The Way We Get By Spoon
Well no one seems to be getting the chords on this right, so I might as well try to
fix things. I've studied a bunch of chord theory, so I think this is just about right.
[A]We get high in backseats [Fmaj7]of cars
[A]We break into mobile [Fmaj7]homes
[A]We go to sleep to shake [Fmaj7]up you
[A]And then wake up on our [Fmaj7]own
CHORUS

Way we ge[Fmaj7]t by

[A]And that's the way we [Fmaj7/A]get by
[A]That's the way we[Fmaj7/A] get by
[A]We found a new kinda dance in a [Fmaj7]magazine
[A]Try it on, it's like nothin' you've [Fmaj7]ever seen

[A]You bought a new bag of pot
[Fmaj7]So let's make a new start
CHORUS
[Am]And that's the way we get [Fmaj7]by

I rate this tab as a novice tab because all of these chords should be fairly
straightforward. The only chords that might be slightly confusing are Fmaj7
and the chords that have a slash between two letters (i.e. Am/G). A major 7
chord is fairly easy to figure out, you basically take a 7 chord and play the
7th up a half step. And the root chords (Am/G) are about as straightforward as
they get. If you're playing guitar, just play the first chord (Am). If you're
playing piano, play some form of the first chord in your right hand and some
form of the second in your left (octaves and fifths work best). And lastly,
if you're playing bass, play the second chord listed (G).
