what a touching song! i wish it was more than an hidden track, it made me cry -dmack632003 | 9/13/2004 |
Hidden track or not,at least they gave us another beautiful and touching song.Since the first time I saw them way back when they first started out playing bars,these guys are amazing. -lancejoker | 9/28/2004 |
I don't mean to nit-pick, but there is a fairly big lyric error. It is not the coolest surprise, it is the cruelest surprise. Big difference. -tbowers715 | 9/28/2004 |
you're right I didn't have the lyrics when I tab's this... This song really hits hard when hearing it sounds like they wrote it for my daughter... 1 full year in remission!!!!! Thank the LORD!!! -palamin0 | 9/28/2004 |
Can anyone help me figure out the picking pattern or tab it out,I would love to do this song for some people.
-lancejoker | 10/4/2004 |
it wouldn't be "cool surprise" to lose your hair which is what he is refering to... So it would be the "cruelest suprise" -palamin0 | 10/24/2004 |
That makes sense -qujo0301 | 10/26/2004 |
i agree its crulest and also in the end for the last chorus the words are "her very TRUE love is holding her close" Even though it is a very touching song. -SweetThing11028 | 10/28/2004 |
Superb song, and a great tab palamin! :-) -danielcraggs | 12/10/2004 |
this song is awesome no matter if it is a hidden track or not. I'm just glad that they put it on their cd to touch all of us, like it did them. and it's definately Cruelest... coolest wouldn't work, that'd be sad if it said losing her hair was the coolest surprise... -elizabethkay720 | 1/3/2005 |
This is a very touching song, and it made me cry the first time I heard it on the radio. Thank you, palamin0 for posting the chords for this song. It sounds great! -rkdeerecountry7 | 1/18/2005 |
Fairly good job piecing that tab together. I pieced it out myself a few days ago. It is a VERY touching song! You DO have just a few mistakes in the chords used though... The second D following the A in the Chorus is not right (Don't know that name of the chord I use, but from Low E to High E the tab for the chord is o20230). Also, the majority of the bridge is not correct either. Instead of going G,D,G,D... it actually goes Em,D/F#,G,D/F#... and just is a continual walk up then back down. Other than that, it looks good! Anyone who has questions about my corrections, let me know. -jeagle82 | 1/20/2005 |
I always thought that this song was in C. Does anybody else think that??????????? -pizzaman | 2/5/2005 |
ummmm No!!! but play it how you want and the way you want We are guides to help you with your journey:) -palamin0 | 2/7/2005 |
Yeah I think instead of the D in the chorus on the word dreams it's actually a Bm chord. Other than that though great tab! -njsinger | 2/9/2005 |
Also on all but the first pre-chorus instead of the Em7 chord on the last two lines of the phrases it should be a G. -njsinger | 2/9/2005 |
i love this song and i tabed it out when i heard it when the cd came out. i wasnt sure of the chord name but when you play it with the capo on the second fret its like a minor when it says her very first love. when i get my guitar out today ill try to find out the chord structure for it and ill email it to ya. but yeah very very good song and good tab i can always depend on you guys. -blugrass fan | 2/23/2005 |
this song does make me cry every time i hear it. i started listening to it because it could practically be about a girl i know who just found out she has lukemia. and we sang it at our prom, especially the part that says "it would be a mistake for someone to take a girl with no hair to the prom" and the girl wasn't able to come. i am going to play this song for her twin sister, and this tab really helped me learn it in a few mins. thx -avsfan17377 | 6/18/2005 |
hey guys, i was just gonna let you know it is coolest surprise. I seen them in concert in Atlanta and had back stage passes and got to meet them and i asked them about it. This makes the 2nd most touching song by Rascal Flatts.....I am such a huge rascal flatts fan and love all of their music. -cookston | 8/9/2005 |
hey man awesome job on this tab this song is amazing and i cant believe it was a hidden track but great job tabbing this out i love it and im going to being playing this a good bit...also it's "her very first true love it holding her close" but awesome job and thanks for doing this...later -BradyHotard | 9/2/2005 |
hey awesome song it made me think about how much i need to be thankful about my life. Jeremiah 29:11 God Bless You!!! later guys! -jondergrl55 | 9/3/2005 |
doubled checked again...the chords are the way they are charted above.. -palamin0 | 9/5/2005 |
This song is amazing! Im just upset it took me so long to find it on the cd. if anyone know a fingerpicking pattern could you please post it for me. Thanks so much!
-willms17 | 9/12/2005 |
im wondering if the A/G in the last chorus is supposed to be just a G....i dunno just thought it picked up a bit there. -FaronB15 | 9/22/2005 |
im wondering if the A/G in the last chorus is supposed to be just a G....it could be because "true love" is supposed to be there and I played it at True. -FaronB15 | 9/22/2005 |
you can play a "G" chord there or the "A/G" -palamin0 | 9/25/2005 |
To put an end to the coolest/cruelest suprise... the lyrics posted for the song on the Rascall Flatts web site are "cruelest". Nice tab for an amazing song. -pnkflydfan | 9/28/2005 |
My reasoning could be wrong, but it's hard to imagine your hair falling out being the "coolest" surprise.
Anyway, call Rascal Flatts a "boy band", "poptry", or whatever, but anyone that hears this song and doesn't get teary-eyed has a hole where a heart should be. -heyitskane | 10/3/2005 |
BTW Ken, I'm elated to hear that your daughter is doing well. You all will continue to be in my prayers.
Great tab, too :-) -heyitskane | 10/3/2005 |
this is an amazing song. i know someone who is in the same situation (with the cancer) so the first time i heard this song was almost crying (which is huge for me :-)). thanx for making this available. -guitarplaysdrum | 10/7/2005 |
Man good job with the song it is great!im the strongest guy in our school and it made me cry..lol..but great job love it.. -brothertaylor | 10/7/2005 |
Yeah, I have this song on my ipod... and it is cruelest... but you did a outstading job.. if i knew how to play goo then i'd try.. but im still a loser begginer... but this song makes my 15 yr old country girl heart tremble lol .. there aint alot of guys that would do that.. but good job all of you :))
-ChelseaSAG | 10/9/2005 |
wat time is this song in?? -country.babe | 10/14/2005 |
where is it on the cd???
-native250 | 10/15/2005 |
On their newest CD it is hidden after the last track. Just let it keep playing and it will eventually come on. They are re-releasing this CD and Skin has a track all to itself.
-panthers | 10/20/2005 |
I think we all know that losing all your hair would be more cruel than cool. I guess I am the only person on the planet who thought they said "coldest of any surprise". My little sister who was 14 lost her battle with cancer in February. Playing this song is helping me to deal with some emotions. Thanks, PalaminO, for posting this tab. -weffyb | 10/22/2005 |
hey does anyone know the walk thats in the chorus? -fazole | 10/26/2005 |
WOW i always thought it might be "coolist of any supprise" thinking it was refuring to her growing her hair back after she lost it but i always knew it kinda didnt work...but yeah its always been my favorite song even when i got it the first day the cd came out...and was thrilled when they played it at the Smirnoff center in dallas for the first time...NOW ITS ON THE RADIO!!! the people over ruled i guess (i met these 4 times now and cant wait till the next show)they get bigger everytime i see them...its a little different than the first at billy bobs in fort worth(haha) -jacblac101 | 11/9/2005 |
ive met these GUYS*....sry typed to fast for my own good(ive seen them 6 times) once a year :) -jacblac101 | 11/9/2005 |
It's a good song and you were close but your tabs are way off. -yuongblood | 11/11/2005 |
palimin0 is right on with his chords 99% of the time. if you think they're wrong, you must be playing some instrument other than a 6 string -brwilliams69 | 11/11/2005 |
lol... if they are wrong why are you here looking for it then...lol And you haven't submited a thing. -palamin0 | 12/18/2005 |
. -chels3209 | 12/27/2005 |
I'm not sure but the way I play "without any cares" Bm A/C# D/B E sounds like it might be close. It might make it a little crowded. It's just a suggestion. Nice job on the tab though. -kfr12ap | 12/27/2005 |
I think the tabs are excellent I wish i cuuld listen toa song and be able to figure out the chords just by listening to it I can only do that sometime Way to go God Bless and ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!! -crimsontide1 | 12/28/2005 |
I agree with youngblood this ones way off -Urapp | 1/12/2006 |
that is a very sweet song but it is very sad. my best friends and I always sing it we just can't get it out of our heads. -coolcat0395 | 1/30/2006 |
I think that not only was that a sad song but, as I watch the music video I just think about that poor girl. I no that I would cry if that would have happend to me. -coolcat0395 | 1/30/2006 |
The last line where "and her very first true love is holding her"... for the word (close), change to D7 =) Oh also, the last words are (she is *un scared*) -techbrian | 2/16/2006 |
OHHHHH 1000000!!! its the best tab I ever played with my bass -Pascountrygirl | 2/19/2006 |
I very much agree that it is obviously "cruelest", but I want to point out that finding her own hair wouldn't be a surprise. I believe it's the guy's hair, and that's how he's asking her to prom. And to me when he says "the proof that she couldn't deny" it means that it's proof that he truly loves her. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I like to interpret it. -DustInTheShadows | 6/9/2010 |
