Sailor Song Regina Spektor
Regina Spektor - Sailor Song
(Tabbed by Mike Long on 1/10/07)
A little weird on the guitar. The strumming pattern is key.
Play along and you'll get it. I kinda hinted to the counting
in the first verse, but just listen close!
You could also pluck the bass note and then the 1st and 2nd
strings for each chord (what Regina does on the piano, moreorless)
but master the rhythm first...
The chord changes should match almost perfectly with the lyrics...
G(arpeggio) C (1 count) F (2 counts)
she .........will kiss til your lip bleeds
G (1/2 count) C(1/2 count)
but she will not take her dress off
[C]americana, [F]tropicana
G(arpeggio) C F
all..........the sailor boys have demons
they sing "[G]oh kentucky [C]why did [G]you fo[F]rsake me
if i was [G]meant to sail the [C]sea [G]why did you [F]make me
it should've [G]been another s[C-G]tate
oh st[C-G-F]a-a-ate..
cause [C]mary anne's a [F]bitch
[C]mary anne's a [F]bitch
C ---------- C/B# - Fm - F ------> G/G/G/G !!!
mary anne's a biiiiiiiiiiiiiitch
G (arpeggio) C F
does.........it matter that our anchors
couldnt [G]even reach the [C]bottom of a [F]bath tub
and the [G]sails reflect the [C]moon,
its su[G]ch a strange [F]job
playing [G]black jack on the [C]deck
still... a[C]top this giant [F]puddle dressed in
[G]white we'd quitely [C]huddle [G]with our [F]missiles
and we [G]miss the girls back [C]ho[-]me[G]
oh hom[C]e [-]sw[G]ee[-]t [F]home
cause mary anne's a bitch
mary anne's a bitch
mary anne's a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch.........
she will kiss until your lip bleeds
but she will not take her dress off
americana, tropicana.....
