Hey, the other tabs I ve found for this song were all wrong, and I really wanted to
it, so I listened and played along with the album. The strumming isn t too tricky. Just
to the song.
âSmileâ by The Jayhawks
Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
Intro: F (strum twice)
Wake up, put your shoes on
Take a breath of the northern air
And rub those eyes
Genuflect beneath the starry skies
Before you climb the mountain
First the foothills must appear
Step high and light
And take up your staff and shining armor
(Chin up, chin up)
You don t really have a problem
(Chin up, chin up)
In your hour of despair
And smile when you re down and out
(Find something inside you)
Smile when you re down and out
(Find something inside you)
Smileâ¦
The stars on the horizon
Stretch as far as the eyes can see
They represent the souls of those like you and me
And smile when you re down and out
(Find something inside you)
Smile when you re down and out
(Find something inside you)
Smileâ¦
Instrumental break is same progression as verse
(Chin up, chin up)
You don t really have a problem
(Chin up, chin up)
In your hour of despair
And smile when you re down and out
(Find something inside you)
[Sky is falling down]
Smile when you re down and out
(Find something inside you)
[Sky is falling down]
And smile when you re down and out
(Find something inside you)
[Sky is falling down]
Smile when you re down and out and out and out and out
(Find something inside you)
[Sky is falling down]
(Find something inside you)
[Sky is falling down]
(Find something inside you)
[Sky is falling down]
Outro: F (strum twice)
