Howie Day - Secret
Tabbed By: k_lock
Email: klock@email.unc.edu
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Howie plays this song slightly differently than I have tabbed it,
but this is definitely the easiest way to play this song. It still
sounds exactly the same as the album. The verses are all based on
an open F chord. You sing a line of the song for every time you
go through this cycle:
E|--0--1--3----3-3----3--1--0--1--0----------------||
B|--1--1--1----1-1----1--1--1--1--1----------------||
G|--2--2--2----2-2----2--2--2--2--2----------------||
D|--3--3--3----3-3----3--3--3--3--3----------------||
A|--x--x--x----x-x----x--x--x--x--x----------------||
E|--x--x--x----x-x----x--x--x--x--x----------------||
First verse (Palm muted):
It's your secret, why would you tell it to me?
It's your secret, on the television screen
C G
Why would you not try to me?
Am F C
Why would you not try to see?
C G Am F
C G Am F
Second verse:
It's about blue hair, I want to stay the night with you
You got the beamiest face, yeah car turns right I'm into you
C G Am
Right from wrong is not quite seen
F C
Right from wrong is it every-thing?
Chorus:
C G Am F
It's your sec-ret
C G Am F
It's your sec-ret
C G Am F
You tell it to me, yeah yeah
C G Am F
You tell it to me, yeah yeah
Third verse:
Didn't want to step on the cracks, the feeling is we didn't
You got the beamiest face, yeah car turns left I'm into you
C G Am
Taking sleeping pills for rest
F C
Anxious love gets so ob-sessed
Chorus
Interlude, if playing solo just play the beginning part twice through
Fourth verse:
It's a love affair on a quiet Sunday afternoon
And the speedy pills; you should know I'm into you
C G
Why would you not try to me?
Am F C
Why would you not try to see?
Chorus
