If I Was A Tidal Wave

Matthew Good

tabbed by Jason Caine

 

 

capo 2nd fret (standard tuning)

capo 3rd fret (if you are tuned 1/2 step down)

 

Pick the note of each chord as they are played as shown below. It's really best to finger pick this song if

 

possible. Strum each chord several times listen to the song for a guide. This is just a rough outline but enough to

 

get you going.

 

 

Intro/verse:

 

C E? Am G

e-----0------0-----0-------3--------

B-----1------1-----0(1)----3--------

G-----0------0-----2-------0--------

D-----2------0-----2-------0--------

A--3-3----2-2---0-0-------2--------

E-----0------0-----0-----3-3--------

 

 

The Saudis are ever our friends and our allies

The President smokes cigars with their Princes on his lanai

And across the street a mother sleeps with her babys ghost

Wrapped in pink and spotlights

 

 

If I was a tidal wave well you know that Id

Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry

Disappear you down this trail of busted years to ride the rails and goodbyes

 

 

Am C E?

Well my name is propaganda

Am C E?

And my mamas pain is propaganda

C E? Am

If I was a tidal wave

C E? C

Id let the Union fall

C E? Am

Ya if I was a tidal wave

C E? C E? G Am

Id be first against the wall

 

 

C E? G Am

 

Back in 1980 Mayor Young he sent the key

To the city of Detroit to praise the best of enemies

Who shook hands with devil, now he runs the DOD

And spends lives

 

If I was a tidal wave well you know that Id

Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry

Disappear you down this trail of busted years to ride the rails and goodbyes

 

C E? Am

If I was a tidal wave

C E? C

From coast to coast Id scream

C E? Am

If I was a tidal wave

C E? C E? G Am

Id wash this whole place clean

 

C E? G Am

C E? G Am

C E? G Am

 

then play intro chords
