Subject: CRD: "Ballad of the Sad Cafe" by Calobo
"Ballad of the Sad Cafe" from the Calobo album "Runnin' in the River"
Brought to you by Mike Schweisthal (mschweis@u.washington.edu)
Notes: I'm not certain that these lyrics are entirely correct, but the
chords are pretty solid (my dad helped me with this one, I believe...) If
you know how to do hammer-ons and pull-offs with G and C chords, I
recommend messing around with them a bit--it sounds really nice with this
song. A '|' denotes a measure break.
Chords Used:

G: 320003
C: X32010

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CALOBO tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
