Benton Harbor Blues - The Fiery Furnaces
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: The Valrus
Email: valrus@bluebottle.com
Tuning: Standard
Notes: Fantastic song, sounds great on solo guitar if you skip or just
don't stress about the bridge. And, of course, skip the weird bits
if you play the 7-minute version with the extra verse.

Section A:
Well it's not for me to fill the blue sea with tears,
but when I think back on all the wasted years,
all the good cheer and all of the charm disappears.

Section B:
I wore the exact same clothes for five days.
The bailbondsman gave me a smile.
I was just thinking of only my sins all the while.
Section A:
As I try to fill all of my empty days,

Of all my past, only the sadness stays.
