------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mason City-Fiery Furnaces ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Album: Blueberry Boat Transcribed by: Martin Mokran If you don't own this album already, BUY IT! They're one of the few bands today that tries something new, they could use the support. -I'm certain of parts 1 and 3, but the second section of Part 2-"Up for shade on Crumb is a little odd. I'm not sure what chords to use to back it. If anyone figures it out me at stupidalternative@yahoo.com and I'll correct it and give you props. Enjoy *the A might sound better barred, up to you ---------------------------Part 1-------------------------------------- C A Came a card marked Mason City F C From my forwarder. C A Shut the door, don’t let my dad see; F C Read aloud dear sir: --- F G Understanding you account an upright gent- Bb C lemen Aetna Life agreed and lent. Bb G~ By the way, my fee is 2.6 percent. ---- C A Write again the Riceville widow F C S - A - S - E C A I would guess they’ll be turned out though F C I’ll still make my plea: ---- F G If the Dunlay heirs cannot be seen to care, Bb C Then the Banker’s Trust will surely think it fair Bb G~ To not give extensions, as they musn’t dare. --- *first solo* backing chords is an exact repeat of ^^^^^^ --- C A Write Des Moines on several matters F C And I near anoint, C A Ladle thick the pleasant flatters, F C And then comes the point; -- F G Mr. Nelson wouldn’t like to hear it said Bb C As he’s too proud, so I do it in his stead: Bb G~ He shall need an extension—so it read. --------------------------Part 2----------------------------------------- C#m Take....

I believe the song actually goes C#m-Cm-D, but the D is low, maybe you could drop the E string to D, but I don't feel like it. So I supplemented with F#, which sounds alright. By the way, power chords may be best for this part C#m Cm F# --Take the Oregon Short Line to Salt Lake; C#m take the Pere Marquette, take the Michigan Central, Cm F# to West Madison for Christ’s sake. C#m Forgemen, Molders, Blacksmiths, Boilermakers, Cm F# None on the make. *THE PART I DON'T KNOW :( Up for shade on Crumb Hill Get something to make my hands still. But now—Wait. -------------------------Part 3------------------------------------------ *begin playing A one meter A How are you my nabs? F# Little tender footed crabs, D A Meet my knuckle duster. A You geeched that gazoon’s gow F# Tried to break into the bow: D A Go wipe your nose. (A-G#-F#)- quick change, once each F#~ I’m just hanging out with some noler knockums, F Just passing time waiting till my stack comes. A Prussian who got jackered, F# My snapper till your knockered, D A Get on the snam. A The chivman wants your chip; F# Better dummy up then go dip: D A You’re outta turn. (A-G#-F#)quickly F# I learned that the lowest form of life is the buffer nabber, F Even worse than the dicer stabber. THEN COMES THE SOLO...which I didn't tab--just keep it in A and you're safe.
