Fig1
Shakedown 1979
Fig1
cool kids never have the time
F#m7add11 B Fig1
on a live wire right up off the street, you and I should meet
Fig1
junebug skipping like a stone
Fig1
with the headlights pointed at the dawn
F#m7add11 B
we were sure we'd never see an end to it all
E5 Emaj7 Fig2 E
and I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
Emaj7 Fig2 E Emaj7 Fig2
and we don't know just where our bones will rest to dust I guess
F#m7add11 B Fig1
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Fig1
double cross the vacant and the bored
Fig1
they're not sure just what we have in store
F#m7add11 A9
morpine city slippin dues down to see
E5 Emaj7 Fig2 E
that we don't even care as restless as we are
Emaj7 Fig2 E
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
Emaj7 Fig2 B5
and poured cement, lamented and assured
C#m Amaj9
to the lights and towns below
B5 C#m Amaj9
faster than the speed of sound
B5 C#m Amaj9 F#m7add11 B Fig1
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Fig1
Justine never knew the rules
Fig1
hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
Fig1
no apologies ever need be made
F#m7add11
I know you better than you fake it
B E Emaj7 Fig2 E
to see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
Emaj7 Fig2 E Emaj7 Fig2
and we don't know just where our bones will rest, to dust I guess
F#m7add11 B Fig1
forgotten and absorbed into earth below
Fig1
the street heats the urgency of now
E
as you see there's no one around

I gave it a 5/5, good fun to play and all correct apart from maybe the A(9)? Didn't seen quite right. Close though and very nice tab =D

I love this sooo much. Fig 1 is so spot on. I love playing it - my poor family has heard it 1,000 times by now.
I will make one suggestion for the less nimble players, like me: At the F#7all 11, try using a B7sus4 (7/9/7/9/7/7) followed by a B7 (7/9/7/8/7/7). It's a little less traveling and keeps the fingers really close by to move to the Fig 1 setup at 0/6/x/8/x/x that follow right after.
I know it's a decade afterwards - this entry is really fantastic and I am really enjoying your effort.
