Honolulu Blues
Craig Finn

Tabbed by Eric Malm:

Intro:
C majorC , B5/C,F, G+G
Verse:
C majorC
A augmentedA man darkened our doorway
He said he?s here to share the good news
He had a smile straight from the movies
But when I looked down at his shoes
       FF
There were holes and they showed his toes
                   C majorC
The right was left, the black was brown
     G+G                    FF
And later on in the garage I couldn?t find my chainsaw
            C majorC                G+G
In the distance I heard trees just falling down
C majorC
I was underneath the city
I was riding around on trains
Fell asleep before Nassau Ave. and I ended up in Maine
    FF
There were big tall trees and rocky coastline

                C majorC
And the waves came in so wild
    G+G
But for all the natural beauty there
    FF
 were still so many kids
        C majorC                        G+G
That were asking me for something that could help them to get high

Chorus:
    FF
We?re all good, we?re all bad

    C majorC
We?re euphoric and we?re sad

    FF                C majorC
We roll the rock away and check the tomb
    A augmentedA
We?re awake and we?re aware
    C majorC
That we?re confused and cold and scared
    FF                G+G
And the cross reminds us that He died for me and you
                C majorC
Woke up in the ocean with the Honolulu Blues

Verse:
C majorC
Joan Didion and Graham Greene
Said roughly the same thing
You bring your Jesus to the jungle
Try to teach people to sing
       FF
All those hymns that you love
                            C majorC
Because you learned them as a kid and they make perfect sense to you
    G+G
There?s a point in time when thousands die
    FF
And you?ve got to maybe think
         C majorC               G+G
that maybe Jesus isn?t getting through
    C majorC
We?re freezing in the forest
There?s no wood to heat the house
We took axes to the furniture
We pulled the floorboards out
    FF
There?s animals scratching at the door
                C majorC
And they know we?re gonna die
G+G                    FF
There were big tall trees and rocky coastline
             C majorC           G+G
And the waves came in so wild

Chorus:
    FF
We?re all wild, we?re all free
    C majorC
We?re all back from Tennessee
    FF                    C majorC
With the souvenirs to prove that we were there
    A augmentedA
We?re flying around in planes
    C majorC
We?re riding around in trains
 FF               G+G
Searching out those panoramic views
                C majorC
Woke up in the ocean with the Honolulu Blues

    FF
We?re all good, we?re all bad
    C majorC
We?re euphoric and we?re sad
    FF                C majorC
We roll the rock away and check the tomb
    A augmentedA
We?re awake and we?re alarmed
    C majorC
At the scars scratched in your arm
    FF                    G+G
The cross reminds us that He died for me and you
            C majorC
Woke up in Oahu with the Honolulu Blues
