Cellmates/ Mixtapes
By Rocky Votolato
Tabbed by Jet Turco
Tuning: Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb
half step down/flat
When playing this you should finger pick it to get the softer sound plus
it's much easier to be using two fingers intstead of one pick.
Use the bar chords instead of the normal chords it's much easier because
You can pluck the 3 strings that you are manipulating with your frethand.
Just roll down from the top chord, the middle chord, then the bottom. keeping
that rolling motion the whole song.
I[D] am a prisoner in the sunlight / y[E]ou are my cellmate in the darkness /
the[G]re's a box full of mix tapes with t[A]itles you came up wit[D]h /
th[D]ey can show us where we came from but not how to get back there /
l[E]istening to the songs can't heal my broken fingers it's just we[G]ight for the
a[A]nchor to keep your ship [D]here
g[D]oldfish crackers in a zip-lock bag / i[E]n a gas station garbage can /
I[G]'m filling up this evening so I wo[A]n't have to at 6a[D]m /
o[D]n my way into work but that could have been me /
w[E]orking behind that counter on the curb there smoking /
w[G]e're really not that different just a [A]few steps from explodin[D]g
n[D]ow I'm serving time / till I've ear[E]ned the righ[G]t /
t[G]o go back to the place where we s[A]tarted from[D] /
n[D]ow I'm serving time / till I've e[E]arned the righ[G]t /
b[G]aby I swear one day we'll g[A]et the money straig[D]ht
(it's played the same in the 2nd and 3rd part)
