No Waterboys in the ESD - yet :shock:
Not a single tab for this one on the net either

Suddenly I felt an urge to sing it :roll: :lol:
So I just had to transcribe it.
I haven't worked a lot on it - but this should be roughly right - corrections are very welcome.

The same four chords go throughout most of the song. One bar with [am D], one bar with [C em7/B]
The only hard part about it (OK - there is one barre chord too) is syncing the chords to the lyrics. If you know the song it should be possible. I've tried to write it as clear as possible below:

And here - All the chords I give you:
am x02210
D (Ok you know this one) x00232
C x32010
em7/B x20030
F 133211 or x33211
G 320003
All the things she gave me - Waterboys


Intro

am D | C em7/B |
Verse
am D |C em7/B |am D |

all the things

|C em7/B |am D|

all the things she gave me

|C em7/B |am D |

All the things

|C em7/B |am D | C em7/B |

all the things she gave me
 am D

I wrapped them up

C em7/B

in a big brown box

am D

Tied it with ribbon

C em7/B

drove to the docks

am D

Checked my time

C em7/B

by the old town clock
All the things...
I saw the watchman

he was blowing into

Cupped hands

as he walked to the car

He said "Where do you think

you're drivin' to, Son?

All good folks are in bed

and a day's work is done"
I said "I'm just looking for

someplace to burn

All the things

all the things that she...
 Chorus:
C F

All the things that she gave me

D

where do I put them?

G

Where can I hide them

C F

All the things that she gave me

D

where do I put them?

G

where I won't have to see them?"
(Back to verse progression)
(Instrumental)
It's dark as hell here

this city's grown cold

The devil's in drag

playing poker with souls

The lots are all empty

the last man is out

The moon's made of cheese

and God is a boy scout
When I go to sleep

I'll be dreaming about

All the things...
Then I'll dream about churches

with great tall spires

Cathedrals and candles

chimneys and choirs

I'll dream about THAT place

Where I set fire

all the things

All the things that she...
Chorus again
