In the interest of honesty, these chords have been provided by the Chordify
service. They *should* be correct. This song is an excellent example of Calexico's
lighter side. Enjoy it!
Note: Please pay attention to the strumming style in the original-- I can't really
transcribe it here, but it makes the fairly simple chord progression more interesting.
CGF
When the evening sun is setting low
CGF
Blinding you on your drive home
CGF
And the lanes of traffic all converge
CGF
Causing you to curse every other word
EmGC
For to wish it all away
(pause briefly, then slowly sweep downward with pick/one finger on C)
CGF
Daily grind's got your screw stripped
CGFEmG
No can of double-ya-dee forty can fix your situation
CF
Seems to be losing steam
CGFG
Dream's been dropped on credit cards
AmCEmF
And false hope pumping out of your soul
FCGF
Like oil in the gulf it's a dead end
AmCF
Drive it further deep into the ground
GFG
Till the point's dull as your skull
FEmDm
And the same sun that you curse
GC
Powers your hybrid heart home
(more lightly now):
CG
If only this car could move
F
Half a smidge
