I've Dbbeen in this town so long that back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long long Ebtime
Fell in Ablove years ago
With an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home
Home of the heroes and Dbvillains
DbOnce at night Catillian squared the fight
And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually Ebbrought her down
But Abshe's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and Dbvillains
In this part it changes to the piano riff, you wont be able to play the notes exactly
as they are on a piano as it would require you to have fingers the size of bananas.
Here is a way to play it a guitar by fingerpicking the chords that go with it. The
timing is like patting you head and bubbing your stomach but keep trying...
Ebm
bar chord position to hold for the easiest and move you index finger for the bass melody.Abm
bar chord position to hold. have your second finger ready for the note change and just lift your little fingerFbm
same method as Eb 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & ---------------------------------------| -----9-------9-------9-------9---------| -----10------10------10------10--------| ---10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10------| -8-------8---7---8---------------------| -------------------------8-------------|Dbla la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la Ebla la
Stand or Abfall I know there
Shall be peace in the valley
And it's all an affair
Of my life with the heroes and Dbvillains

Dbdoop de dooe do Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Play slowly and possibly finger pick these notes randomly. I didnt bother tabing this
bit cos there not really any certain way to play it. Just hold the chord positions and
pick. or you can just strum if you want. This isnt in all versions of the song and the
piano chords are quite difficult to decifer.
Try fingerpicking these chords.
EbmIn the cantina
Margarita's Fbmkeep the spirit high
F (bar chord 9th fret)
There I watched her
DbShe spun around and
Round in the Abwarmth of her body
Fanned the flame of the Ebmdance

You're under arrest!
Brush the chords of this next part with your thumb,

DbI've been in this town so long
So Dblong to the city
DbI'm fit with the stuff
To ride in the rough
And sunny down snuff I'm alAbright

>>>Back to fingerpicking the tabbed part at the start quite loudly to give a powerful
>>>darker sound.

This last part is an instrumental of different melodies and doesnt really sound like
you could play it on your own on a guitar while keeping the volume so just play
something like this. However your free to imporovise with this part
Db Ab Db Eb
Then perhaps work your way up to the F on the 9th fret like this (you can change the
chords around but just make sure you end on a Ab then a Db slowly...
For example...
Fbm 2 beats F 2 beats Fbm 2 beats Ebm 2 beats Ab 2 beats Db slowly
Thats it then, not so easy after all, but there should be anough to keep you busy for
a while it took me ages to tab so please excuse any mistakes, and sometimes Abm is
actually Ab Mayjor i know but its just easier to fingerpick that way and you cant
really tell unless
