Artist: The Refreshments
Song: Fonder and Blonder
Transcribed by: Joe Daly (DissidentJ@aol.com)
* Note below that when the Bm is played, it should be alternated between
strums with a Bm7 (just lift the ol' middle finger off the B string if
you're playing the standard barre chord Bm).
Intro:
D Bm/Bm7* G Em G A (this is also the main progression throughout the song)
D
No more negotiations dear
Bm/Bm7
I'm runnin' out of patience here
G Em
Whisper congratulations in my ear
G A
When it's clear that we got nothin' much left to say
D
The monuments and maps
Bm/Bm7
The skylines and the tourist traps
G Em
Would all do well if they'd collapse
G A
And send you runnin' back here to me
CHORUS
G D
Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"?
G Em
In all the pictures that you send me now
G Em A
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
D
Cars break down
Bm/Bm7
And people break down and
G A
other things break down too
Em
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
G A D
And now I think I'm breakin' down on you
D Bm/Bm7 G Em G A
D
Could you be more specific dear
Bm/Bm7
Tell me what is so terrific here
G Em
Don't be to scientific but make it clear
G A
and never fear I'll be scratchin' it down my nails in clay
CHORUS
G D
Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"?
G Em
In all the pictures that you send me now
G Em A
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
D
Cars break down
Bm/Bm7
And people break down and
G A
other things break down too
Em
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
G A D
And now I think I'm breakin' down on you
G D
Have another sedative It gets so repetitive
G D
And don't do a damn to help me feel O.K.
G D
And all the breath of me here from you and that would be very nice
Em G
If ever it'll help me get through the day, yeah yeah yeah yeah,
SOLO
(Play main part four times)
D Bm/Bm7 G Em G A
CHORUS
G D
Well who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"?
G Em
In all the pictures that you send me now
G Em A
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
D
Cars break down
Bm/Bm7
And people break down and
G A
other things break down too
Em
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
G A
And now I think I'm breakin' down on...
D
Cars break down
Bm/Bm7
And people break down and
G A
other things break down too (spoken)
Em
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
G A D
And now I think I'm breakin' down on you
G Bm/Bm7 G Em G A (fade out)

| This is clearly a song about David in CoMo and Sherry in SoCal | |
