Tabbed from her Jewelstock show
(Bearsville Theater, 7/18/96)
Standard Tuning, No Capo, Time Signature & Tempo
are very loose on this song
Chords: C9 = X32033 G* = 320030 D = X00232
C = X32010 C9/B = X20033 C9/A= X00033
G = 320033
Notes: -This song is one of Jewel's shortest and easiest
songs...perhaps one of her most peculiar as well.
-The flow of this song is very kooky, so you just
have to listen to the verse & chorus patterns
and tempos and go with the flow... use those ears!
-On the choruses, she does a walkdown in the bass
notes of the C9 chord...those are notated as C9/B
and C9/A so you know where to place which bass notes.
Intro: Play the pattern below 2X...it's also the pattern
for the verses

There's a man on the front porch, Says he's related to me
But lately I'm find---ing it hard to believe
This house is filled with spooks and ghosts
They say they're family, but they are strangers at most
Chorus: Full strums here, speeds up a bit
D C9 C9/B C9/A G
They're strange fishes of the deep blue sea
D C9 C9/B C9/A G
And absolutely noth - ing like me
D C
They swim around their little treasure chests
D C
When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best
D
But it's hard with all those scales
C
Of good and bad you see
D
They're my fish family
C9
My fish family

They may try and hook me, or put me in a tank
They may try and book me for robbing a fish bank
'cause mis-un-der-stand-ings come ea-si-ly
But they're blowing bubbles, and I can hardly breathe
Chorus 2: Full strums here, speeds up a bit
D C9 C9/B C9/A G
They're strange fishes of the deep blue sea
D C9 C9/B C9/A G
And abso-smurf-ly noth - ing like me

When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best

But it's hard with all those scales

Of good and bad you see
