The Replacements

Skyway
Tricky fingerpicking:
To get the feeling try playing the D chord and alternate the way you
play the last string between the 2nd fret (as in a D) and the open
string (D9). Do the same with the GM7 chord (alternate on the little
string between the second fret and the open string). I fingerpick the
whole song and it sounds ok.
For the D: easy to play for everybody...
1 E: 2 (alternate with open string (e))
2 B: 3
3 G: 2
4 D: 0
5 A: 0
6 E: X
For the GM7: hard to play for beginners...
1 E: 2 (alternate with open string (e))
2 B: 0
3 G: 0
4 D: 0
5 A: 2
6 E: 3
Skyway
(The Replacements)
Capo 3rd fret
intro:
You take the Skyway
High above the busy little one way
In my stupid automn gloves at night a lie awake
Wanderin' if I'll sleep
Wanderin' if we'll meet out in the street
To take the Skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold like any other place
It's warm up inside
Sittin' down and waitin' for a ride
Beneath the Skyway
(or )
Oh then one day
I saw you walkin' down that little one way
Where the place I catch my ride most everyday
They weren't a dawn thing I could do or say
Up in the Skyway
Skyway Skyway
