7 Mary 3 - Lame guitar tab
Band: 7 Mary 3
Song: Lame
Album: American Standard
Tuning: Normal - No Capo
Transcribed by Don Kurelich
This song has a pretty basic strum pattern, in the intro and verses
it's essentialy 4 downstrokes on the lower strings with a quick upstroke
at the end of each measure. All the other parts have full strums with
some neat rhythm (a little hammer-on the C sometimes). Listen to it,
you'll know what I mean.

Lame:
Intro: G B* A* (play 2 times)
G B* A*
There's a tall, mulatto, boy I know
G B* A*
And he comes to every party - he stands alone.
G B* A*
In viewing them the rest, the 'corner of his glance, it gets so clear
G B* A* C* C*
He's not, judging anyone.
G B* A*
The way his arms float around his cage, he's caged
G B* A*
Canary sings, silently brings, his voice to rage.
G B*
The way they stop and stare, the way they turn their
A*
heads, it's enough to make him want to run away,
G B* A* C* C*
But he stays, he stands his ground.
(Chorus)
G D C*
And I'm, I'm so damn lame.
G Em* C*
The way I condescend without ever knowing his name.
G D
He keeps it in a box, hangs it from his ear
C*
Looks at everyone without the slightest fear.
G Em* C*
It's makin' me so ashamed.
G B* A* (play 2 times)
G B* A*
Slender body, slip through his glance.
G B* A*
I don't give it a single chance.
G
The way he's rocking back and forth,
B*
makes a buzzin' in my ear,
A*
Constantly reminding me that I never stop to hear
G B* A* C* C*
him say hello, hello.
(Chorus 2)
G D C*
And I'm, I'm so damn lame.
G Em* C*
Like a moth bumpin' off his godless flame.
G D C*
I cannot condescend or even apprehend, what comes over me
G Em* C*
When I see his shameless face.
Em* DaddB A* C*
So rage, please rage, against me
Em* DaddB A* C*
Beat me down, beat me down, forgive me,
Em* DaddB A* C*
For what I've done, I'm so lame, I'm so lame, I'm so lame
Em* DaddB A* C* Em*
So lame, so lame, so lame.
