Only Human Tabs (chords are listed above lyrics) Remember: This is just the way I do it Main Riff 1 note: hammer on that Chord e-----------5---------------------| B-----------5-----6---------------| G-----------5--------7------5-----| D-----------5--------7------5-----| (Repeat) A-----------5---------------x-----| E--5--8-----5---------------5-----| Before I list the lyrics, there is a tricky part at the end in which I do that same riff start it on 1. I'm going to call it Riff 2 cuz I can't think of anything better. Lol. Riff 2 (It's only at the end when he sings IIIIIIIIII'm Only Human) e-----------1---------------------| B-----------1-----2---------------| G-----------1--------3------3-----| D-----------1--------3------3-----| A-----------1---------------x-----| E--1--4-----1---------------3-----| AND THEN IMEDIATELY BACK TO MAIN RIFF 1 (make sure you're on tempo) Note: All Chords are Bar Chords! (Repeat Main Riff 1 through all of this) A squirrel in the tree is he watching me Does he give a damn? Does he care who I am? I'm just a man, is that all I am Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human? I'm human Murderous crow, hey what you know What you reading about, what you hold in your toes Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece Are you a riddle to solve all along? Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all Only human Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me The planet's talking about a revolution The natural laws ain't got no constitution They've got a right to live their own life But we keep paving over paradise Main Riff 1 (Only do it once) 'Cause we're only human (Bar Chord on the 8th Fret) Yes we are only human If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being Main Riff 1 (Only do it once) Only human Yes we are, yes we are Only human, only human, only human So far... (Repeat Main Riff 1 through all of this) Up in the major's tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy Thinking 1923 Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb What you'll find is the product of a seed The seed is sown, all alone It grows above, with a heart of love Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing We're all breathing in The planet's talking about a revolution The natural laws ain't got no constitution They've got a right to live their own life But we keep paving over paradise Riff 1 'Cause we're only human Riff 2 Yes we are Riff 1 only human If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being Riff 1 Only human Riff2 Yes we are, yes we are Riff1 Only human, only human, only human So far... And this place it will outlive me Before I get to heaven I'll climb that tree And I will have to give my thanks For giving me the branch to swing on If I ever fall in love I'll have to give myself a baby I will let my children have their way Main Riff 1 (Repeat 4x without singing) Riff 1 'Cause we're only human, Riff2 yes we are Riff1 Only human, so far, so far Outro: Main Riff 1 2x
