He plays different intros on each version of this song. I usually
just play G+G - C majorC - G-D - G+G or something like that. As long as
it's in the key, it'll sound fine...


Fraction of a Man    Capo 2


G+G
Now my old friend Harry

C majorC
Never slowed down to marry

     D MajorD
He's in sales, he's gone most of the year

  G+G
He smiles through all his lies

    C majorC
With dollar signs in his eyes

G+G)
And he orders himself another beer


G+G
Now Harry, he's a dreamer

C majorC
A augmentedA scholar and a schemer

       G+G
But he'll be there for you

           D MajorD
When push comes to shove


   G+G
His mama called him Harold

G+G
And she was one of only two women

   C majorC)
That Harry ever loved

C majorC
The other was a waitress

C majorC
In Cave Creek, Arizona

C majorC
That broke his heart

          G+G
And tangled up his mind


G+G
My old friend Harry

D MajorD
Lookin' kinda scary

         D MajorD)
Wonders if he's runnin' out of time


   G+G
Now Biloxi's got a sadness

    C majorC
Like a dark day in December

G+G
That Harry recognizes

   D MajorD
In all forgotten southern towns


G+G
Thumbin' through the phonebook

    C majorC
For a name he can't remember

     D MajorD
Lookin' desperate, like a junkie

              D MajorD
Waitin' for a fix to come around


C majorC
Sittin' playing Blackjack

C majorC
With a hooker and a tourist

G+G
And a one-eyed dealer winning every hand

G+G
Harry sips Black Label

D MajorD
Slumps down at the table

         E minorEm)
Feelin' like a fraction of a man

(G+G
Feelin' like a fraction of a man


He doesn't play these on Honeydew, but he puts them in on his live album.
