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 C9 G* E -----------3-------------------------0------------------ B --------3-----3--(pause)----------------3--(pause)------ G -----0----------------------0-----0--------------------- D -------------------------------------------------------- A --3----------------------3------------------------------ E -------------------------------3------------------------ Verse 1: Play pattern 4X C9 G* E -----------------------3----------------------------0----- B ------------------3----------3--(pause)----------------3-- G --------------0-------------------------0-------0--------- D ---------------------------------------------------------- A -----------3-----------------------3---------------------- E ---------------------------------------------3------------ 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 REPEAT INTRO PATTERN ONCE Verse 2: Play pattern 4X C9 G* E -------------------3----------------------------0--------- B --------------3----------3--(pause)----------------3-(pause) G ----------0-------------------------0-------0------------- D ---------------------------------------------------------- A -------3-----------------------3-------------------------- E -----------------------------------------3---------------- 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 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 G C9 G G My fish family
