Half a Smidge Calexico
In the interest of honesty, these chords have been provided by the Chordify
service. They *should* be correct. This song is an excellent example of Calexico's
lighter side. Enjoy it!
Note: Please pay attention to the strumming style in the original-- I can't really
transcribe it here, but it makes the fairly simple chord progression more interesting.
[C]When the [G]evening sun is [F]setting low
[C]Blinding [G]you on your [F]drive home
[C]And the [G]lanes of traffic [F]all converge
[C]Causing y[G]ou to curse e[F]very other word
[Em]For to [G]wish it all [C]away
(pause briefly, then slowly sweep downward with pick/one finger on C)
[C]Daily [G]grind's got your s[F]crew stripped
[C]No can of [G]double-ya-dee [F]forty can fix your [Em]situat[G]ion
Seems [C]to be losing ste[F]am
[C]Dream's [G]been dropped on [F]credit c[G]ards
[Am]And [C]false hope p[Em]umping out of your s[F]oul
[F]Like oil [C]in the [G]gulf it's a dead [F]end
[Am]Drive it [C]further deep into [F]the ground
[G]Till the point's d[F]ull as your [G]skull
And the [F]same [Em]sun that you [Dm]curse
Powers your [G]hybrid heart [C]home
(more lightly now):
[C]If only this [G]car could move
[F]Half a smidge
