Mason Jennings

Tabbed by George O.
Ok, here is a tab off Mason’s newest album, The Flood. It’s not perfect, but it’s
I don’t have the patience to tab it out perfectly right now… Please comment with any suggestions!
Like most of Mason’s songs, this one is tuned 1/2 step down.

I awoke in the evening
I was thinking bout you
God knows your neighbors
D
But honey I know you
C G
I just love the way you lay me down
C D
The sweetest days are those we’ve not yet found
D D7
I took the corner with you by my side and
C G C G
You were young but I was younger
C G F E
You were new and I was worn
C G C G
I knew your face and I knew your number
C G F E
I’ve known you since you were born and
F
Gracious hallelujah reigned down from the heavens and you
F
Took my hand and held it as we walked together
F
And sweet glory on the day
F
That I fell in love with you
(Repeat beginning riff)
I was goin to Minnesota
I was on my way
I had made a promise
That I wouldn’t stay
But I just found all that I need
The open road became her open arms
I held on I held on I held on
You were young but I was younger
You were new and I was worn
I knew your face and I knew your number
I’ve known you since you were born and
You were young but I was younger
You were new and I was worn
I knew your face and I knew your number
I’ve known you since you were born and
Gracious hallelujah reinged down from the heavens
Took my hand and held it as we walked together
And sweet glory on the day that I fell in love with you
