::::: Slate ::::: Played on a twelve string with the high E strings tuned down to D. intro A7Sus4 D Aadd4 G A7Sus4 D A worn out joke to keep the flies away Aadd4 G Carried it this far A7Sus4 D Got the westside winds keep it steady Aadd4 G Bury the hatchets we find A7Sus4 D Could carry that heavy load Aadd4 G If I really thought it would matter E7 Aadd4 Farcical hair appears E7 As a blind side A7Sus4 D Clean the slate Chorus A7Sus4 D Working in the halls of shame G Lay it down in full view Em7 Lay it down What the hell were we thinking Before the fire burned out Can't find you now Didn't know you then Loneliness drinks the bitters Till the cold wind's warm again To feel born again Mouth open wide, screams and hollers Chorus Gambled once and won, never made a dollar Beauty fades to gray I pray the very best will guard her And provide a way There's a telltale sign And it's chairs up, time to go Chorus --------------------------------------------------------------------- a neat way to tie the "A" chords to the G and D are to slide the "E" note fretted on the second string up to the fourth fret, and then pull it off. Example d--0------------0------ b--3------------0------ g--0------------0------ d--2-----2/4p0--0------ a--0------------2------ e---------------3------ have fun!
