Slate

Uncle Tupelo

 A7sus4DAadd4G
 A7sus4D
 A worn out joke to keep the flies away

 Aadd4G
 Carried it this far

 A7sus4D
Got the westside winds keep it steady

 Aadd4G
 Bury the hatchets we find

 A7sus4D
 Could carry that heavy load

 Aadd4G
 If I really thought it would matter

 E7Aadd4
 Farcical hair appears

 E7
 As a blind side

 A7sus4D
 Clean the slate

Chorus
 A7sus4D
 Working in the halls of shame

 G
Lay it down in full view

 Em7
Lay it down

What the hell were we thinking
Before the fire burned out
Can't find you now
Didn't know you then
Loneliness drinks the bitters
Till the cold wind's warm again
To feel born again
Mouth open wide, screams and hollers

Chorus

Gambled once and won, never made a dollar
Beauty fades to gray
I pray the very best will guard her
And provide a way
There's a telltale sign
And it's chairs up, time to go

Chorus

---------------------------------------------------------------------

a neat way to tie the "A" chords to the G and D are to slide the "E"
note fretted on the second string up to the fourth fret, and then pull
it off.

Example

d--0------------0------
b--3------------0------
g--0------------0------
d--2-----2/4p0--0------
a--0------------2------
e---------------3------


have fun!
