Song: Slavin' Away Band: The Fiery Furnaces Album: Rehearsing My Choir Tabbed by: Adam B. E-mail: [email protected]
Note: This is one of my favorite songs, so I decided to tab it out. Nothing special, just two different chord progressions throughout the whole song. I didn't bother with the weird bass lines. ENJOY!!!
SLAVIN’ AWAY
AmC Slavin’ away, all for you my love,
F and I’ve nothing to show for it
Am ‘cept my dusty old book full of pictures.
AmC Dusty old book, tell me a story
F ‘bout how I wasn’t so tired
Am from all my slavin’ away.
Then play this chord progression a few times (listen to the song and it will make sense):
A, F#, D, E, A, F, E, A
*Weird bass line*
Am I ran off,
C put on corduroy knickers that I got from the coal shoveling kid
F and hitch-hiked in a rickety old Ford,
Am hitch-hiked in a rattley old Norton side-car
AmC “down strange roads, in the purring rain”, as the poet put it,
F on up to St. Paul
Am on a cold day in the middle of the fall.
And they picked me up for not wearing a dress and suspended my sentence if I wore something with a strap that was pink and I scrubbed up good on somebody’s sink. So now I’ll catch the Canadian Pacific and not be too specific, to somewhere up north, and get into lumber and slumber when I like and in the spring ride down into Cheyenne on my bike.
**HAPPY PART** A, F#, D, E, A, F, E, A
**Weird bass line stuff**
Then play the same "Slavin Away" chord progression (Am, C, F, Am) for the spoken word, and up until the happy part and you play this:
Instrumental (happy part): A, F#, D, E, A, F, E, A
Crazy dramatic part: Am, C, F, Am
AF# I could see her, looking in the mirror at me
DEA wondering if it wasn’t plain for everyone t’see–
FEA nothing ever seemed to turn out how it might be.
***continue playing same chord progression until the grandma starts talking***
