Take the Bench - Sloan

Tabbed by Adam Bishop

I have now fixed up the tab for the one guitar 
playing the power chords.  I still haven’t bothered 
to figure out the riffs on the second guitar in the \
six years since I originally tabbed this out...

E5

    E5
You played those notes a year ago
                         B5
But nobody ever seems to mind
          A5       E5
You're so sweet

Upon request from her dad
She takes a seat at center stage
And starts to play

E5         G#5              C#5        B5
When she's done we take our roles as assigned
C#5        B5
A few kids whine
    A5         E5
But everyone behaves

   B5                    D5
So take the bench little girl
              A5                  E5
And sing your little heart out
    B5                 D5
The fact the notes are right
        A5             E5
Doesn't mean she's any feeling

This year yields something new
A reason for the downcast eyes
The buttoned lip

The irony that rings so true
Is in the corner holding hands
They play the keys

(Whenever this next part is played again, it uses these 
chords, slightly different from the first time)

    E       G#5          C#5           D5
The boy the kids and the adults alike
            C#5       D5
Remain, the teenagers laugh
   A5             E5
At pure precociousness

So take the bench little girl
And sing your little heart out
Take note the facts are right
But she hasn't any feeling
         B5           D5    E5
We'll be appealing

Upon request from her mom
She takes a seat at center stage
And starts to cry

E5    B5    D5    A5  (x4)

Take the bench little girl
And sing your little heart out
Take the bench little girl

End on A5
