change in other versions

Open G tuning: DGDGBD (just as Don't Ask Me Why - they go together)
Capo 2

Intro:

--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|
--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|

I am from Salinas where the women go forever
And they never ever to stop to ask why
My mother was a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour
Long, blond curly hair down to her thigh
--5------3------2------0------0-----0----|
--0------0------0------0------1-----0----|
--5------3------2------0------0-----0----| x2
--0------0------0------0------2-----0----|

--0------0------0------0------0------0---0---|
--12-----8------9------8------0------7-->8---|(slide?)
--0------0------0------0------0------0---0---|

Ask the angles:
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------7----->9---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------8---|
--0-------0------0---|

Will I ever see heaven again?
--2-------1------5---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------5---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|

Late into the evening, they would take each other screaming
Looking darkly to the back of her eye
The careless beast was bleating that the air behind was breathing
That they musn't ever look up to the sky
--5------3------2------0------0-----0----|
--0------0------0------0------1-----0----|
--5------3------2------0------0-----0----| x2
--0------0------0------0------2-----0----|

There are no answers
There  are   founds
Ask the angles:
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------7----->9---| x3
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------8---|
--0-------0------0---|

'Am I heaven-bound?'
--2-------1------5---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------5---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|
--0-------0------0---|

Hmm put it down to me
I who speak awkwardly
Any word, if it is heard, is not intended to be
Not for him, not for her
Not for them, and not for me
--5------3------2------0---|
--0------0------0------0---|
--5------3------2------0---| x4
--0------0------0------0---|

Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand?

--0------0------0------0|--0------0------0------0|
--0------0------0------0|--0------0------0------0|

Hmm when the clouds roll in, we start paying for our sins
With a gun in my hand and my son at my shoulder
Believe I will run before that boy gets older

I am from Salinas where the women go forever
And they never ever stop to ask why

'Will I ever see heaven again?'

--5------3------2------0------0-----0----|
--0------0------0------0------2-----0----|
--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|
--0------0------0------0------0-----0----|

Punish them all, for they speak too much
Hate the world for what it did to us
--5------3------2------0|
--0------0------0------0|
--5------3------2------0|
--0------0------0------0|
--0------0------0------0|

I'm quite sure this is about 100% correct ...but let me know if something's wrong!
I am so happy about this wonderful new album and I just couldn't wait for someone to 
tell me how to play this song, I tried!
Cheers,
Marlene

OK I WAS PROBABILY DRUNK WHEN I DID THIS. The concept is correct but I completely messed up the writing thing. Please do wait a few days, I wrote it again and it should be totally correct. I really hope that the ''Ultimate Guitar team'' will be kind enough to understand how awful this tab is, and to delete it as soon as possible. Do be gentle, writing a tab is not easy as it seems :)
