Sixto Rodriguez - Crucify Your Mind
Tabbed by: Jorn Seubers
I suggest a different chord progression than the existing tab.
There is definitive bassline drop from A to G# to G, which is reflected
by using the chords A (002220), Amaj7 (002120), A7 (002020).
The transition E to A is quick (only catch a couple of E bass notes).
[Intro]
|A |Amaj7 |A7 |E A | x2
[Verse 1]
A
Was it a huntsman or a player
Amaj7
That made you pay the cost
A7
That now assumes relaxed positions
E A
And prostitutes your loss?
[Verse 2]
A
Were you tortured by your own thirst
Amaj7
In those pleasures that you seek
A7
That made you Tom the curious
E A
That makes you James the weak?
[Interlude]
|A |Amaj7 |A7 |E A |
[Chorus]
E A
And you claim you got something going
E A
Something you call unique
D A
But I've seen your self-pity showing
E A
As the tears rolled down your cheeks.
[Interlude]
|A |Amaj7 |A7 |E A |
[Verse 3]
A
Soon you know I'll leave you
Amaj7
And I'll never look behind
A7
'Cos I was born for the purpose
E A
That crucifies your mind.
[Verse 4]
A
So come, convince your mirror.
Amaj7
As you've always done before
A7
Giving substance to shadows
E A
Giving substance ever more.
[Interlude]
|A |Amaj7 |A7 |E A |
[Chorus]
E A
And you assume you got something to offer
E A
Secrets shiny and new
D A
But how much of you is repetition
E A
That you didn't whisper to him too.
[Outro]
|A |Amaj7 |A7 |E A |
