Subject: TAB:   Have a Little Faith in me, by John Hiatt

The changing chord shapes and progessions in this song really make you
understand why it should be played on the piano rather than the guitar,
but dammit, this is RMMGT and OLGA, not RMMPT and OLPA.

This should sound like something vaguely resembling what's on the CD.
Note that the lyrics are not properly lined up in synch with the tab,
and I suspect that the timing on "0 24 5 7" and "0 242 6" is a little
off.  So, don't take it too literally or you'll end up looking like
a musician in a Japanese Godzilla movie.

For further assistance, buy the CD, and listen to the song.  All will
be clear, and you'll get 9 other really good songs as a bonus.


"Have a Little Faith in Me", by John Hiatt, from the album "Bring the

         And you can no longer see
         Let my love throw a spark baby
         And have a little faith in me

         And when the tears you cry
         Are all you can believe
         Just give these loving arms a try
         And have a little faith in me.     Have a little

When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darlin', from a whisper start
To have a little faith in me

And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you will see
I will catch, I will catch your fall, baby
So have a little faith in me

  return, Just for you to have a little faith in me


  You see time, time is our friend, 'Cause for us there is no end
  And all you gotta do is have a little faith in me

  I said I will hold you up, I will hold you up,
  Cause your love gives me strength enough so have a little faith in
me.
