Caroline Ave Tab

by Tarkio



Artist: Tarkio
 Album: Omnibus
  Song: Caroline Avenue


This intro is hard to tab since it's so 'loose'. Basically, the single
notes below are ones you should emphasize between the strumming -
give it some practice and it will sound right.

e|--------------------------------|
B|-3-3-------3-------3----3-------|
G|-2-2-2-0---x-------0----0-------|
D|-0-0-----4-2-------0----0-------|
A|-0-0-------0-----0h2--0h2-------|
E|--------------------------------|

The D throughout can often be replaced by a Dsus2 (x00230) or just D without
a 3rd (x0023x), and the A can be played as the Asus4 above (x02230) or (x02x30)

Intro:  


                              
The things you said - were they true?
                  
'Cos I haven't got a clue
                              
And wouldn't know, if they were not true

                    
'Cos I am here paper doll
                   
I am waiting for your call
                    
But I won't wait until tomorrow

           
So hard to mention
                
When you're in my [shoes]
                                  
But I'm tired of riding shotgun for you

                   
As we light down Caroline Avenue
          
 Time will tell you that you're
                                      
 Thinking that you're right when you are wrong
                          
And I'm thinking that this evening won't last
                                
Long, no no. 'Cos I'm getting pretty tired
                 
Of you waxing so inspired
                                  
'Bout the lights down Caroline Avenue

Repeat Intro

Serves you right, to feel this way
Be so clinically deranged
But I won't stand for all your bullshit
So take your time, cos we've got time
Remember what is yours is mine
Don't let it slide by the way-side

Reeling from the tension
It's all ending here
And I'm chasing shots of whiskey with Everclear

Repeat Chorus

                        
And you're trying so hard
            
But it takes more than just
                      
Flipping off traffic cops to impress me
Repeat Intro
(You underestimate me)


Emptied out, fallen free
It will catch up with me
And I'm [?] impatient
But I will wait, if you decide
It's all over bar the tide
And I will stay behind 'till you decide

Carry me till daylight
With your wisdom [fair?]
Till tomorrow finds me shoeless in jail

Repeat Chorus
