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:-).

C Em
Miles of highway poppies, a stretch of maybe flowers
Dm G
Past Signal Hill a ways
C Em
We were parked and searching
Dm G
For a hubcap rolling into the fields of thorns
F G ?/Ab Am D*
Although we couldn't see a thing that night
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Stars still shone
C Fmaj7
In their slowness
C
And their slowness
C/B G/B C
Took us by surprise
C Em
If I never told you how you helped to rescue
Dm G
The car and all inside
C Em
Remember roads were steep and
Dm G
You and I went sliding down the grade from Gate's Pass
F G ?/Ab Am D*
You asleep and me behind the wheel hovering
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
In that slowness
C
And that slowness
C/B G/B C
Has never gone away
(VERSE chords) [solo/melody/whistle] C Em Dm G x2
F G ?/Ab Am D*
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...
C
And their slowness
C/B G/B C
Never gone awa-a-ay
