Biography:
Some bands insist on dragging listeners into their world, but Richmond, VA's Carbon Leaf works towards a more admirable and considerably more difficult goal – that of letting perfect strangers feel that the band understands their world. Since 1992, the band has succeeded in doing just that -- and on its third Vanguard release, Nothing Rhymes With Woman, has created a soundtrack suitable for multiple worlds.
“For me, this is an album that’s focused on growth and maturity, but it’s not deadly serious,” says front man Barry Privett.

What About Everything? By Carbon Leaf
This is my first tab, but i am pretty sure it is correct. It is basically a
revision of oriolesazb's,
but with a couple changes and a capo, which makes life so much easier

Verse
G C
Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some stubborn leaves
Am G
That didn't fall with the fall, and now they clatter in vain
C
Holiday sky. Midnight clear. Wind is high, hard to steer
Am G
Old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane
G C
In search of some rest. In search of a break
Am G
From a life of tests where something's always at stake
Where something's always so far
C
What about my broken car?
Am
What about my life so far?
D
What about my dream?
What about,
Chorus
C G
What about everything?
Em D
What about aeroplanes?
C G Em
And what about ships that drank the sea?
What about...
C G
What about the moon and stars?
Em D
What about soldier battle scars
C G D
And all the anger that they eat?
Em D G
I am not in need.
Verse 2
G
Get away and come with me.
C
Come away with me and we'll see
Am G
If I was right on that night, that a future was made
C
Before time takes each year, like a knife cuts it clear
Am G
It's school, then work and then life that just sharpens the blade
C
I think about time for fun. I think about time for play
Am G
Then I think about being done, with no resume
With no one left to blame
C
What about fortune and fame?
D
What about your love to obtain?
What about the ring?
What about,
Chorus
