Purple Shadows Seasick Steve
Okay so I gave this a listen the other day and loads of people requested the tab and
chords. I couldn't find any lyrics so I also had to try and work them out any corrections
are appreciated!
There are various hammer ons in the song most of which I will cover but the song is
fairly straight forward listen and play along to the song to get the right timing you should
pick it up quite easily.
The chords you will need to know are C major, G major, E minor A minor, F major
I don't know the intro but the part before he plays C is
Fig 1
E---------------------| B---------------------| G---------------------| D---------------------| A-----------0-----2---| E-----3---------------|
then you play C and he hammers the 2nd fret D string and then plays the open G like this:
E--------0--------------| B--------1--------------| G--------0---------0----| D--------2---0h2--------| A----3---3--------------| E--------x--------------|
Then the song essentially goes like this:
Fig1 C
Them purple shadows fall across
And they s[Em]often everything they touch
And they g[F]ive me-e a [G]place to [Am]hide[G]
Fig1 C
And the moonlight all around
Surely going to [Em]wash these troubles down
And [F]cool the awful [G]burning-ness of [Am]love[G]
Talkin bout the [F]burning-ness
Yeah the [G]burning-ness, oh the [Am]burning-ness
Yeah the [F]burning-ness
We will cool down the awful [G]burning-ness of [C]love[G]
Then it's just the same for the rest of the song apart from the very last part where he
swaps the C for an E minor then goes back to how it's played in the rest like this:
We will cool down the awful [G]burning-ness of [Em]love [F]ooooh ooooh
We will cool down the awful [G]burning-ness of [C]love[G]
Here are the rest of the lyrics:
I hear your echo on the run
And them tears will start to come
They will dry me u-up and I?ll simply blow away
But while I?m blowin in the wind
Surely gonna feel again your soft skin
And remember-er the awful burning-ness of love
Talkin bout the burning-ness
Yeah the burning-ness, oh the burning-ness
Yeah the burning-ness
We will cool down the awful burning-ness of love
And the moonlight all around
Surely going to wash these troubles down
And cool the awful burning-ness of love
Talkin bout the burning-ness
Yeah the burning-ness, oh the burning-ness
Yeah the burning-ness
We will cool down the awful burning-ness of love
Enjoy!
