Verse 1 -
C
Mary, this station is playing every sad song
Am
I remember like we were alive
C
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
Am
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
C
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Am
Licking young boys blood from her claws
C
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Am
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
Prechorus-

I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife

Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

C
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
Am
Better safe than making the party

And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside,
Am
With papers and poetry about Estella

great tab. but I would play the C and Am in the verse like this:
C (x32013)
Am7 (x02213)
The intro, I think, would be more like this...
For the bridge, I would (adjusting the bridge in my own tab) play it like this...
Can somebody figure out the bridge for the acoustic version? I've heard Brian do it a few different ways,this is my favorite though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB9-0S7IP8w
It sounds like he's finger picking a C and an Am, but I'm pretty bad at picking out these kinda things. Those two just seem to make sense though.
