CRACKING (Suzanne Vega)
-----------------------
[Actually in B; capo up four frets.]
[Csus2] [intro] [G/B] [G5] [G5/F#] [Csus2] [G/B] [G5] [G5/F#] [G5/F#]

[intro]
It's a [Csus2]one time t[G/B]hing, it just[G5] happens[G5/F#] a lot
[Csus2] Walk with m[G/B]e and [G]we will see what [G5/F#]we have got
[Csus2]Ahhhhhh[G/B]h... [G5] [G5/F#] [Csus2]Ahhhhhh[G/B]h...[G5] [G5/F#]
My [Csus2]footsteps are [G/B]ticking, like [G5]water dripping[G5/F#] from a tree
[Csus2]Walking a h[G/B]airline, and [G5]stepping very [G5/F#]carefully
[Csus2]Ahhhhhh[G/B]h... [G5] [G5/F#] [Csus2]Ahhhhhh[G/B]h...[G5] [G5/F#] [G5/F#]
Em7 Em7/B A7 A7 C Cmaj7 G5 G[single note]
Ahhhhhhh...
My [Csus2]heart is [G/B]broken;[G5] it's worn o[G5/F#]ut at the knees
[Csus2]Hearing muffled, [G/B]seeing blind, [G5]soon it will h[G5/F#]it the deep freeze
[Csus2]Ahhhhhh[G/B]h...[G5] [G5/F#] [Csus2] [G/B] [G5] [G5/F#]
And [Csus2]something is [G/B]cracking,[G5] I don't know w[G5/F#]here
[Csus2]Ice on the s[G/B]idewalk, [G5]brittle branches [G5/F#]in the air
The [Csus2]sun is bl[G/B]inding, [G5]dizzy golden, d[G5/F#]ancing green
Csus2 G/B G5 F#[single note]
Through the park in the afternoon, wondering where the hell
I[Csus2] have[G/B] been[G5] [G5/F#] [G5/F#]
Em7 Em7/B A7 A7 C Cmaj7 A7 A7 C Cmaj7 G5 G[single note]
Ah ha haaaaa...
INTRO AND VERSE:
[Most of tbe verse just uses tbe first four measures of tab.]
[Note that whenever the G5 measure comes before the Em7-A7 part,
there is also an A bass note in the second half of the measure.]
