DEAD MAN'S HILL (Amy Ray)
-------------------------
[In the parts that say "Dsus9 - D7sus9 D6 - D5," play the riff that
I've tabbed out at the end. I.e., don't actually play a Dsus9 chord.]
[The A5 and D5 are kind of weird; at times, they can sound like Am and D,
but do try to lay off the third.]

[instrumental]
A5 G/B Csus9 D5
We were down at Dead Man's Hill, smoking vines like cigarettes
A5 G/B Csus9 D5
Looking through the trashy mags, trying to feel what's coming next
A5 G/B Csus9 D5
You told me of crashing cars, older brothers, and late night bars
A5 G/B Csus9 Csus9 D D
I told you what I feel most, and you kept it like a ghost forever
G C(9) D D G
Don't you write it down, remember this in your head
[G] C(9) D D G
Don't take a picture, remember this in your heart
[G] C(9) D D G
Don't leave a message, talk to me face to face
[G] C(9)
(Talk to me face to face) Talk to me face to face
Dsus9 - D7sus9 D6 - D5 Dsus9 - D7sus9 D6 - D5
[instrumental]
Lying on the bright blue jumping mat, dinner bell is ringing
Barking dogs and model planes, and the sound of passing trains
We watch for bonfires in the sky, on the beach in July
Spin the bottle, steal the kiss, postcards to the one I miss forever
D5 D5 D5
The one I miss forever
Don't you write it down, remember this in your head
Don't take a picture, remember this in your heart
I'll leave a message when everything comes apart
(Talk to me face to face) Talk to me face to face
(Everything comes apart) Ahhhhhh, I'll leave a message
[G] C(9) Dsus9 - D7sus9 D6 - D5
When everything comes apart
Dsus9 - D7sus9 D6 - D5 Dsus9 - D7sus9 D6 - D5
[instrumental]
A5 G/B Csus9 D5 A5 G/B Csus9 D5 A5 G/B Csus9 D5 A5 G/B Csus9 D5
[instrumental]
I remember cats on fire, gasoline, a burning spiral
Standing underneath the night, fighting back with all my might
Empty cans and charred remains, find them in the heat of day
On the top of Dead Man's Hill, this is what I know of shame forever

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 INDIGO GIRLS 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.
