Calexico - Sunken Waltz guitar tab

Sunken waltz - Calexico

tabbed by John H (jhalfpenny@excite.com)

this song is great. check out my other tabs! comments and suggestions always welcome. in the 5th line i put susan b, being english i'm not sure but i think it's short for a susan b anthony (one dollar).

i'm not going to do the timing here, you should be able to figure it out easy enough. i think tabs can be too confusing for simple ditties like this--

intro riff--

e -0---0---0-----0-----------------1-\

B -1---------3-----3---1-----1-----1- \

G -2-----------------------2-------2- \ F / C / G / Am

D -2---------------------------3---3- /

(intro riff)

Am F C

washed my face in the rivers of empire

F C G

made my bed from the cardboard crate

Em Am

down in the city of courts

Am F C

no news, no new regrets

F C G

tossed a susan b over my shoulder

F Em Dm

and prayed it would rain and rain

F Em Dm

submerge the whole western state

C F

called a last fair deal

C F

with an american zeal

Em Am

and corporate handshake

(intro riff but followed by F / C / F / C / G / Em / Am )

Am F C

take the story of carpenter mike

F C G

who dropped his tools and his keys and left

F Em Dm

and headed out as far as he could

F Em Dm

past the city and gayday neighbourhoods

C F

and he slept 'neath the stars

C F

wrote down what he dreamt

C F

and he built a machine

Em Am

for no-one to see

G F C

and took flight first light of new morning
