The main RIFF used throughout the song is:
D# D# C# C# C# C# D# D# C# C# C# D#
The timing is difficult to show on this, but if you listen to the intro
you
can figure it out. Basically play a few D#'s, then C#'s, then almost
repeat
the pattern but quickly come back for a D# instead of the last C#.
The little filler notes (FILL) are just a little "tickling" of the first
two strings (e and B) held at the 8th fret (just mash down your third
finger
which should be on the 8th fret from playing the D# anyway).
INTRO: RIFF
VERSES:
D# FILL
Well my eyelids said four-thirty
D# FILL
and the radio clock said six
G# A# RIFF
and I was thinking up a reasonable excuse
D# FILL
I might have slept til yesterday
D# FILL
but in the shape I'm in
G# A# RIFF
what's twenty-four hours more or less to lose
CHORUS:
Gm Cm
I've burned up letters and I've burned up souvenirs
Gm Cm
And left no traces Lord that I was ever here
D# G# A# RIFF
And I won't be Louisiana lowdown and blue
BRIDGE:
A# D# FILL
I saw a stranger smiling at me yesterday
A# D# FILL
And it scared me almost half to death
A# D# FILL
I wanted to hide I wanted to run away from her
A# RIFF
Instead I closed my eyes and she wasn't there
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 COWBOY MOUTH 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.
