tab: "duck and cover" by glen phillips
trancsribed by michael mazur

chorus:

one way or another, we'll all need each other
nothing's gonna turn out the way you thought it would
but friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover
cause everything comes out the way it should

verse: (guitar enters on a D chord before verse begins)

D                Dsus4      Dsus2          D
someone's in the back yard, banging on the door

D             Dsus4            Dsus2   D
daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more

D                 Dsus4   Dsus2      D
his baby's curled up on a stranger's floor

C(x32013)                                          D       Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
mama's thinking family dinners weren't too much to ask for


prechorus:

A                      Em
everybody here's got a story to tell

G                        D
everybody's been through their own hell

        A                         Em
there's nothing too special about getting hurt

        G                              D  Dsus2
getting over it, that takes the work


chorus:

          C
cause one way or another, we'll all need each other

D               Dsus2
nothing's gonna turn out the way you thought it would

    D           Dsus4 D Dsus2     D        Dsus4 D Dsus2
but friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover

      C                        G             D
cause everything comes out the way it should


verse:

blessed are the hungry, blessed are the weak
blessed are the humble, blessed are the meek
blessed are the ones on the other side
blessed are we for just being alive

prechorus:

one day i stopped wanting anything at all
the heavens opened up like a waterfall
no use in worrying about when it ends
just for now be thankful for what i get

chorus:
          C
cause one way or another, a man's gonna suffer

   Dadd4(x54035)
it makes no difference the way you wanted it
but friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover
cause everything comes out the way it should in the end


prechorus:

seems like life is a palindrome
you cry when you die, you cry when you're born
in between it's all about the ups and downs
add 'em all together, they cancel each other out

chorus:

          C
cause one way or another

    Dadd4
one way or another

          C
you won't get what you wanted

                       Dadd4
you'll get enough, for sure

    C
one way or another

       G
winter pays for the summer

      C
won't get what you wanted

                   D
what you got'll be good


verse:

someone's in the back yard, banging on the door
daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more
his baby's curled up on a stranger's floor
mama's thinking happy endings weren't too much to ask for
