Big Dipper - from "The Golden Age"
tabbed by Steve Vetter [vettersj@mindspring.com] and
dm9530a@american.edu (David Marley)
the key to remmeber in this song is that you
have to maintain the guitar rhythm even though
the verse doesn't always match up. -sjv
intro/verse: Am C F G
The cigarettes
And carrot juice
Get yourself a new tattoo
For those sleeveless days of June
I'm sitting on the Cafe Zino's steps
With a book
I haven't started yet
Watching all the girls walk by
G F
Could I take you out?
F Dm
I'd be yours without a doubt
C G
On that big dipper
If the sound of this
It frightens you
We could play it real cool
And act somewhat indifferent
And hey June
Why's you have to come
Why'd you have to come around
So soon?
I wasn't ready
For all this nature
The terrible green green grass
And violent blooms
Of flowered dresses
And afternoons that make me sleepy
But we could wait awhile
'Fore we push that dull turnstile
Into the passage
Thousands they have tread
And others sometimes fled
Before the turn came
We could wait our lives
Before a chance arrives
Before the passage
Form the top you can see Monterey
Or think about San Jose
Though i know it's not that pleasant
And hey Jim
'A Karoak
Brother of the famous Jack
Or so he likes to say
Lucky bastard
He's sitting on the Cafe Zino's steps
With a girl I'm not over yet
Watching all the world go by
Boy you're looking bad
Did I make you feel that sad?
I'm honestly flattered
But if she asked me out
I'd be her without a doubt
On that big dipper
Cigarettes
And carrot juice
get yourself a new tattoo
For those sleeveless days of June
I'm sitting on the Cafe Zino steps
I haven't got the courage yet
I haven't got the courage yet...
Here's a rough sketch of the solo...

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.
