Tabs
power of two INDIGO GIRLS
from the album Swamp Ophelia
arranged by: pj naranjo
0624011321
- this song is quite bouncy with the tapping all around. it's just basic chords
but the combinations with the lead makes it quite complicated.
anyway, enjoy the tab!
- i was not able to make its time signature because it's hard to deal with
the double digits (10,12 & 13). but it's easy to learn its timing from the
regularity of the spacing and the t's
- the best way to learn this tab fat (esp the lead part) is to listen to its
original.
🏷Legend: p - pull off
h - hammer
/ - slide up
- after every 2 counts, tap guitar

now the parking lot is empty, everyone's gone someplace
i pick you up and in the trunk i've packed a cooler and a 2-day suitcase
'cause there's a place we like to drive, way out in the country
five miles out of the city limit we're singing and your hands upon my knee

Stanza II - same as Stanza I
you know things that i am afraid of, i'm not afraid to tell
and if we ever leave a legacy it's that we loved each other well
i've seen the shadows of so many people, trying on the treasures of youth
a road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash,
and i'm glad we got off to tell you the truth
repeat Chorus - with first line: 'cause we're ok, we're fine..

Stanza III: same as Stanza I
now we're talking 'bout a difficult thing
........

repeat Chorus
Ending: repeat Interlude 4x with the lead of Intro then fade
- i didn't make this tab just for the sake of submitting a tab and telling
my friends how good i am. well, this is my gift for my friend in her upcoming
18th birthday. i won't tell her name because she might sue me for ILLEGAL
PLUGGING OF PROPERTY OR NAME (if there is such!). Well, here it is! My sweat from
those one day, five hours of listening, arranging, translating, eating and sleeping,
of course. i thought of submitting this to the net so that i could share this
to others.
peepz, if you have problems with the tab or suggestions for the tab, email me at
[email protected]. and for those you can send me SMS i have now a new SIM
card.
you can text me through these numbers -> (+63916)3704849 or (+63918)3577666. but
better
text me at the (+63917).
