Lyrics
Aching bones and creaky homes and dust clouds on the street Leaves are pinned by restless winds and fear Premonition, intuition, trouble's near Honcho Graham from Birmingham is here The grinding fades from combine blades, the tractor's hungry heart At three o'clock, the blackbird flock is gone No one knows why Jenna Rose just disappeared But Honcho Graham from Birmingham is here Train smoke flies and alibis are sinking in the wind The little toys from little boys are gone Silence fills the flour mills and streets are clear Honcho Graham from Birmingham is here Now every year there's less of here as nature chews it down A town bereft and all that's left is rust But any gent who's smelled the scent of solemn fear Knows Honcho Graham from Birmingham was here Honcho Graham from Birmingham was here
Tablature
Tuning: CGCGCE, capo 4 The fingerpicking is hard on this, but I'll assume you can guess the patterns, because it'd take forever to tab out the whole thing. For the most part, the thumb pounds the low string every beat and the other fingers play the melody on the backbeats. Intro: First part: 0x0xxx When the melody comes in: 0xxx74 0xxx70 (three times) 0xxx4x 0xxx2x 0xxx0x 0xx0xx/0xx2xx 0xxx0x Verse: ----0-------0------------------------- ------2-0-----2-0---0-0---0----------- --3-------3------0/2----2------------- ----------------------------0-0-0-0--- -------------------------------------- ---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-- ----0-------3-1-0---------------------- ------2-0---------2---0-0---0---------- --3-------3---------2-----2------------ ------------------------------0-0-0-0-- --------------------------------------- ---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- ----0-------3-1-0---------------------- ------2-0---------2---0-0---0---------- --3-------3---------2-----2------------ ------------------------------0-0-0-0-- --------------------------------------- ---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- 5x0200 5x0100 000003 000000 x20000 Refrain: ----------------------------- --3--2-0--2--2-0-0----------- ----------------------------- --------------------0-0-0-0-- --1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3------------ -------------------0-0-0-0--- (at the end, instead of the 3rd fret on the A string, it's on the E string) Solo: x54xxx x55xxx x57xxx x44xxx x45xxx x47xxx 5xx0xx 5x5xxx 5x4xxx 5x0xxx 5xx0xx 5x5xxx 5x4xxx 5x0xxx x02xxx x05xxx x09xxx x/0/11/xxx x2x0xx x25xxx x24xxx x20xxx x2x0xx x25xxx x24xxx x20xxx 0x0xxx 0x2xxx 0x4xxx 0x5xxx 0x4xxx 0x2xxx 0x0xxx x2x0xx x25xxx x24xxx x20xxx x0x4xx x0x5xx x0x0xx x00xxx 5xx0xx 5xx4xx 5xx5xx
