			     Epitaph - Hey Rosetta!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Andrew Maynard
Email: admaynar@ucalgary.ca

Tuning: Standard

&#9679;Intro

  C  dm  G (2x)
  F  C   G    
  C  dm  G
  F  C   G
  
&#9679;Verse 1
   C              dm                G
  bad luck just weaves through the city,
           F       C          G  (etc...)
  but it's keeping away from us
  we move at a crawl through the traffic
  and water street is humming along
  with me and cecilia singing
  and banging on the dashboard in time,
  we sing the words on her father's gravestone
  and he's there in the humid light...singing:

&#9679;Chorus
  am            G
  don't let the bastards grind you down... (3x)

&#9679;Verse 2 (same as verse 1)

  good luck's in town for the weekend
  so we stumble around until dawn
  daylight just melts through the narrows
  and those morning birds are humming along
  with me and cecilia singing
  and stamping on the asphalt to prove
  we are the children of strength and of vigor
  we were born in the morning blue...singing:

&#9679;Chorus (same as last chorus)

  don't let the bastards grind you down... (3x)

&#9679;Interlude
              C                         G
  when you're all, 'Jesus Murphy' and 'Ave Maria'
        am                        F   (etc...)
  and 'send me the courage', and 'let me be delivered'
  cause there's devils among us, there's devils living among us
  some have not got their teeth up, and some are ashes and near-dust
  and they're riding the freeways, and they're locking their front door at dusk
  and they're raising their families, and they're raising their fingers at us
  but this is a good town, this here is a heavy ancient thing
  this is a new land, this here is a thing they'll never see
  when they're all 'Jesus Murphy' and 'Ave Maria'
  and 'send me the courage', and 'let me be delivered'
  but
  am            G
  don't let the bastards grind you down (4x)

&#9679;Outro
  C             dm                G
  bad luck just weaves through the city
           F        C         G
  but it's keeping away from us.
