The Wood Brothers, Pay Attention Tabs
Artist/Band: Wood Brothers Tabs
Song: Pay Attention Tab
This song is in the key of C major and is 3/4 time.
He uses pretty standard chord voicings. The only one that
might be foreign to some would be the Gm9 which is played like this:
E|--5--|
B|--3--|
G|--3--|
D|--5--|
A|--5--|
E|--3--|
I usually play it without the root but that’s just my preference.
Not sure how Oliver plays it each time through. Anyhow, here’s the song...
Intro:
3/4 || C | C | Am | G | F |
| Bb | Am | G | G ||
(Listen to CD for proper strumming and timing)
VERSE:
C F C G
Please pay attention to me
C Gm9
Was the last thing I heard as I drifted to sleep
F C
With children to tend to
F C
and a worrying mind
F C
With too much to do
Gm9
and not enough time
CHORUS:
F C
I hate to be needy
F C
Selfish and greedy
Am F C
But please pay attention to me

..Me

VERSE 2: (same chords as first verse)
C F C G
Please pay attention to me
C Gm9
Was the last thing I heard comin’ out of my dream

And the sun has gone down
F C
And if you don’t listen
Gm9 Gm
I’ll talk much too loud
CHORUS: (Same as 1st chorus)

Selfish and greedy

But please pay attention to me
BRIDGE:
Am C
Why don’t you look my way

So please pay attention to me

And a worrying mind
F C
With too much to do
Gm9 Gm
And not enough time
OUTRO CHORUS:
F C
I hate to be needy
F C
Selfish and greedy
F C
I hate to keep asking
F C
Beggin’ and pleadin’.

Under your window screamin’
Am F C G
Please pay attention to me

Please pay attention to me
