WALT GRACE'S SUBMARINE TEST, JANUARY 1967 -- JOHN MAYER, "Born and Raised" (2012)
Exact chords tabbed by ClassicalfreaK, 2015
** I noticed a lot of discrepancies with this song with other people, and I'm uploading
a version that has the exact chords with the right extensions. If the key of F# is too hard
(It IS a hard key!) then you could transpose it down a whole-step to E and use second capo. **
** The "chord - - - " layout is to distinguish beat, so during instrumental sections you know
exactly when you should be changing chords. **

VERSE
F#Walt Grace, desperately F#/C#hating his BM7old place
Dreamed to disC#cover a new D#mspace and buried himC#self aliveB6
Inside his F#basement
The tongue on the F#/C#side of his BM7face meant
He's working C#away on dispD#mlacement
And wC#hat it would take to surB6vive
BRIDGE
G#m 'Cause when you're D#mdone with this C#world
G#m You know the next iD#ms up to youC#
CHORUS
And his F#wife told his Bkids he was C#suscrazy C#
And his F#friends said he'd Bfail if he G#m7triedC#
But with the F#will to work Bhard and a D#mlibrary G#card
He took a BM7homemade, fan blade, C#susone-man C#submarine ride

VERSE
That F#morning the sea was F#/Cmad and I BM7mean it
Waves as C#big as he'd D#mseen it deep in his B6dreams at home
From F#dry land, he rolled it F#/C#over to BM7wet sand
Closed the C#hatch up with D#mone hand
And C#pedaled off B6alone
BRIDGE
G#m 'Cause when you're D#mdone with this C#world
G#m You know the D#mnext is up to C#you
CHORUS
And for F#once in his Blife, it was C#susquiet C#
As he F#learned how to Bturn in the G#m7tide C#
And the F#sky was aBflare when he D#mcame up for G#air
In his BM7homemade, fan blade, C#susone-man C#submarine ride

VERSE
One F#evening, when weeks had F#/C#passed since his BM7leaving
