Stan Rogers - Tiny Fish For Japan tab
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Tiny Fish for Japan by Stan Rogers.
Tabbed by Josh O'Leary. My first tab.
Aquired by observing this dude on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZNtyQRyQ4E.
to him for his great videos.
It is supposed to be crosspicked, but I just strum the chords. Anyways, here are the
I think the guy is playing.
I cant quite figure out the chord I labelled D4?. I play it with the D string on the
fret, and B and e both on the third.
Thats what i think the guy plays, and it sounds good.
Standard tuning, no capo.
G Am D E
Where Patterson Creek's muddy waters run down
C G Am D
Past the penny arcades, by the harbour downtown,
E Am D E
All the old Turtlebacks rust in the rain
C D G
Like they never will leave there again.
G Am D E
But leave there they will in the hours before dawn,
C G Am D
Slip out in the darkness without word or song;
E Am D E
For a few more years yet they will work while they can
C D G
To catch tiny fish for Japan.
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/stan-rogers/108857.html ]
D D C G
No white fish or trout here, we leave them alone.
C G Am D
The inspectors raise hell if we take any home.
D D C G
What kind of fisherman can't eat his catch
E D4? D
Or call what he's taken his own?
G Am D E
But the plant works three shifts now. There's plenty of pay.
C G Am D
We ship seventeen tons of this garbage each day.
E Am D E
If we want to eat fish, then we'll open a can,
C D G
And catch tiny fish for Japan.
D D C G
In the Norfolk Hotel over far too much beer,
C G Am D
The old guys remember when the water ran clear.
D D C G
No poisons with names that we can't understand
E D4? D
And no tiny fish for Japan...
G Am D E
So the days run together. Each one is the same.
C G Am D
And it's good that the smelt have no lovelier name.
E Am D E
It's all just a job now, we'll work while we can,
C D G
To catch tiny fish for Japan.
C D G
And we'll catch tiny fish for Japan.
