I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe
Some would say you're left with what you had

Play RIFF C once:

But you couldn't share the pain


Play RIFF B twice:

I said times have changed
Your friends they come and watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hold you down, hold you down
Maybe brother maybe love I didn't mean to treat you bad

Far Behind - Candlebox


Now I am no good at writing tabs or anything, but I sat down and
figured this one out one day and since I haven't seen it in this
newsgroup yet, I thought someone might want to know it... but don't jump
all over me because it's not exactly right, but I think i'm pretty damn
close.


[Main part] w/Chorus Effect

e|-------5---5h7---5-------7-7---------5-5-------------2------------|
B|-------------------------8-8---------7-7--------------3-----------|
G|-----0---0-----0--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------0-----0---------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------0--------------------------------------------|


Now Maybe I didn't mean to treat you bad


e|----------------------0----0---------|
B|-----------------3------3----3-------|
G|--------------0-----------0----0-----|
D|------------2------------------------|
A|--0---2-3----------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|


But I did it anyway... etc..


That's the main part, you just repeat that until you get to the
chorus which is just these chords:

G Em D C9
e|-2-0--2-0-
B|-0-0--3-3-
G|-0-0--2-0-
D|-0-2--0-2-
A|-2-2--x-3-
E|-3-0--x-x-


G Em D
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
C9 G Em
but I did it anyway now maybe some would say you're
D C9
left with what you had but you couldn't share the pain no no no



Sorry, no lead part in this one. Mebbe next time. Layter.
