Bicycle Spaniard - Cracker
Tabbed by dm9530a@american.edu (David Marley)
& Steve Vetter [vettersj@mindspring.com]
verse: C C Bm Am G
F C G
C
And it's a long
Bm Am G
Long way to the top
F C
But when you come down
G
It's one headlong rush
You've got an itch
To scratch the shiny bits of light
Hanging like stars
Hanging like stars
And Mary says
You're such a restless soul
My bicycle Spaniard
My magiare of coal (?)
You've got an inch to find
What's best left lost and cold
My bicycle Spaniard
My poor restless soul
When playing the lead, play riff 1 and then a G chord
twice, then riff 2 with F C G chords.
Riff1
lead (simplified (there's a bit more sliding involved)):
G:-6-7-6-----0-9---------
D:--------8------8-9----- (tremolo)
Riff2
play that twice, then:
e-----------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------
G:-6-7-6---0-9-0--------------------------------------
D--------8-------7---7-10-----------------------------
A:-----------------8------7---8-7---------------------
E:--------------------------8-----8/10-3--------------
/ means slide....
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 CRACKER 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.
