Tanita Tikaram - Good Tradition

      Song: Good tradition
Artist: Tanita Tikaram
Composer: Tanita Tikaram
Album: Ancient heart

Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com)
28th Mar 2018

CAPO: 1st fret (Will then sound in the original recorded key of Ab)

N.B. In later live performances she performs the song in the key of C,
the same chords as the tab but with the capo at the 5th fret instead.
Alternatively, in other live performances she still plays in C but
without any capo:  C (x32013) Fadd9 (xx3213) G (320003)
and she keeps her little finger on that high string throughout.

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
G = 320033  C = x320010  D = xx0232

[Chorus]
           G                  C            G                  D
There's a good tradition of love and hate ...staying by the fireside,
           G                  C            G                  D
There's a good tradition of love and hate ...staying by the fireside

[Verse 1]
                 G                    C
And though the rain may fall, your father's calling you,
G                   D
    You still feel safe inside,
                G                      C
And though your ma's too proud, your brother's ignoring you,
G                   D
    You still feel safe inside

[Verse 2]
     C                G
Oh, was this solo?   Was this yesterday?
 D                 G
Was this true for you?
              C                 G
'Cause while all the rest have taken time,
       D                  G
This didn't do a lot for you

[Break]
    G            C            G            D

[Verse 3]
           G                  C
And the corner's laced with memories,
G                     D
    Tell you how it used to be,
        G                  C
Your mother smiles, the children play,
             G                  D
And all the bad things happen miles away,
      G                     C
And strong feelings never bother you,
G                                    D
    You hold your head up while the rest of us try to

[Verse 4]
     C                  G                D                      G
Oh, call the stations, call the people,     we all wanna know,
              C                  G
'Cause while all the rest have taken time,
 D               G
You don't wanna know

Well, there's a good tradition of love and hate ...staying by the fireside,
           G                  C            G                  D
There's a good tradition of love and hate ...staying by the fireside

[Verse 5]
                 G                    C

And though your ma's too proud, your brother's ignoring you,
G                   D
    You still feel safe inside

[Verse 6]
     C                G
Oh, was this solo?   Was this yesterday?
 D                 G
Was this true for you?
           C              G
'Cause of all the choices you have made,
       D                  G
This didn't do a lot for you
