Slowness Calexico
CALEXICO: Slowness
------------------
(album: Carried to Dust, 2008)
This is a beautiful tune off the Calexico's 2008 "Carried to Dust" album. It was
nowhere to be found tabbed on the Net, so when I discovered a good solo acoustic
rendition by Calexico's own Joey Burns, it went without questioning... The video,
by the way, is here (worthwhile): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTaMaYExIjE
There are still a few parts of the song where caution is advised - in the kinda
pre-chorus line and then at the end of the chorus. Those parts are hard to figure
out from the video, but you can simply rely on my version transcribed here - it
works (I promise:-).

M[C]iles of highway poppies, a[Em] stretch of maybe flowers
[Dm]Past Signal Hill a w[G]ays
W[C]e were parked and searching[Em]
For a hubcap rolling [Dm]into the fields of t[G]horns
F G ?/G# Am D*
Although we couldn't see a thing that night
[C]Sta[Fmaj7]rs still[C] sh[Fmaj7]one
In their [C]slowness[Fmaj7]
And their[C] slowness
[C/B]Took us[G/B] by surprise[C]
I[C]f I never told you[Em] how you helped to rescue
[Dm]The car and all insid[G]e
R[C]emember roads were steep and[Em]
You and I went sliding dow[Dm]n the grade from Gate's P[G]ass
F G ?/G# Am D*
You asleep and me behind the wheel hovering
[C] I[Fmaj7]n that slo[C]wnes[Fmaj7]s
And that[C] slowness
H[C/B]as neve[G/B]r gone awa[C]y

Although we couldn't see a thing that night
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7...
Stars still shone, stars still shone, stars still shone,
C Fmaj7...
In their slowness, in their slowness, in their slowness...
And their[C] slowness
[C/B]Never g[G/B]one awa-a-ay[C]
