Darker Streets Than Mine Tab

by The Wooden Sky


It's my first tab, but it sounds good.
Go on their myspace to listen the song, you will discover a very good band.

Capo 4

                                        
There are ghosts that walk the streets of this town
                                                    
And a lot of folks have been dying just to keep them around
                                    
I ain't lost and I sure as hell ain't found
                        
By the looks of things it might just rain all night
                                       
And we'll be stuck here with no bottles just trying to survive
                                    
Using fishing wire to build a paper kite
                                        
Dodging power lines just fending off the night

        
So I got up and I got drunk
        
And then I got down on my luck
                                      
Seems ever since you left me I've been swinging 
       
from a tree high above
                 
Where I've been looking down on love
                                                    
It's been a long time since we talked but I ain't changed
                                          
And as much as I ain't changed I'm not the same

                                             
So we talked a while and never mentioned our religions
                                       
I never told her how her god has got me down
                                               
How the word just ain't been something that I've found
        
By the looks of things it might just rain all night

And if we're stuck here with no bottles

Then we might as well get high


                                    
Using razor blades to cut out both our eyes
                                               
So when the morning comes we still won't see the light



        
So I got up and I got drunk
        
And then I got down on my luck
                                      
Seems ever since you left me I've been swinging 
       
from a tree high above
                 
Where I've been looking down on love
                                                    
It's been a long time since we talked but I ain't changed
                                          
And as much as I ain't changed I'm not the same
