Artist: Tarkio Album: Omnibus Song: Caroline Avenue
Tabbed by: Mike K ([email protected]) from http://www.decemberists.com/orate
This intro is hard to tab since it's so 'loose'. Basically, the single notes below are ones you should emphasize between the strumming - give it some practice and it will sound right.
The D throughout can often be replaced by a Dsus2 (x00230) or just D without a 3rd (x0023x), and the A can be played as the Asus4 above (x02230) or (x02x30)
Intro: DA
DAD The things you said - were they true? EmABm 'Cos I haven't got a clue F#mG And wouldn't know, if they were not true
DAD 'Cos I am here paper doll EmABm I am waiting for your call F#mG But I won't wait until tomorrow
EmA So hard to mention BmG When you're in my [shoes] EmAAsus4 But I'm tired of riding shotgun for you
DA As we light down Caroline Avenue BmG Time will tell you that you're EmABm Thinking that you're right when you are wrong GA And I'm thinking that this evening won't last BmGDA Long, no no. 'Cos I'm getting pretty tired BmG Of you waxing so inspired DAD 'Bout the lights down Caroline Avenue
Repeat Intro
Serves you right, to feel this way Be so clinically deranged But I won't stand for all your bullshit So take your time, cos we've got time Remember what is yours is mine Don't let it slide by the way-side
Reeling from the tension It's all ending here And I'm chasing shots of whiskey with Everclear
Repeat Chorus
F#GDDsus4D And you're trying so hard F#G But it takes more than just AA/GF#mEmD Flipping off traffic cops to impress me Repeat Intro (You underestimate me)
Emptied out, fallen free It will catch up with me And I'm [?] impatient But I will wait, if you decide It's all over bar the tide And I will stay behind 'till you decide
Carry me till daylight With your wisdom [fair?] Till tomorrow finds me shoeless in jail
