Indigo Girls - Welcome Me guitar tab
#
WELCOME ME (Amy Ray)
--------------------
[Actually in A; capo 2.]
[Each chord is one measure. There are variations within the measures that
I haven't noted here, mostly changing C and D to C(9) and D(9).]
(Am) Am G
Welcome me to the city of angels
D C
Devil prophets still hold my hand
Am G
I walked your stillborn streets for hours
D C(9)
Ethnic echoes spitting out their trials
G D
They tell me I'll, I'll be the first to praise the sun
C G
The first to praise the moon, the first to hold the lone coyote
D
The last to set it free
Welcome me to a haven given
It's well received into my open arms
I ran in my sleep through shaking tremors
I felt the splitting earth echoing in my ears
And I feel that I, I'll be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon, the first to hold the lone coyote
The last to set it free
[Guitar solo, same chords as one verse and one chorus]
Welcome me to your city of angels
See, there's a devil monkey laying on our backs
Now tell me, where's the heart, where's the bullet for breaking?
Who's gonna give me a weapon, a pacifying weapon?
And I need it, I'll, I'll be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon, the first to hold the lone coyote
The last to set it free, I said, I said welcome me
I'll be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon, oh, the first to hold the lone coyote
D C(9) G.
The last to set it free
TAB:
*The spacing matches the rhythm (1 hyphen is 1 32nd note), but the triplets
are a little off, obviously. I also had some trouble with 32nd triplets...
*The hashmarks on the E-string are time markers (1 every eighth note).
*The NUMBERS below the E-string mark grace notes (hammer-ons). The numbers
_below_ show what to start from, the #'s in the tab show what you end up with.
It's weird, but I wanted to keep the spacing right.
/ slide up
\ slide down
t8 eight note triplet, t32 = 32nd note triplet, etc. (\_t8_/ shows where)
