Hey Hey Revolver Tab

by The Felice Brothers


This is "Hey Hey Revolver" by the Felice Brothers

For the little riff thing, just strum semi-specifically at the A, D, G strings in the
G chord and the D, G, B strings of the C. Hitting the strings surrounding each
“main” note is okay, and results in the fullish sound heard on the record.
Here's a tab of it, sort of

G------------------------4-|
D---------------------5----|(5)
A------------------5-(5)---|
E-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-(3)------|

and

B--------5-|
G-----5----|(5)
D--5-(5)---|
A-(3)------|

For the rest of the fingering, it's mostly just playing around. There's never any fancy 
deviating from the chords

Intro:
 (barre)  (barre)
 


Verse:
           
I put this shovel down
          
Hire me on better ground
I can’t afford no gas
I walk to work on the overpass

My teenage daughter’s knocked up
Oh, Janey, this time, you really fucked up
You ought to be in the hospital,
But I can’t afford to go the bill

Chorus:
             
Hey hey, revolver
             
Don’t lead me on
                               ()
Your shiny barrel’s long and narrow
            
Hey hey, revolver


I put this shovel down,
I walk the line into Hudson town
The blue Burger King billboard signs
Remind me of her mother’s eyes

She ran off to be a movie star
I hope she found what she was looking for
I promised Janey we’d see L.A.
If I ever made some cash some day

Chorus
 a few times
End on C

The thunder effect proved impossible to tab
