Rocky Votolato is an American musician. He was born in rural Texas in 1978, though was raised in the Pacific Northwest. When his former band Lying on Loot disbanded in 1996, Rocky Votolato, along with friends Rudy Gajadhar (drums) and Andrew Hartley (bass), started playing under the name Waxwing. Rocky's younger brother Cody (The Blood Brothers) soon joined the band on second guitar, and the band recorded their debut 7" for Henry's Finest Recordings.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rocky Votolato - The Night's Disguise ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the album: Makers Tabbed by: Bob Wood Transcribed: DP Email: [email protected] Tuning: down half step Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb
The F is a power chord Eb--------| Bb--------| Gb---2----| Db---3----| Ab---3----| Eb---1----|
the rest is open chords except the walk down. I've seen rocky play this way
For the Intro just strum the Dm and pick the open A string, then strum the Dm, then pick open D string then strum the Dm, then pluck the A string etc...
------------ Verse ------------
DmG the clouds are holding up the dawn
AmF they're stilts or crutches I can't tell which one
DmG to keep the short days looking longer
AmF or to keep the sunlight from falling on broken legs
E (let ring) but the night's disguise is wearing thin
--------- Chorus ---------
AmC caught me looking through your eyes
DmG no I'm not doing alright
FE I'm just as stupid and desperate as I've always been
thats about it...there is another verse and another chorus and stuff. You should be able figure it out. If you can't...i dunno. Put downt the guitar and play something else.
I've spoke to rocky and alot of the stuff he plays are all in open chord format except his new album makers. Im pretty sure on all his albums up to suicide med. he plays w/ all strings flat. So if your trying to tab out a song. Play open chords and tune your guitar down.
Thanks to bob wood to teach me this song. Its great! Thanks bud!
