KILLING JAR By Richard Thompson From the FFKT album "Invisible Means" Transcribed By Rich Kendrick (Richard.Kendrick@student.shu.ac.uk) Webmaster of The RT TAB Archive When playing the song live, RT capos at the second fret and drops the sixth string down to D. This gives a more drony sound. The simple Chord Shapes are: DADGBE Dm 0*0231 F 333*** G 555*** INTRO: Dm........F-Dm-F F My father was a judge, A solitary man, Dm He beat me to cry, With the back of his hand. F I played with my sisters, He said I played to rough, Dm It seems to me son, I didn't beat you enough. G No good________ Dm They said i'm no good G No good________ Dm They said son your no good I went for my schooling, and I faced the wall, "Tommy Burns" said the Teacher, can you hear me at all. I sweep out the hallways, and I sweep out the grounds, And the boss he tells me, that I'm late on my rounds. No good________ They say i'm no good No good________ They say i'm no good GUITAR SOLO 1 I once had a songbird, with a broken wing, I cried and cried, oh it never would sing I once had a songbird, the apple of my eye, I put it in the Killing Jar, Just to watch it die. I once had a sweetheart, caught her running around, I hit her with a log chain, and I put her in the ground. I once had a sweetheart, Oh a pretty little thing, I knelt in her cold grave, and I took back my ring. |No good________ |They say i'm no good x4 No good________ I'm no good GUITAR SOLO 2/OUTRO
