Tom Russell

Tom Russell - St. Olav's Gate guitar tab

A tab I'm doing from work and memory. It's pretty much the same 4 chords throughout the song, and easy as hell to play. The solo sounds nice and is easy to play with some practice. About the same difficulty level as BOX OF VISIONS as far as the guitar solo goes. I like to play this tune live when there's a quite audience, and I have someone to harmonize for me.

I've made a few posts in the last few days, and only have one request. Can anyone suggest any kick-ass tunes for me to figure out that are in the Tom Russell Style or Tom himself? Thx!!

Have fun! - Ken

ST. OLAV'S GATE (Capo on 4th fret - or wherever yer comfortable)

(G)DRINKING BLACK MARKET VODKA IN THE BACK OF THE SCOTTSMAN'S SAL(Am)OON

THEN IT'S (D)RED MEAT AND WHISKEY LIKE A COYOTE DRUNK ON THE (G)MOON

OUTSIDE IN OSLO THE BUSKERS' ALL SING THE SAME (C)TUNE

AND IT'S (D)WALTZIN' MATILDA WHILE THE BAGPIPES PLAY OLD CLARE DE (G)LUNE

SHE WAS A LADY, SHE CAME DOWN FROM BERGEN SHE SAID

SHE SPOKE LITTLE ENGLISH, THEY LAUGHED AND DRANK WHISKEY INSTEAD

IN THE MORNIN' HE FOUND IT... A ROSE WITH A NOTE ON HIS PLATE

IT SAID, "MEET ME AT MIDNIGHT ON THE CORNER OF ST. OLAV'S GATE"

(CHORUS)

(G)HERE'S TO THE LADYS YOU LOVE AND DON'T SEE (Am)AGAIN

THE (D)NIGHT IS WARM WHISKEY... THE MORNIN'S A COLD BITTER (G)WIND

THE BLUE EYED MADONNA LEAVES TOWN WHILE THE DRUNKEN MAN (C)WAITS

LEAVES HIM (D)STANDING ALONE IN THE SHADOWS OF ST. OLAV'S (G)GATE

(SOLO)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

"I'm just a regular guy, never get rich but I always get by."
