Life Floats By
by The Jayhawks
From Smile
(Gary Louris/Marc Perlman)

Chords transcribed by Warren Owen ( wozza@altcountrytab.com )
From the AltCountryTab.com website which rather surprisingly
can be found at www.altcountrytab.com

Notes: Well me and the acoustic were a little baffled by this.
It doesn't lend itself to easy translation.... The verse parts
seem to be just E with Gary riffing away over the top. You could
try playing E A for the main verse parts, E C#m for the "Thunder
Bay" type sections.. Not saying that's on the record but it works
with the melody line. Anyone able to add more... you know where I am

[E]Abuse me and confuse me
But never,never,never use me
You leave me so tired
So utterly uninspired

[E]Thunder Bay was a drag baby
Thunder Bay was a drag baby

Upon the gravel and dust
If I don't move I will rust
You're a faint recurring melody
I can't seem to recall

[A]In my mind, in my soul
[C#m]I never really loved [E]you
[A]In my mind, in my soul
[C#m]I never really loved [E]you

The sun shines off the powerlines
And the trees they wave me on
There's a black cloud of happiness
I can't finish what I've begun

We hit Duluth on a jag baby
We hit Duluth on a jag baby

I grab my coat, my hat, and my paperback
From the corbner of me eyes
I see you smile

[A]In my mind, in my soul
[C#m]I never really loved [E]you

I [B]hear what they're [E]saying
There's [B]no use in [E]praying
So [B]I'll just [E]slip [B]away

[A]In my mind, in my soul
[C#m]I never really loved [E]you
[A]In my mind, in my soul
[C#m]I never really loved [E]you
