The Real thing(Warren Haynes) Tabbed by (Derek B.) The verses are for the most part Picked, The chorus, Break are strummed. Am He wore a song around his neck G Like some medal of honor D9 Am He carried his wisdom like a knife Am G An empty pocket was a temporary chain D9addB Knowing you've got it coming Am Ain't no crime Am G Every blue note that rolled off his tongue D9 Am You could feel his soul twisting right in two Am G Nobody knew where he came from (strum)D9 Em7(strum) Ah but everybody knew, everybody knew Chorus: Dm He was the real thing C No doubt about it Dm C G The kind that you remember when they're gone Dm The real thing C Put here for a reason Dm C Dm We knew someday the whole world C Em7 Was going to know his name Am (back to picking) He was the real thing Same chords as verses She whispered in his ear, and he heard the thunder Singing 'bout a world he never knew Head spinning round, he began to wonder Was he made to love her, or born to sing the blues He searched inside him for an answer But all he found was a troubled mind He left her somewhere on the blue highway Oh it wasn't just another love that he left behind Chorus: Dm It was the real thing C No doubt about it Dm C G The kind that you remember when it's gone Dm The real thing C Not like passion's fire Dm C Dm C But a burning, smoldering, eternal flame Em7 It was the real thing Break: F C Em7 And sometimes at night he longs for her whisper F C F C Em7 But he hides from the dawn, 'cause he always wakes to find her gone (Back to picking verses): In some broken down dressing room in some major city The thunder plays an old familiar tune He spies a face of a distant angel Outside, beneath the halo moon Finger on the trigger, needle in the vein One more bullet, it might be your last ride This is ain't no no-show, this ain't no nervous breakdown And it sure as hell ain't the time to let the fool decide This is the real thing No doubt about it Who cares if they love you and you're gone This is the real thing So you were put here for a reason But what gives you the right to quit when you're tired Anyway boy, this ain't no game This is the real thing He wore a song around his neck Like some medal of honor He carried his wisdom like a knife
