Subject: CRD: "Ballad of the Sad Cafe" by Calobo
"Ballad of the Sad Cafe" from the Calobo album "Runnin' in the River"
Brought to you by Mike Schweisthal ([email protected])
Notes: I'm not certain that these lyrics are entirely correct, but the
chords are pretty solid (my dad helped me with this one, I believe...) If
you know how to do hammer-ons and pull-offs with G and C chords, I
recommend messing around with them a bit--it sounds really nice with this
song. A '|' denotes a measure break.
Chords Used:
EADGBE
G: 320003
C: X32010
Am: X02210
Intro: | G | G | C | C |
G C
I'm looking out my window
G C
And I see the falling rain
G C
And I can't say what I don't know
G C
But I know I can't stand the pain
Am C G C
All my days are gone. . .looking for a new way. . .to find my rose
Am (tacet) C (tacet) G
And so the story goes. . .the ballad of the sad cafe. . .
C | G | G | C | C |
The ballad of the sad cafe
G C
And I put on my walking shoes
G C
To find a face that I can't see
G C
And I find the bottle and the blues
G C
You know this ain't my cup of tea
Am C G C
All my days are gone. . .looking for a new way. . .to find my rose
Am (tacet) C (tacet)
And so the story goes...
INSTRUMENTAL: | G | G | C | C | G | G | C | C |
Am C Am C (tacet)
And I know I'm gonna find her. . .somehow in my own sweet way
G C
In the ballad of the sad cafe. . .the ballad of the sad cafe
G C
I'm looking out my window
G C
And all I love is empty space
G C
And I can't see what I don't know
G C
But I'd love to find your face
Am C G C
All my days are gone. . .looking for a new way. . .to find my rose
