Haiku Tally Hall
I did this tab because the other one is completely wrong. Im still trying to fix the
problems (mostly the chords in the chorus), and also figure out the picking in the
other than that, its correct. listen to the song to find out which chords are played on
octave, because that gets confusing. (pay attentions to the astricks ******)
good luck.

I [Em7]have been trying
To wri[C]te a hai[D]ku for you[Em7]
Som[C]e things I jus[D]t can’t do
M[Em7]aybe you’re beyond[C]
Ancient a[D]sian poetry[Em7]
O[C]r maybe i[D]t’s just me
I[Em7] have been trying
To ge[C]t this haiku[D] just rig[Em]ht all nigh[A]t
For you[Em]; alrigh[A]t I’m t[C]hrough
M[Em7]aybe this poem
Was lost[C] in the sauce[D] we spilled[Em7]
Tha[C]t never go[D]t refilled
I[Em7]’ve never thought much
Of formu[C]laic ver[D]se anyway[Em7]
An[C]d rhymes are n[D]ot my forte
I[Em7] have been trying
To ge[C]t this haiku[D] just rig[Em]ht all nigh[A]t
For you[Em]; alrigh[A]t I’m t[C]hrough
