Rain Check (Ani DiFranco Cover) - Joel (Baritone Strings)

Hi everyone!!! Here is a cover of "Rain Check" by Ani...hopefully you guys like it!! I tried to include the fret board for all you people eager to learn Ani tabs! ; )

Keep in mind...those are baritone guitar strings...so they are thicker...however what i put them on...was a regular acoustic guitar...but anywho - ENJOY! & COMMENT!

Lyrics:

as dolls go i am broken
and you could just let that get us off the hook
but from under the umbrella of the unspoken
i see you giving me that look

baby, you're right as rain about the benefits
but you might be wrong about the costs
and it feeds my heart that you came looking for me
but i'm thinkin i need to stay lost

so i won't say i saw you fibbing
or jump-jigging across the floor
i won't say you walked me to my car
and draped your arm on my open door

i know my mind is made of matter
but i need to know exactly
what is the matter at it's core?
because my heart is just a muscle
and simply put, it's sore

so never mind about the benefits
and never mind about the costs
that don't change the basic premises
in which i am surely lost

so i won't say i saw you fibbing
or jump-jigging across the floor
i won't say you walked me to my car
and draped your arm on my open door

It's ridiculous how much I love this song. By far my favorite off EG.

And you do a great cover!

Thanks for posting!

I LOVE this song :) I'm so glad you did it for us. At least I felt like it was for us ;)

But hey, I would really like to hear that, dare I say, sexy, voice sing some dusty soul. Or really really belt it out. The possibilities are endless. :) :) <3

[pamming]

incredible cover. Is there any way I can get the guitar tab to this? It's kinda hard to follow what you're doing. and I second the being in love with you...haha

[InAProverbialSense]

[EBB47]

[mynamejonas]

wow. you have a truly beautiful voice! Ani is one of my all time favorite artists and i very rarely find people that are able to capture the spirit she conveys in her music, especially with guys (cuz let's face it, ani is a bit of a feminist! ;) but you've really got it. beautiful.
