Burn To Shine.

For this track from the last album, you have to use an electric guitar with overdrive...image

Ben Harper : "The sentence "Funny things you learn from your mama, like the way you throw your head back when swallowing pills" waq inspired by a poetry book entitled "If I put my hands lightly over your eyes" écrit par Terri Phillips. The orginal text was : "It's strange the things you learn from your mother, like the way to throw your head back when you're swallowing pills".

I offer you the tab in two formats now : with guitar-pro( for the ones who don't know guitar-pro : click here for a trial version ) and under a picture format. Several pgaes for uploading questions.

The guitars are tuned normally, as well as the bass. The tempo is 133.

With guitar-pro : Burn to shine (37 Ko). The bass is on the third track. See the bass tab under a pciture format : Burn to Shine-bass.

Lyrics :

We made love until we cried and cried ourselves to laughter
Laughed until we realise our hearts were struck were fear
How in just a moments time could one see for ever after
I gently lie beside of you and dream away with my tearsimage

Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
It's strange the things you learn from your mother,
like the way to throw your head back when you're swallowing pills
Funny things you learn from your papa
like when you're talking you just can't keep your hands still
But that was now and this is then It never lasts for long
How I miss the good old days but I'm so glad they're gone
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
I'd like to spend the time that you would like to spend with me
So you could help me out with my dependancy
'Cause I'm hoplessly addicted addicted to your sorrow
Makes me never wanna work, beg or borrowimage

Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
