From: Pat Wildt
I Spoke as a Child
By: Todd Snider
Guitar arrangement for recording of vocal w/ piano accompaniment.
When changing from G to Em, walk the base line down from the
G note (3rd fret low E or 1st string), to F# (2nd fret 1st string)
to open 1st string (E note)
G Bm C G
Everyone has days like I'm having
C G D
Holdin on to anything that I can
G Bm C G
To keep myself from anything but laughing
C G D
Looking back as far as I can stand
C D G
Out my window winter is almost over
Em C G D
I can almost see the sun behind these clouds
C D G Em
Lookin' back on where I was one year ago today
C D G
Laughing at the shape I'm in now.
Chorus:
D C G
When I was a child I spoke as a child
C G D
But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
C D G
Now growing up it ain't anything but all
Em C
This indecision with these debts and doubts
D
And worries hanging over my head
C D G Em
When I was a child I spoke as a child
C D G
I wish I could remember what I said
I'd like to find that old time feelin'
Somewhere in between what I've become
Somewhere down the line it must have seemed appealing
So I suppose that it must work for some
But I wanna go back to going crazy
Believing every word that I was told
You know sometimes growing up I think I'm getting wiser
And then other times I think I'm getting old
Chorus:
When I was a child I spoke as a child
But all I heard was how I should get ahead
Now growing up it ain't anything but all this
Indecision with these debts and doubts and
Worries hangin' over my head
When I was a child I spoke as a child
I wish I could remember what I said
When I was a child I spoke as a child
God I wish I could remember what I said
I think it's a B7 sort of chord rather than Bm. Also I think it's better capo on second but that may be personal preference. Other than that well done, glad to see some-one else who likes Todd Snider!
ACTUALLY Todd uses capo 2nd live. :D
