Hurricane - Lisa Loeb - Tails

This song always seems to be a work in progress for me (like most of Lisa’s songs), 
but this is pretty close, and sounds good, I think. Feel free to play around with it once 
you’re comfortable with the fingerings.

Capo on the 5th fret

To tell you the truth, I didn't do this tab, it was some chick, but I figured I would put 
it in anyway to help some of you people out cause it's a cool song.

	I KNOW! she's amazing.

	Lisa Loeb is good because she does not narrate all of her songs. instead, she tells stories.

No Picture ian Average	#3 by ian mckinly at Jul 27, 1997 at 2:14 AM EST
	Quote from Lisa Loeb: "It's really cinematic. I like how the strings give it that added sense of desolation and drama. I'm writing from several points of view here. "Hurricane" is about this witchlike woman. The Skeleton Boy on the road has been ravished -- you don't know if it's physically or emotionally -- and he warns the listener about this woman, who will tell you that she can heal your heart. But he's tried her healing, and he knows now the only way to do that is to heal it yourself."
