Pale Green Things
Tabbed by: rristuccia@yahoo.com
There’s something a little weird about the the C chords. I think John adds a high G
on the first string), but I’m not sure.
Intro: C, F, C, F
[Verse 1]
C
Got up before dawn
F C F
Went down to the racetrack
C
Riding with the windows down
F C F
Shortly after your first heart attack.
Am C
You parked behind the paddock,
Am C
Cracking asphalt underfoot,
Am C
Coming up through the cracks
[Chorus]
G C
Pale green things, pale green things
C, F, C, F
[Verse 2]
C
You watched the horses run their workouts
F C F
You held your stopwatch in your left hand
C
And a Racing Form beneath your arm
F C F
Casting your gaze way out to no man's land
Am C
Sometimes I'll meet you out there
Am C
Lonely and frightened
Am C
Flicking my tongue out at the wet leaves
[Chorus]
G C
Pale green things, pale green things
C, F, C, F, C, F, C, F, Am, C, Am, C, Am, C, G, C
[Verse 3]
C
My sister called at 3 AM
F C F
Just last December
C
She told me how you'd died at last, at last.
F C F
That morning at the racetrack was one thing that I remembered
Am C
I turned it over in my mind
Am C
Like a living Chinese finger trap
Am C
Seaweed in Indiana sawgrass
[Chorus]
G C
Pale green things, pale green things
C, F, C, F, C, F, C, F, Am, C, Am, C, Am, C, G, C.
