My apologies to Ian MacNaughtan - I couldn't find your email address to send you these corrections. I pretty much just fixed the lyrics. The tabs were fine...

This is a great song by the Hip. Never recorded, circa 1989-1990.


Intro. A - B - A - B - C - A - G - D - E.


Verse one:

C               D             G D C           D             G       D
  What's the deal with your dad?    He don't even know my name.
C         D                G         C
  Didn't know he’d been back, Didn't know he’d been mad,
                            D
  No one stayed to share the blame.

C          D             G D C            D               G D
  I didn't mean to do that.    She won't even come around.
C        D            G         C                                 D
  Everytime I look back, Didn't realize that, I was better off than now


Chorus:
G         D                       C G         D                 A         C
  Mothers came and cried for Abel.    Brother Cain survived the century's end.
G         D           A              E              G             A        E    
  All the time that I thought was my friend, Be all right till we get back again.


Verse two:

Heaven knows you all right, and they will never drag you down.

There ain’t time to lose sight. Getting lost in the light

Is more that never being found.


Chorus:

Mothers came and cried for Abel.    Brother Cain survived the century's end.

All the time that I thought was my friend, Be all right till we get back again.


Bridge:

C                  D     G             D                C
  I never could go back,   and I could never leave my home.
C                              D
  Why’d they change a face like that?
G        C              G         C                 G       C                D 
  If I'd never seen ya,   I could always dream that  I'd be better off alone.

Chorus:

Mothers came and cried for Abel.    Brother Cain survived the century's end.

All the time that I thought was my friend, Be all right till we get back again.

G                    A              E
  Be all right till we get back again.
G                    A              E
  Be all right till we get back again.
