Black Cab Tab

by Jens Lekman


The lead guitar part (you'll know where it fits in the song) is as follows:
                       
|---------------------|---------------------|
|-10---10---10---10---|-12---10---10---10---|
|----9----9----9----9-|----9----9----9----9-|
|---------------------|---------------------|
|---------------------|---------------------|

|---------------------|-9-------------------|
|-12---10---10---10---|-----12---10---12----|

Intro:
    (4x)
    
  oh no, god damn
               
  I missed the last tram
             
  I killed a party again
              
  god damn, god damn
         
I wanna sleep in my bed
         
  I wanna clean up my head
              
  don't wanna look this dead
                       
don't wanna feel this dread

    (2x)

I killed a party again
I ruined it for my friends
well you're so silent, Jens
well maybe I am, maybe I am

now at the central station
no time for being patient
I feel like going home
but at the same time I don't

                
  black cab, black cab
                 
  black cab, black cab
                 
  black cab, black cab
                 
  black cab, black cab  

and I've heard all the stories
'bout the black cabs and the way they drive
but if you take a ride with them
you may not come back alive

they might be psycho killers
but tonight I really don't care
so I say turn up the music
take me home or take me anywhere

black cab, black cab
black cab, black cab


  you don't know anything

  so don't ask me questions

  you don't know anything

  so please don't ask me any questions

  you don't know anything

  so don't ask me questions

  just turn the music up

  and keep your mouth shut

black cab, black cab
black cab, black cab

    (4x)
