But Anyway

Subject:blues traveler/but anyway

Corrected by: Richard Arends

This is a correction to the rythm part tabbed before. It's played a little

jazzy, so feel free to improvise the rythm and spice it up with some palm

muting.

Lyrics:

I lied and told her I loved her

she didn't care but anyway

I told her we'd still be friends

and she didn't care but anyway

I tried last week for to call her

she wasn't home but anyway

I think I'll spend my life alone

I really don't care right now but anyway

=09it's a state of affairs

=09and a state of emotions

=09the kind of thing you must

=09understand

=09I tell you one thing

=09you'll tell me another

=09we walk away

=09maybe then shake hands

I'm quitting cigarette smoking

it's bad for me but anyway

I don't think the TV was joking

when it told me this but anyway

the newsman said not to sit on

strange toilet seats

it's my life he's trying to save but anyway

I found out that I got eye cancer

too many television waves but anyway

=09chorus

some day an anser will find us

quite a long shot but anyway

I think the past is behind us

be real confusing if not but anyway

I put all my hope in tomorrow

it's gonna be great I can tell but anyway

I see a new day a dawning

I like to sleep late, oh well, but anyway

=09chorus

Please contact me if I have made any mistakes.

peace
