You're Quiet Tabs

(ver. 1)
Brendan Benson
You’re Quiet by Brendan Benson


Tuning: normal

Intro: this is not on his album but he plays it live and there is a studio recording 
that I used to have of it but I think this is a much better version anyway.

Verse:

A                             D   E
   You're quiet
A                             D   E
   You don't talk
A                             D   E
   You're shut down
A                             D   E
   And closed off
A                             D   E
   You're like me
A                             D   E
   We're the same
A                             D   E
   I'm Brendan
A                             D   E
   What's your name

Chorus:

D         A          E          E
   Been a little bit down on my luck
D              A              E      E
   I think you know where I'm coming from
D           A           E            E
   I need a pick up and I don't mean truck
D              A             E     E
   I think you know where to get some

D     E    Then back into intro

Verse:

A                                        D     E
   You make me
A                                        D     E
   Wanna ask you
A                                        D     E
   A lot of questions
A                                        D     E
   Really Get to know you
A                                        D     E
   I like you
A                                        D     E
   You can tell
A                                        D     E
   I'd like to
A                                        D     E
   Know you well

Then repeat the chorus


Break:

D       E               D         A
   Oh   Oh make up your mind
D               E                     D    A
   Just say the words and ill be your jail bird

Then play the fast strumming part and burst into the intro – play as many times as you want

Outro:
just  AAAA  EE  DD over and over until the end

and sing ‘do do do do do do do’ etc etc

Brendan = legend
