Ryan Adams "Afraid, Not Scared"
Ok, Here's another "unfound" tab but I had someone help me out with this one.
The chords sound pretty nice but I'm not sure...so I guess I can say "this is the way
I play it". Anyhow, Here's another really great Ryan Adams song. If you like my tab
please give me a good rating and please, post more Ryan Adams tabs. Thanks. P.S. If
anyone knows the riffs to this, please post it...I'm only a "CoffeeHouse Strummer"

This song blew me away the first time I heard it, and it never ceases to whenever I listen to it. Ryan's music just keeps getting better and better.

i get so worked up to this song. it makes me think of all the injustice ands tupidity and hurting in the world and i start going ape shit.l its good for before sport but i start listening to it on my i-pod and suddenly i'm starting fights and throwing shit around. its a big think when music gets my so riled up. the only other songs that make me get so damn indignant and upset are anema (tool) passive (apc) and dead drunks (deloris)

I love the part where the guns turn into vodka. It's an almost unbearably sad song, but that metaphor is so strange it somehow makes me smile.

I think this song is about telling someone how you truly feel about them - you're not afraid to talk to them or release your feelings but your scared about the future when they give you that look saying "I don't see you like that/I don't want ot be with you. They're shocked and even by them not moving or responding you know you've lost them from that empty gaze.

Yeah, I got the same idea about Titanic too. But I have a feeling the drowning and sinking is more of a metaphorical falling apart.
