And he orders himself another beer
That Harry ever loved
Wonders if he's runnin' out of time
Feelin' like a fraction of a man
He doesn't play these on Honeydew, but he puts them in on his live album.

Arrangement source for Fraction Of A Man by Shawn Mullins

{capo: 2}
{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
[G]Now my old friend Harry

[C]Never slowed down to marry

He's in s[G]ales, he's gone most of the y[D]ear

He s[G]miles through all his lies

With do[C]llar signs in his eyes

[G]                 [D]            Riff 1 ([Em]  [G])
And he orders himself another beer

[G]Now Harry, he's a dreamer

[C]A scholar and a schemer

But he'll be t[G]here for you

When push comes to sh[D]ove

His m[G]ama called him Harold

[C]And she was one of only two w[G]omen

      [D]           Riff 2 ([Em]  [C])
That Harry ever loved

[C]The other was a waitress

[C]In Cave Creek, Arizona

[C]That broke his heart

And tangled up his m[G]ind

[G]My old friend Harry

[D]Lookin' kinda scary

                  [D7]            Riff 3 ([Em]  [C]  [D])
Wonders if he's runnin' out of time

Now B[G]iloxi's got a sadness

Like a d[C]ark day in December

[G]That Harry recognizes

In al[D]l forgotten southern towns

[G]Thumbin' through the phonebook

For a n[C]ame he can't remember

Lookin' de[G]sperate, like a junk[D]ie

Waitin' for a fix to come ar[Em]ound    [D]

[C]Sittin' playing Blackjack

[C]With a hooker and a tourist

[C]And a one-eyed dealer winning every h[G]and

[G]Harry sips Black Label

[D]Slumps down at the table

                 [D7]           Riff 3  [Em]
Feelin' like a fraction of a man

F[C]eelin' like a fra[D]ction of a m[Em]an      [C]            [D]                   [G]

He doesn't play these on Honeydew, but he puts them in on his live album.
