Dogwood - Preschool Days guitar tab

"Preschool Days" By Dogwood

Tabbed By Eric Exley

Verse 1:

E* D# C#

E* D#-E*-D#-E*

All the things I've seen couldn't prepare me for what I was about to

experience

D# C#

E* D#-E*-D#-E*

As a little boy, growing up in a world, made for all the big kids and the

big toys...

D#

C# E*

Sometimes, I'd sit around and wait, play with my toy cars, until the

wheels would turn no more,

D# E* D# E* D#

C#

then I'd think to myself... is my dads car coming home or will this be

another night, my mom,

E*-D#-E* D#-E* C#

my brother and I, tucking ourselves in?

RIFF 1: play it during the chorus where it says (Riff 1)

D--4-2-1-2-1--D

A----------------A

Chorus:

C# B

(Riff 1) G# A

I learned my alphabet to spell dad, how quickly dad turned to sad, in my

preschool days, and the

C#

B (Riff 1) G#

rest of my life. My mother did the best that she could, my brother

stayed as strong as he stood, a

A

father figure to me, my preschool days.

Verse 2:

E* D#

C#

I remember all the times mom cried, my brother stayed strong by her side,

and I would stand and

E* D# E* D#

E* D#

wonder why there was three when there should be four. Maybe my dad got

lost driving home

C#

E* D#-E*-D#-C#

and then again it wouldn't make sense, I feel alone.

(CHORUS)

RIFF 2: play this during the break

D--------9-7-6-------9-7-6------7-6------------------D

A---7-7---------9-9---------7-7------9-7-7-6-7-6-7---A

E----------------------------------------------------E

Break:

So where has he been? He's running out of time. I haven't heard from

him. I hope he's doing fine. Money cannot buy years of missing them.

Daddy gave it up, the kids forgave him.
