Ron Hawkins
album: The Secret of my Excess
transcribed by Kevin Cumming
intro: G Am Em C x2
NOTE: When playing Am in the intro, start off with the B string open and
then hammer on the 1st fret for the same sound that Ron has.
G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) CIf (x32010@1)Carolyn called me up today I'd hang up the phone and walk away
G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DIt's (xx0232@1)not that I don't care anymore but time changes locks on a lot of
doors
Em (022000@1) F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)I know what you're thinking and it's true
Em (022000@1) F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1)DSometimes (xx0232@1)there is nothing you can do
G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) CBut (x32010@1)there's a time that I recall a purple street in Lisbon
G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DShe (xx0232@1)was speaking dreams to me and I thought I was listening
G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) CBut (x32010@1)I was fifteen yards away before I felt the distance
G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DShe (xx0232@1)cried in Augusta street and stared into the windows
Em (022000@1) F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)I know what she's thinking and it's true
Em (022000@1) F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) DSometimes (xx0232@1)there is nothing she can do
C (x32010@1)G (320003@1) AmCarolyn (x02210@1)is tamed...
All those years and all those tears
Cuddling her insecure
And shaking like a child and feeling helpless
But maybe I share the blame
G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) CPeter (x32010@1)has a fan club he's a whiskey hating Christian
G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)he's in love with everyone as long as they keep listening
Em (022000@1) F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)there's a hole in my old faith where he belongs
Em (022000@1) F (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) DBut, (xx0232@1)the whole of me has never been that strong
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) AmPeter (x02210@1)is half-born...
With one foot in and one foot out
A princess on a barstool
Anarcho- Commun- Liberat- ingratiating stranger to me now

C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) AmChristopher (x02210@1)is wild...
