This is an amazing track by Adrian Belew and i’ll try to trascribe it as you can hear on “Belewprints The Acoustic Adrian Belew Vol. 2”, basically not so different as the original version in “Mr. Music Head” and as you can hear on this live performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD-GrAMUzO8 Tuning is the one Adrian called “Double DAD” and it is D# A# D# D# A# D#. It’s written to play with a Dobro guitar but you can play of course with a standard guitar in the right tune (on the live performance linked above the tuning is DADDAD). It’s basically composed of 5 songs and I’ll try to write naming the fills one by one and put it together wit1h some different parts.Was this info helpful?

Difficulty:	intermediate
Tuning:	D G C F A D
Key:	Eb
Capo:	no capo

Through the trash and the warning signs
There was a party full of jokes and clich's
I couldn't think of anything to say

I took the stairs from my head to my heart
I didn't know they were so far apart
The heart is like a little chapel somewhere
The pretty lights and the empty chairs

She walks me down to my private train
And lays me down in my sleeping car
She keeps my elephant out of the rain
And sees to the care of my vintage cars

Around my neck
On a sad sun deck
