10000 Maniacs - Eat For Two Ver.2 guitar tab

Eat for Two by 10,000 Maniacs

from the album 10,000 Maniacs Unplugged

This is definitely one of the hardest songs I've ever learned to play.

Best of luck

with it!

It's difficult because of the chords :

Fm      XX3111

Eb/G    XX3121

Eb      X43121

Cm      X3554X

Ab      466544

Db/F    X43121

Bbm7    X1312X

C7      X32310

Definitely not a three chord song!

there's also this Fm7omit3rd chord : XX354X

Intro Fm7omit3rd

          Fm                  Eb/G  Eb         Cm                     Ab

Db/F

        Oh, baby blankets and baby shoes, baby slippers, baby spoons, walls

of baby

        Db   Fm            Eb/G  Eb        Cm              Ab  Db/F     Db

        blue.  Dream child in my head is a nightmare born in a borrowed bed

              Ab    Cm                      Bbm7      Db     Ab

        Now I know, lightning strikes again.              It struck me once,

      Cm               Bbm7  Db         Ab                 Bbm      C7

        then struck me dead.   My folly grows inside of me          I

       Fm                                                Fm7omit3rd

        eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now.

        Fm                                         Fm7omit3rd

        eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now.

(the next verses follow this same pattern of chords so I'm only going to

type out the

lyrics)

        Well, the egg man fell down off his shelf

        All the good king's men with all their help

        Struggled 'til the end

        For a shell they couldn't mend

        You know where this will lead

        to hush and rock in the nursery

        for the kicking one inside of me.

        I eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now

        I eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now

        When the boy was a boy, and a girl was a girl

        and they found each other in a wicked world

        strong in some respects but she couldn't stand for the way he begged

        And gave in.  Pride is for men.

        Young girls should run and hide instead.

        Risk the game by taking dares with "yes"

        Eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now.

        eat for two, walk for two, breathe for two now

        Fm7

Fm7omit3

        Walk for two?   I'm stumbling.  Breathe for two?  I...I can't breathe.

                          Fm7

        I can't breathe

        Fm                         no chord

        Five months, how it grows, five months now, I begin to show.
