Oh Chico he lies

Well he got it coming
He don’t know when to quit

Just keeps his mouth running
From day into night

Grab the money and the bag

The cold Smith and Wesson
Going to take him out back

Going to teach him a lesson
That will stick in his mind

You better follow the lessons
Heed the signs
Don’t you follow him
Down past the borderline

Can’t find the dope

I don’t know where he hid it
Well he’s sneaky like that

Maybe we should just split
Put it out of our minds

Chico comes to

He heads south for the border
They got women and pills

That can stretch his disorder
Right over his eyes

He got ties to the Cartel
Put it out of your mind
Don’t you follow him
Down past the borderline

He was always high
No right from wrong
Literally out of his mind
I heard there’s a golden gate
That glows like the sunshine
I’ll meet you there
This ain’t forever
This is goodbye

Slide in with no passport

No trail of paper
Well I know where he’s staying

He’ll be meeting his maker
And I will get mine

So I kick in the door

At the Casa de Nada
He swings from the fan

Like a busted pinata
With no candy prize

Better cut my losses
Just get out alive
Head up north
Cross the borderline

Rush to my woman in waiting
No way to rewind
Should have never gone
Down past the borderline

someone to follow, someone to fear, it keeps me in line oh it keeps me in

gear. the hand that lashed out brought me to tears thats why i’m drinkin up

all of these beers. and the bar and the beer keeps me coming back to here

this drunken stumper is not what it seems, helps me laugh, helps me dream.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_white_buffalo/bar_and_the_beer_tab.html )
I had a fight with the woman so i stop in to think. I had my psychologist

pour me a drink, but my head is cloudy so it’s plain to see we’ll work

things out oh the bottle and me and the bar and the beer keeps me coming

back to here this drunken stumper is not what it seems helps me laugh,

helps me dream —–INTRO——- and the bar and the beer keeps me coming

back to here, this drunken stumper is not what it seems helps me laugh

helps me dream. —-repeat—- after last intro

(Verse)
I’m dreaming wide awake
Sleep walking, shake the dust out
Got to give this heart a break,
I can’t seem to slow the beats down

There ain’t no going home
Just a silence and a wave goodbye
I don’t really know about nothin’
Just know that I’m wasting time now

(Chorus)
And it’ll be one lone night
Should I keep drinking ‘til the morning light?
Should I settle down just to get my head right?
Or should I drive?

And it’ll be one lone night
Should I buy a ticket for a midnight flight?
Or should I end it all on this here knife?
Or should I…?

(Verse)
Well there’s no light in a lost hope
I got to get back to you somehow
Tongue-twisted sick joke
Yet there’s no way of figuring out

Well maybe it’s much too late
Time to slow things down
Well there’s torture in the weight
And the weight is too heavy now

(Chorus)
And it’ll be one lone night
Should I keep drinking ‘til the morning light?
Should I settle down just to get my head right?
Should I drive?

And it’ll be one lone night
Should I buy a ticket for a midnight flight?
Should I end it all on this here knife?
Or should I…try now?

(Bridge)
Try now
She says, “Try now”
She says, Try now”
Try now.

(Chorus)
Well it’ll be one lone night
Should I keep drinking ‘til the morning light?
Should I settle down just to get my head right?
Should I drive?

And it’ll be one lone night
Should I buy a ticket for a midnight flight?
Should I end it all on this here knife?
Should I…?

It’ll be one lone night
Should I keep drinking ‘til the morning light?
Should I settle down just to get my head right?
Should I drive?

It’ll be one lone night
Should I buy a ticket for a midnight flight?
Should I end it all on this here knife?
Should I…?

She says, “Try now…”

So I sit back and watch
I see all their masks soon appear
I long for the woods
From this place I’ll disappear

They all strive to deviate from the norm
But collectively swarm to be all the same
Well, to alter image prosthetics are worn
Their primped plastic forms melt in the heat of the light

So I step to the light
I see all their masks soon appear
I long for the woods
From this place I’ll disappear
Disappear, disappear, oh lord, disappear

CHORDS
Verse: G, Em, C, G
Chorus: D, C, G, Em

VERSE
Tell me, where the hell did I go wrong?
It feels like a lifetime ago since my fall from grace.
Woman, treat me like you want it,
not like you have to, to keep me around.

Woman, without you there is no me,
and I’ll always be your one, youre my everything.

CHORUS
Ah well here comes the morning sun
puts it’s arms around everyone.
Can you feel it?

Ah oh the first of spring,
make us all new again.
Oh dont you want it, like I want it?
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_white_buffalo/dont_you_want_it_crd.html )
VERSE
Mother, when did you let me go?
Im still that dastardly boy through a sea of grace.

Father, well I still dont know who failed who,
but we’ve got the same bitter blood running through our veins.

CHORUS
Ah well here comes the morning sun,
puts it’s arms around everyone.
Oh can you feel it?

Ah oh the first of spring,
make us all new again.
Oh dont you want it, like I want it?

INTERLUDE

VERSE
Tell me, are there really any answers?
The only thing really is love in this crooked world.

CHORUS
Ah here comes the morning sun,
puts it’s arms around everyone.

Ah oh the love you bring
takes away everything.
Oh can you feel it?

Ah oh the first of spring,
make us all new again.
Oh dont you want it,
like I want it?

INTRO: Em C Em D (2x)

Thirty days back
Back from the war
Still adjusting my mind
Adjusting my score

Too long in the desert
Too long in the sun
Still looking for answers
But I ain’t got none

INTERLUDE: Em C Em D (2x)

Got a heart and a head
Too heavy to heal
Put a pistol in my mouth
Just to feel something real

They built me up strong
Made me numb and mean
Shipped me on home
One killing machine

OUTRO: Em C Em D (2x) Em

Hi. This is my first Tab so I’d welcome any comments about layout and stuff. I’ve only
difficulty due to the barre chords, however I’m sure its simple enough for most of you.

Best just listen to the song to work out strumming, suffice to say the Bm plays the low
E string baseline every measure I think.

All Chords are Barre except the G marked with a

(VERSE 1)
Well, The day that carnage came to town
We locked and bolted our doors down,
We laid silent on the ground,
Hoping we would not be found
As children moan as the mother cries
I hide the fear from my eyes
We creep down the cellar door
Underneath the rotting floor

(CHORUS)
Bm A G A
Ooooooooooooooh, I can’t see the light,

Well is it day, or has darkness come like am in my brothers fight

Bm A G A
Woooooooooooooh’ when will days a be done

G A Bm
Ah said, will we see, will we see the sun

(VERSE 2)
We hold up stock down in the cave
Two weeks gone by, when will be saved
The rats go ahead and steal their share
For in the darkness we’re unaware
Well, I try to keep the others strong
We won’t last down here very long
How many lives have our boys gave
And have we built our shallow grave

(VERSE 3)
Skin and bones we waste away
Two months gone by no light of day
Children rocking back and forth
They don’t play much anymore
The smell of death is in the air
Our chances are much less than fare
To leave may be our certain doom
To stay shelter becomes a tomb
