               Blood's Too Rich - Luke Doucet and the White Falcon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard (,,,,,)

I bought this CD after seeing them with Blue Rodeo, and it is just great. I
was appalled at how few tabs there is for Mr.Doucet, I figured I'd start
filling this up. This is my first chord tab, and I did it all by ear. Didn't
and constructive criticism (fyi, IronMarc like Iron Maiden and 666 refers to
their song "The Number of the Beast". I have nothing against God). Enjoy the
tab!

*For the G marked with the *, play it as:
e|-x-|
B|-3-|
G|-0-|
D|-0-|
A|-2-|
E|-3-|
I'm no good at naming chords, I'd say it's just a G with the high e note not
played)

Verse 1:
                                                       
Take my mother, my sister, my brother, and my first born son.

                        
Ne' er do wells, everyone.

                                                          
There's a fracture in the fabric of the family's old scotch pine.

                         
But it will heal if given time.


Verse 2:
                                     
I for one am a believer in the nod and shake.

                            
We'll get on, it's never too late.

                                               
It's a part of your cult that I might keep for myself.

               
Turn the other cheek (that's nice).

                
But not that but about your hell.


Chorus:
                                            *
Because my blood's too rich for subway cars, and I'm too poor for a cab.

                                                      
I'm too old for the girl I love but she doesn't know it yet.

                                     *
When I die I will leave no shadows of regret.

                                           
I'm too tired to make amends that cannot go unsaid
