Song: 500 Up 
Artist: Sloan 

During the verse, one of the guitars thumps out a steady A while the other 
guitar plays the following chords in single, held strums.  You'll get the 
idea if you listen to the cd. 

A2add6    A 
e---2------0---| 
B---0------2---| 
G---2------2---| 
D---2------2---| 
A---0------0---| 
E--------------| 


A2add6            A                A2add6                    A 
She comes runnin’ down like water, splashin’ around with the ones that 
taught her, 
A2add6               A                  A2add6                  A 
She’s just like that farmer’s daughter, everybody laughs at the joke, 

(Chorus) 
I know this is wrong.  The riff over the G chord is far more complicated but

I can't pick it out.  But this sounds alright over the chord, and most 
audiences probably won't notice. 

e----3---3---3---3---3----|

And we’re laughing, she don’t know what it means, she just knows it’s not

it seems 


A2add6                     A              A2add6                          A 
Everybody knows that she’s goin’ nowhere, everybody always tells her how 
much 
              A2add6                        A                       A2add6 
they care, when all they really care about is growin’ their hair, and 
getting’ 
         A 
it cut

In this part, the chords above the tab are sometimes strummed, sometimes 
picked.

She’s runnin’ down much faster, homebase is around the corner, 
All she can hear is laughter, that’s all that’s in store for her 

C  G  A  C  G  A  C  G  A   C  G 

During this little interlude, the second guitar plays something like this: 

e---------------------------------------| 
B-----10(repeat many times)-------8h10--| 
G---------------------------------------| 
D---------------------------------------| 
A---------------------------------------| 
E---------------------------------------|     And back to the verse 

Sliding downwards, you're the batter (that's what they say) 
500 up on the ladder 

She comes runnin’ down like water, she comes runnin’ down
