I Fell Into Painting Houses In Phoenix Arizona


Song: I fell into painting houses in phoenix, arizona Artist: Richmond Fontaine Tabbed by: Jpencz (couchy@gmail.com) Standard tuning Capo 5th fret The whole song he plays his chords with variations of the actual chord, taking a finger off and hammering on. It might not be exact but here is how I hear it, and sounds pretty good. He doesn't always do it, so just listen to the song and try to mimic it using variations like these: Em C G e|----0--0-0-0------0-0-0-0-------3--3-3-3----| B|----0--0-0-0------1-1-1-1-------0--0-0-0----| G|----0--0-0-0------0-0-0-0-------0--0-0-0----| D|----2--0-2-0------2-0-2-0-------0--0-0-0----| A|----2--2-2-2------3-3-3-3-------2--0-2-0----| E|----0--0-0-0------0-0-0-0-------3--3-3-3----| intro: Em verse 1: Em G Am C I fell into painting houses in Phoenix Em G Am C I'd been there a week picked up an illegal on the street Dm Am G Em The kid was nineteen years old Em G Am Em had a wife and kid in Loreto Mexico G Dm Am The suburbs in the that town are a sprawl Em G Am Em we never knew where we were at all Em G Am C we worked five days straight then we didnt pick him up Em G Am C and i knew that the kid had never been paid Dm Am G Em probably just waited at the meetin spot all day G Dm Am we drove to a different part of town Em G Am Em picked up another kid for a job in the suburb *harmonica interlude 1* ---- Em G Am C Dm Am G Em ---- Verse 2: Em G Am C I didnt show up the next day Em G Am Em I aint shit but I aint that way G Dm Am Got a job as a janitor at turf paradise Em G Am Em and i moved in with a girl who worked on the backside G Dm Am at night id always read the news Em G Am Em metro section of the scottsdale tribune G Dm Am a family left in the trunk of a car Em G Am Em or a family abandoned in the desert alone *harmonica interlude 2* ---- Em G Am C Dm Am G Em e|----------------| B|----------------| G|----------------| D|--5--4--2--0----| A|--------------3-| E|----------------| G C G Am Em ---- outro: Em G Am C watch a horse break down Em G Am C or your girlfriend who cant stand the sight of her own face Em G Am C or to watch your sister drink her life away Em G Am C get me out of here get me out of here Em G Am Em get me out of here get me out of here
