Sullivan Acoustic Tab

by Carolines Spine


Alright then. This is my first tab. Forced to do so because no one else has bothered to
it yet. This is an awesome song and i hope i came close. The verse and chorus follow the
patterns all the way through. Use the intro progession for the little break down part 
the end. And for the slower parts just finger pick.

Intro: ,  x4



it's not hard to reach back to the day
               
underneath that iowa sun

running to the tower of waterloo
                     
looking for the Sullivan's train to come

and his five boys would run to the top
               
and salute him as he went by
              
first we'd wave hello
             
then we'd wave goodbye, Daddy goodbye


it's not hard to reach back to the days
                
after the attack on pearl

overnight my buddies turned into men
                       
running out of time for games and girls

and the Sullivan boys were not overlooked
                      
Uncle Sam'll call them each by name
                               
the very next day they left on a mystery train

                  
say goodbye, Mrs. Sullivan
                   
and don't you cry

                 
"-We regret to inform you
                  
the Navy has taken your sons away-"
                     
all five... so put your blue stars in the window
