Tabbed by: Gabe Mathews


Tuning: Standard

The first note in this song is a high C, maybe 5th fret on 3rd (G) string.

Then there's this run:
e | -------00-0-0----------0-00-0-0-------- | 
B | -------11-1-1----------0-00-0-0-------- | 
G | -------00-0-0----------1-11-1-1-------- | 
D | -------22-2-2--2-0-0---2-22-2-2-2-0-0-- | 
A | -0-2-3-33-3-3--------3-2-22-2-2-------3 | 
E | -----------------------0-00-0-0-------- | 

That goes directly into a lightly palm muted Am chord. (All these verses are palm muted lightly)

A5
Mama when she'd ride that horse
A5
Buried out in Wilson field
A5
Mama'd tell me all she thought
A5
Mama'd tell me all how ridin' feels

        C5                 E5
And I thought
       A5
Not yet

A5
Then mama got too old
A5
And no one ever rode that horse
A5
Until one night I stole her key
A5
And I did ride it all night til dawn

        C5                E5
And I thought
        A5
Not yet

A5
It looks an ugly world out there
A5
Of girl-guides, disease and war
A5
I love my little velvet bed
A5
I never want to leave it any more

               C5               E5
At least not
        A5
Not yet

A5
Charlie was the first I caught
A5
And Charlie was the first I begged
A5
To lay an anchor in my heart
A5
As he ran his fingers down inside my legs

           C5                     E5
And I thought
        A5
Not yet


A5
Love I tried to find you           x several times

C5              E5                 A5
                                               not yet!
A5

C5
All my fears, they come to me in dreams
E5
May be the end at least far as it seems
A5
Not yet died and not yet mourned
A5
Not quite revived just not yet born

Am (palm muted)
Mama when she'd ride that horse
A5
Buried out in Wilson field
A5
Mama'd tell me all she thought
A5
Mama'd tell me all how ridin' feels

               C5              E5
And I thought
        A5
Not yet!
C5     E5              A5
No, mama
C5     E5              A5
No, mama
C5     E5              A5
No, mama
