Shannon Rhodes by Damien Jurado Tabbed by: Craig Lange email: [email protected]
This is my first cord/tab posting. I couldn't find cords anywhere for this beautiful and somber song, so I decided to give it a shot and post what I came up with. I'm not if this is correct, it's probably not. So anyone with more talent or insight should add thoughts, please feel free to email me as well.
*sometimes it sounds better with the D# in on the cord I have listed as G/D.
At a few points in the song, it sounds nice to change the Fmaj7 to F(add9 (especially there's no verse). All you do is add the B to the Fmaj7
I don't have strings listed as open or closed because I just kind of feel it out or pick them when I strum. If you listen to the song while you play the first few times, figure out where to make contact for each strum.
Note: I refer to cord names relative to the capo and individual note's relative to pitch.
CFC I drove from Montesano to Aberdeen
G/DFC From Aberdeen to Pacific Beach
FC And a pocket full of wrong numbers
G/DFC Has anybody here seen Shannon Rhodes
I see her in the window of my memory She's standing like an angel down the hall I'll call you when I get home this evening Has anybody here seen Shannon Rhodes
Some say that she moved in with her lover The man that her mother could not stand And Ma, he only hits me when he's angry Has anybody seen Shannon Rhodes
Four miles from the highway they found her Laying in the tall grass by the road And she was murdered by the hands of her lover Goodbye, goodbye, Shannon Rhodes?
Yesterday I went out to her grave site It was the same day that her lover stood his trail And at her grave I stood there and remembered All of my days with her are gone.
