this tab is 100% correct. Based of the video of him playing it here: http://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQNmEQHkSkg&feature=related. It's a very fast song to
play, chord changes can be difficult at first
Verse 1:
A D A D
There’s a backyard show where everybody goes
A E
‘cause everybody knows at this masquerade
A D A D
They wear strange costumes and heave water balloons
A E A
and one kid’s dressed up like a deviled egg
D A
That’s when I say, “ What’s this? There’s something that I’ve missed
E
there ain’t nothing like this back in Upstate”
A D A D
But “When in Louisville,” they say, “join the crazy ballet”
A E A
So with blazing waterguns I join the fray
Chorus:
F#m A Bm E
Yes I learned on that day what local flavor means
F#m A Bm E
With a dinner made from dumpsters on Kentucky streets
F#m D A E
You won’t learn anything tied up in restaurant chains
F#m D A E (dampen all strings)
Why bother traveling if it all just tastes the same?
Interlude: A,D x 3 E, Repeat.
Verse 2:
A D A D
On the guidebook page a travel-weary sage
A E
is sharing the best secrets from her latest trek
A D A D
Then the tourists come and money builds it up and
A E A
pretty soon the place is just a wreck
D A
But when I hit the road I want pie a la mode
E
from a café where they don’t wear uniforms
A D A D
Where the salt of the earth season their hometown turf
A E A
with art that you can’t find in any store
Chorus:
F#m A Bm E
Yes I know there’s nothing new out on the interstate
F#m A Bm E
And a journey’s pointless if the asphalt mediates
F#m D A E
You won’t find anything if you’re tied with retail chains
F#m D A E
Why bother traveling if it all just looks the same
Verse 3:( First five lines are a capella)
There’s a warehouse show out in New Mexico and
films are being screened up on a Brooklyn roof
Basement galleries in Knoxville,
Tennessee and Tallahassee games under the moon
D A
So will you come with me to either shining sea
E
to cleanse the monoculture from our souls?
A D A D
Then we’ll roam town to town listening for any sound
A E A
that can tell us they’re having a show
(single strums)A D A D
So raise a glass of your sweat to acknowledge the debt
A E A
that we owe to our most gracious hosts
