Roof With a Hole
Written by Curt Kirkwood
Tabbed by: Halvor Wold
Album: Too high to die
Email: Wold.halvor@organizer.net

Repeat

Note: From here on out, the acoustic guitar mostly
improvises along with the chords. Therefore, I think
that it would be pure folly to tab exactly what Curt
played. The electric guitar is very well defined,
however, and has been notated.

Verse 1:

F#m
    Well the colors are flowing
E
    From the wall to the floor
F#m                             E
    And only an outline still remains
               B
    Cause the roofs got a hole in it
     C#  D                 E             F#m
    And everything's been ruined by the rain


Verse 2: Same chords
There may be diamonds
In that dream on the hill
But the people that live there still complain
Cause the roofs got a hole in it
And everything is soaking in the rain

Verse 3: Same chords
No one can practice
Common sense that they see
Through the nickel and diming I'll explain
Well the roof's got a hole in it
And everything is ruined by the rain

Yeah my head's got a hole in it
And everything's been ruined by the rain

	To me, Roof with a Hole is about people in general. Sometimes people have a tendancy to lose their sense of self, either through relationships, or through any natural event. Hence, a roof with a hole, is about your sense of self, and the rain coming in is whatever issues or problems you are trying to deal with at the time. When you have a "roof with a hole" the problems seep in and wash away your sense of self. The second verse applies to trying to get people to realize that it happens to everyone, not just people who have nothing. You could be rich beyond your wildest dreams and still lose your sense of self. Hence, "there may be diamonds in that dream on the hill". The third verse is about, how difficult it is to get a grip of reality and common sense once those problems are coming through and washing away who you once knew to be you. The song is meant to put to words those feelings, thoughts, and sensations.
