BACK ON MY FEET AGAIN by The Babys #33 US in 1979
INFO: This tab is for solo acoustic guitar and touches on the
main instruments of the song. It is not specifically a guitar
or bass tab. Practice along with recording and you will pick
it up quickly. The INTRO riffs are played for the verse as well
but you'll need to break away from the piano part and hit the
A,G#m,F#m,G#m etc.,etc.,(See the lyrics for chord placement)
We always get a comment after playing this like "Forgot
all about this song" or "What was that song?" Hey, if radio
isn't going to play good forgotten hits, it falls upon us.

Back On My Feet Again by the Babys INTRO riffs
INTRO riffs
I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I’d get by without love
INTRO riffs
Drownin’ my sorrows, avoiding tomorrows
Kind of felt that I just had enough
INTRO riffs
You light up my face with your jokes and your smiles
A G#m F#m
And the way that you came here tonight
G#m INTRO riffs
Don’t know what you got, but I’m sure glad I found you
F#m E D/////////
Could be wrong but it sure feels right
CHORUS Synth Riff
And here I am I’m back on my feet again
CHORUS Synth Riff
Here I am I’m back on my feet again
INTRO riffs
Surprised at myself for the way that I feel
A G#m F#m
So happy that you’re here with me
G#m INTRO riffs
Some women I’ve known have left me with nothing
F#m E D
But I guess that was just meant to be
CHORUS Synth Riff
And here I am I’m back on my feet again
CHORUS Synth Riff
Here I am I’m back on my feet again
G D4
I was down for the count
G D4 A
I was down, I was beat, I was cryin’
G D4
I was cornered and hurt
G D4 A
I was hidin’ my face, sick of tryin’
