as often as you wondered you carried too much     weight

when bayliss says weight they go into this chord progression (Gm7+11, C, Gm7+11, C, 
F  repeat.....listen and play to catch rythym)

on 4th time after Gm7+11 go back to the 'breathe......easy' part for the joel jam and 
use the first 2 chords for 2 bars then drop a fret for 2 bars like so......

--x----x----x----x--     now drop a half sstep           --x----x----x----x--
--4----3----4----3--                                     --3----2----3----2--

Tab by Eric S

This is the updated version, with props to Pimp Daddy Jay P and TK
for starting it off.

        Bm7

  |-------------7-------7---------------7-------7-------|
  |-------------7-------7---------------7-------7-------|
  |-5h7---------------------5h7---------------------5h7-|
  |-----7-7---------------------7-7---------------------|

    A6                      C               Bb
  |-------------------------------------------------|
  |-------------------------------------------------|
  |---------6-------6-------5-------5-------7-------|
  |---------4-------4-------5-------5---------8-----|
  |---------------------------------------------8---|
  |-5-5---------------------------------------------|

Play that over the verses, then go into this part,
it used to be played like this, using the main Bm7 riff
transposed to other chords, and in a heavier style...

  |: Am7 > Gm7 > G#7 :|

But now they play it like this, more jazzy style...

  |: Am7 > Gm7 :|

This is what I guess you might call the chorus...

  |: Cm7 > F > Bb > F > Bb :|

Then some jammage...

  |: Bb > C > Bb > C > Bb > F :|

This is the basic riff played over that last part...

  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |-5h6p5---------------5h6p5-6/8---------------------|
  |-------7-5-----------------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|

  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |-5h6p5-------5--------5h6p5-6/8--------------------|
  |-------7-5-7---5-----------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|
  |---------------------------------------------------|

Do that chorusy part and the jammage after it twice, then this...

  |: Cm7 > Bm7 :|

And back to the beginning

At the very end play this chord...
