Life Ain't What It Seems

			   Music & Lyrics by John Butler 
	          From the album "Three" By The John Butler Trio 
 
Tabbed by - Tom Walker 
 
This is not in anyway note for note of what he plays but more of a guide of where 
he plays this song on the fret board. It should be enough to get you playing 
along with the song with all its little fills and improves.  
 
Tuning Open C - Capo on 5th Fret 
all numbers in respect to capo 
 
Intro   Let Ring through out  
e|---------------------------------------------|--------------------------------- 
C|------------7-(7)p0--------4-p-0-------------|----------9-(9)p0--------4-4---- 
G|-----5---------0-------------0---------------|-------------0----------------0--

G|------------5-(5)p0----0--2------2h4---------|----------7-(7)p0----0--2--------

G|------------------4/5--------------------------------------------------------

For the heavier parts just play the above bit but with strumming all of the  
strings, you'll soon get the notes while listening to the song. 
 
Middle, play loosely and in diff. varations			     
e|----------------------------------7*-|---------------------------------------- 
C|-------0--0-----------------------7*-|---------------------------------------- 
G|----0-----0-----------5-----5-----7*-|-----*harmonic--------------------------

       Oh I won't forget.......

Heres the solo to Life, because it isn't included on other tab.  
I think this solo is played with a lap-steel 
Im not sure if is right, but the rest of the song is the open C, 
capo on the fith-fret. I use CGCGCC for this song. 
All numbers in repect to capo 
  
C---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
C-7\4-4-4/5-5-4\2\0----------------------9(\7)----9\7--(7)/9\7-(2)/4\2-0-2--- 
G--------------------2/4---------------/7------5/7--------------------------- 
C-------------------0-----0-4-0-4\2-0----------------0----------------------- 
G---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
C---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
         Im not sure about this, but it's pretty much 
         the same in synch with the CD.       
C----------------------------------------------/12-12-12-12------- 
C-12\9\7--------9---------------------7-7/9-9--/12-12-12-12------- 
G--------5/7/9---9\5--2/4----------------------/12-12-12-12------- 
C--------------------0----0-4-0-4\2-0----------/12-12-12-12------- 
G----------------------------------------------------------------- 
C----------------------------------------------------------------- 
  
That's it. 
Im a bit sketchy if the second line 
is completely right, but sounds good with the CD. 
  
Cheers
