NOT THE SAME                  BEN FOLDS

KEY OF C


 4    4  -4 -4   4     4    -4 -4
You took a trip and climbed a tree

-2b -5  5    5   -4   -5  5
At rob-ert sled-ge’s par-ty

 4    4    -4   -4     4    4   -4   -4
And there you stayed 'till morn-ing came

-2b  -5   5   5   -4  -5   5  -4  -4
And you were not the same af-ter that

 4   4    -4   -4   4  4  -4   -4
You gave your life to je-sus christ

-2b -5  5   5   -4     -5     5   -4
And af-ter all your friends went home

 4    4   -4    4    4   -4   -4
You came down, you looked a-round

-2b  -5   5   5   -4  -5   5  -4  -4
And you were not the same after that

  4  4  -5   5   5   -4  -5   5  -4  -4
(ah ah)You were not the same af-ter that

  4  4  -5   5   5   -4  -5   5  -4  -4
(ah ah)You were not the same af-ter that

(CHORUS)

 4   4    5   5    5   5  5
You see 'em drop like fl-ies 

 -4   4    -4    5  -4   -4
from the bright sun-ny skies

  4    4    6    5   5   5   5
They come knock-ing at your door 

 -4    4   -4   5   -4   -4
with this look in their eyes

   4    4   6    5    5    -4    4    -4   5
You’ve got one good trick and you’re hang-ing 

-4    4    -4   5  -4  4  4
on you’re hang-ing on to it

VERSE 3 SAME AS 2
You took the word and made it heard
And eased the people’s pain and for that
You were idolised, immortalised
And you were not the same after that
Walking tall, you'd bought it all
And you were not the same after that
Till someone died on the waterslide
And you were not the same after that

(CHORUS)

  -6  -6  -6  -6    -5   5   5   -4  -5   
(ooh ooh ooh ooh) (you were not the same!)

(CHORUS TO END)

ENJOY!!!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
