                             "A SMART KID" off album "Stupid Dream" (1999)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Les Gibson

Standard tuning

Fantastic song this. The first tab on the site was lacking a lot of stuff, so I thought
I'd do the whole thing with all the parts, from the album version of the song.

--Verses 1 and 2 (1:07):

Intro parts play in verses

Am                 C            G/B
  Stranded here on planet earth
Am                     C              G/B
  It's not much but it could be worse
             F                  E
Everything's free here, there's no crowds

Am              C               G/B
  Winter lasted five long years
Am                  C           G/B
  No sun will come again I fear
           F           E
  Chemical harvest was sown

--Chorus (1:52):

Strummed chords and electric guitar with tremolo effect:

  Dsus2    Am/C     Fmaj7         Dsus2   Am/C      Fmaj7

This is played underneath words:

Dsus4   Am/C           Fmaj7
            And I will wait for you

Dsus4   Am/C          Fmaj7
            Until the sky is blue

Dsus4   Am/C           Fmaj7
            And I will wait for you

Dsus4   Am/C          Fmaj7
            What else can I do?

--Verses 3 and 4 (2:30):

Same chords/guitar parts as verses 1 and 2.


A spaceship from another star
They ask me where all the people are
What can I tell them?


I tell them I'm the only one
There was a war but I must have won
Please take me with you.


--(3:17): strange experimental bit. No real chords.

--Chorus (3:53): same as before.

--Closing solo, over same chords as chorus (4:28)
