#This is a remarkably easy song of off Sister Hazel's fantastic second album,
#Fortress. I know for a fact that the basic chords are right, but they may have
#some variations here and there of the regular chord. Listen to the song to get
#the strumming and change pattern, especially between the F and C in the verses.

There is alot of solo work and riffs going on throughout the entire song.
Being a singer and not an fantastic guitarist, I can't figure them out,
and if I could, I wouldn't be able to play them and sing at the same time.
I'm sure they're not hard for someone who can play lead.
Intro: G Am F C G
Verse 1:
G
It's bitter -
Am
It tastes alot like winter.
F C G
And will it, release me?
G
So heavy -

How much more to bring down the levy
F C G
And kill me? Don't kill me.
Chorus:
G D Em
I've been stayin' high.
C G DEC
And I've been feeling sorry for myself.
G D Em
And I've been ressurecting my,
C G DEC
My fortress to protect myself.
Verse 2:
G
Shattered -
Am
Tired, beaten, worn down and tattered and
F C G
Can you even hear me?
G
What do you expect out of me?

I'm being buried alive and screaming,
F C G
Can't you see - oh, can't you see me?
Chorus:

I've been stayin' high.

Verse 3:
G
Weary -
Am
My hands slapped I'm cautious and leary
F C G
of tryin' - oh but I'm tryin'
G
How am I to figure it out?
Am
All along I've been kicking around
F C G
Without my home, yeah - I'm so lost, so lost.
Chorus:
G D Em
I've been stayin' high.
C G DEC
And I've been feeling sorry for myself.
G D Em

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na...
Naturally you're playing this song for a big crowd of people. Get them to
sing some "na na na's" for ya. Great song. Even better band.
I hope you enjoy this tab. I know that it's hard to find the lesser known
Sister Hazel tabs around. If I feel motivated I might get the rest of the
CD done that isn't posted yet.
Adios!
