Slowness chords by Calexico

Chords with lyrics

------------------
(album: Carried to Dust, 2008)

This is a beautiful tune off the Calexico's 2008 "Carried to Dust" album. It was
nowhere to be found tabbed on the Net, so when I discovered a good solo acoustic
rendition by Calexico's own Joey Burns, it went without questioning... The video,
by the way, is here (worthwhile): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTaMaYExIjE

There are still a few parts of the song where caution is advised - in the kinda
pre-chorus line and then at the end of the chorus. Those parts are hard to figure
out from the video, but you can simply rely on my version transcribed here - it
works (I promise:-).

 C majorC             E minorEm
Miles of highway poppies, a stretch of maybe flowers
DmDm         G+G
Past Signal Hill a ways
 C majorC              E minorEm
We were parked and searching
           DmDm         G+G
For a hubcap rolling into the fields of thorns

FF      G+G    ?/G#   A minorAm   D*
Although we couldn't see a thing that night

C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7  C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
Stars still shone
     C majorC    Fmaj7Fmaj7
In their slowness
     C majorC
And their slowness
C/BC/B  G/BG/B     C majorC
Took us by surprise

 C majorC         E minorEm
If I never told you how you helped to rescue
DmDm          G+G
The car and all inside
 C majorC              E minorEm
Remember roads were steep and
             DmDm            G+G
You and I went sliding down the grade from Gate's Pass

FF    G+G   ?/G#   A minorAm   D*
You asleep and me behind the wheel hovering
C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7   C majorC  Fmaj7Fmaj7
 In that slowness
    C majorC
And that slowness
 C/BC/B  G/BG/B    C majorC
Has never gone away

FF      G+G    ?/G#   A minorAm   D*
Although we couldn't see a thing that night

C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7  C majorC Fmaj7...
Stars still shone, stars still shone, stars still shone,
     C majorC    Fmaj7...
In their slowness, in their slowness, in their slowness...
     C majorC
And their slowness
C/BC/B  G/BG/B     C majorC
