Official GEAR DADDIES Tablature & Sheet Music »
PROPS GO TO: Brian Baker
This is from The Gear Daddies album "Let's Go Scare Al". It's very similar to the Zamboni Machine.
Kind of a country strum, alternating the root and the next string up, like this:

STATUE OF JESUS
by
The Gear Daddies
Em Am Em
I'm just sittin' downtown, cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus
Em Am Em
Both of us so lonely and cold hope no one can see us
B Am Em
I know I'm drunk yeah, but I don't think that he cares
B Am Em
Surely He must understand the crosses that I bear
Am Em
So I'm just sittin' downtown cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus
Sometimes I think she's right I ain't worth a shit
A wife and kids to feed and here I sit
I try so hard but I just don't think I fit
Daddy always said everything I touched would turn to shit
So I'm just sittin' downtown cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus
Harmonica Solo:
Did thirty days hard for stealin' cigarettes
How's a man s'posed to tell his children that
I try so hard but I just don't think I fit
Daddy always said everything I touched would turn to shit
So I'm just sittin' downtown cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus
Em Am Em
Sittin' downtown cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus
Am Em
I'm just sittin' downtown cryin' 'neath a Statue of Jesus
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 GEAR DADDIES 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.
