaven.

Em C G

Th - ey went to Heaven.

*End*
