CAPO 2

 	 C 	       Cmaj9 	 Am
I was walking down the street with Jesus and James Dean
   F 	  	  	  	    G
A man yelled he's back again, and everybody screamed
    C 	  	    Cmaj9 	       Am 	 
But no one noticed Jesus in his sandals and all
     F 	  	  	  	     G
Everybody went for Jimmy except a reverend named Paul

Father Paul got on his knees and asked forgiveness for his sins
Jesus just said "I didn't know that was him," and with a grin
He took off running down the street towards the crowded scene
And he asked for Jimmy's autograph
Said he loved him since his teens

He said, 
 	    F 	       G 	  	  	  	 C       Cmaj9 	 
"Well it's all in the way that you walk if you don't draw attention then 
   Am
nobody's gonna talk...
 	      F 	  	  	 G 	  	         C
...if you're in your room alone, or at a crowded fair, I'll be there."

Father Paul and I just stood there in the empty streets
There was no one to console, and nowhere to preach
So we went back to the church to tell the others what we'd seen
We opened the door, and it was just a movie screen

Everyone was there with there popcorn and mountain dew
So we bought a couple tickets
And some snacks and found a pew
When I looked up they were showing "Rebel Without a Cause"
And the last thing I remember it was over, and there was one big applause


He said, 
"Well it's all in the way that you walk if you don't draw attention then nobody's gonna talk...
...if you're in your room alone, or at a crowded fair, I'll be there."

...if you're in your room alone, or at a crowded fair, I'm there."

"If you're alone in you're room or at a crowded fair, I'll be there..."

Hey, man, I dig it. I play it without the capo. Just seems to fit my voice better. You said that was your first time? Good job! Now, do some more!! Thanks.

Great tab. I think you might want to add that he keeps his pinky of the the high e third fret thruought out the song. I haven't done any tabs myself so try it and see what you think. Also, instead of a Cmaj7, I'm rocking it with a finder on 2nd fret A string and of course the third fret high e string. All capo 2 of course like you said. Much props and hopefully I will get the guts to try and tab one out myself soon.
