Artist/Band: John Hiatt Tabs
Song: Have A Little Faith In Me Tab
Have a Little Faith in Me, by John Hiatt,
Capo first fret
This song is not really played off chords,
But by playing off the low E string using the high E&B as drones
Alternately, you can tune to
“E” – “E-B-E-G#-B-E” low to high,
and bar chords as
“E=000000”, A=555555, B= 7777777 C#=999999
Try it different ways, and see which you like.
I’ve seen Hiatt do it both ways.
Have a Little Faith in Me, by John Hiatt,

And you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark baby
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me.
Have a little faith in me

When the road gets dark,
And you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark baby
And have a little faith in me
Verse 2
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me.
(Have a little faith in me)
When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darlin', from a whisper start
To have a little faith in me
And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you will see
I will catch, I will catch your fall, baby
So have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend,
'Cause for us there is no end
And all you gotta do
Is have a little faith in me
I said I will hold you up,
I will hold you up,
Cause your love gives me strength enough
So have a little faith in me.
