Did not find a complete listing for this song.
Plus the other listing is off. So I sat down
and figured it out one night.

Capo: 2 fret  Key of:E
"Frying Pan"  (Victoria Williams)
As Performed by Evan Dando

Fade Intro: D G

D      Em                 G
One laugh in the middle of a struggle,
D       Em                G
Diamond at the bottom of a puddle.
G                               A
Did you ever stare at the moon, 'till you saw double,
D          Em             G
I hear you walk away from trouble.


D          Em             G
Good love, there ain't no denying,
D             Em             G
Say bad love, somebody ain't trying
G                              A
Did you ever walk some place, just to take time,
D           Em                G
Or take the fast road and get going.


G                         A
And then the rules break, there's no mistake,
D                        A
These are precious times, you and I,
A                 D - Em - G
We walk the line.
G                 D - Em - G
We walk the line.


G
I looked in a frying pan,
A
I sang a song.
G
I looked at a dying man.
A  (pause)      A  A  A  A
He sang along.


A             D       G
We   got mountains
G              D      Em
(Yeah) we got peaches
D                          Em
We got love that makes us mad
G                        A
We got love that has to teach us
