Car Wreck by Devil Makes Three
Tabbed By: Taylor Sansom
Capo 4
I'm still not sure of the picking pattern but when I get it I'll tab it out as well. I'm
90% sure of the chords except it might go C to Am in the verse instead of C to F but
both sound pretty good and can be accomplished with a slight change in your singing. C/B
is just the walkdown/transition chord between C and Am
CF
He grew up in a one-horse town
GCG
Wasn't much to do since all them bars had closed down
CF
He'd stare up to the stars sometimes when no one was around
GC
And he dreamed of getting out
FG
So he bought himself a pick-up truck that was covered up in rust
FG
He found a buddy for of shotgun seat that was someone he could trust
CC/BAm
And they hit the gas, headed west out to the setting sun
FGC
When the dust had cleared, they were gone.
FG
Well leaving just came natural, that's the way it seemed to him
FG
He'd been doing it so long, that's the way he'd always been
CC/BAm
And you can find him in some hotel room with the television on
CC/BAm
He might be high and he'll probably ramble on
CC/BAm
You can laugh beneath fluorescent lights and drink until the dawn
FGC
But in the mornin'....in the mornin' when you wake up he'll be gone.
CF
So he met a girl in a town along the way
GCG
She had beautiful brown eyes and a place that he could stay
CF
So he fell in love, and she fell in love in kind
GCG
It was so perfect that of course he lost his mind.
FG
He snuck of the kitchen one day before the dawn
FG
She called out after him and ran across the lawn
CC/B
And he said some things that he didn't mean
Am
That he'd best be travelin' on
FGC
She shed some tears and he was gone.
FG
Well leaving just came natural, that's the way it seemed to him
FG
He'd been doing it so long, that's the way he'd always been
CC/BAm
And you can find him in some hotel room with the television on
CC/BAm
He might be high and he'll probably ramble on
CC/BAm
You can laugh beneath fluorescent lights and drink until the dawn
FGC
But in the mornin'....in the mornin' when you wake up he'll be gone.
CF
Eighteen years later, fifteen-hundred miles from home
GCG
He can't shake her from his mind though the whiskey soaks his bones
CF
He heads out on a back-roads in the middle of the night
GCG
Head up to the meadow, you know he timed that curve just right
FG
But some bridges you cross over but the rest you've got to burn
FG
He may have lost the road the road but I know he made his turn
CC/BAm
And as we pulled him from the wreckage, I promised him a song
FGC
Cuz it was clear that he was gone.
FG
Well leaving just came natural, that's the way it seemed to him
FG
He'd been doing it so long, that's the way he'd always been
CC/BAm
And you can find him in some hotel room with the television on
CC/BAm
He might be high and he'll probably ramble on
CC/BAm
You can laugh beneath fluorescent lights and drink until the dawn
FGC
But in the mornin'....in the mornin' when you wake up he'll be gone.
