I am from Salinas where the women go forever
And they never ever to stop to ask why
My mother was a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour
Long blond curly hair down to her thigh
--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|
--0------0------0------0------1-----0----|
--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|
--5------3------2------0------2-----0----|x2
--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|
--5------3------2------0------0-----0----|

  Oh     my   mother         Oh      my  friands
--0------0------0------0------0------0---0---|
--12-----8------9------8------0------7-->8---|(slide?)

--12-----8------10-----9------0------0---9---|
--0------0------0------0------0------0---0---|
--0------0------0------0------0------0---0---|

Ask the angles:
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------8---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------7----->9---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|

Will I ever see heaven again?
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------5---|
--0-------0------0---|
--2-------1------5---|

Late into the evening, they would take each other screaming
Looking darkly to the back of her eye
The careless beast was bleating that the air behind was breathing
That they mustn't ever look up to the sky
--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|
--0------0------0------0------1-----0----|
--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|
--5------3------2------0------2-----0----|x2
--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|
--5------3------2------0------0-----0----|

There are no answers
There  are   founds
Ask the angles:
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------8---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------7----->9---|x3
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|

'Am I heaven-bound?'
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------5---|
--0-------0------0---|
--2-------1------5---|

Hmm put it down to me
I who speak awkwardly
Any word, if it is heard, is not intended to be
Not for him, not for her
Not for them, and not for me
--0------0------0------0---|
--0------0------0------0---|
--0------0------0------0---| x4
--5------3------2------0---|
--0------0------0------0---|

Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand?
--0------2------0---|
--0------1------0---|
--0------2------0---|
--0------0------0---|
--0------0------0---|
--0------0------0---|

after that play these sections:

--0------0------0------0|--0------0------0------0|
--2------3------2------0|--2------3------2----->7|
--0------0------0------0|--0------0------0------0|
--0------0------0------0|--0------0------0------0|

Hmm when the clouds roll in, we start paying for our sins
With a gun in my hand and my son at my shoulder
Believe I will run before that boy gets older
--0------0------0------0---|
--0------0------0------0---|
--0------0------0------0---| x3

I am from Salinas where the women go forever
And they never ever stop to ask why
My mother she's a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour

Ask the angles:
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------8---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------7----->9---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|

'Will I ever see heaven again?'
'Will I ever see even again?'

--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|
--5------3------2------0------2-----0----|
--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|
--5------3------2------0------0-----0----|

Punish them all, for they speak too much
Hate the world for what it did to us
--0------0------0------0|
--0------0------0------0|
--0------0------0------0|
--5------3------2------0|
--0------0------0------0|

I'm quite sure this is about 100% correct ...but let me know if something's wrong!
I am so happy about this wonderful new album and I just couldn't wait for someone to 
tell me how to play this song, I tried!
Cheers,
Marlene
