Shanghai Cigarettes Acoustic Solo tab by Caitlin Rose

Tabs

Capo 3
Listen to the recording of Shanghai Cigarettes from the Crypt to get this. Once the verse starts, you
play part 1 with the sort-of-bass-walk, and then you switch to chords after doing that 3 times.

For the chorus, you hammer on the second fret when playing G+G
Also, in the first chorus, for the second line of lyrics (left it...) you will play Part 1. After that
you should be able to figure out where to play what by ear.

     G+G             E minorEm
Couldn't wait around just to share a smoke.
     G+G                  E minorEm
Burned it down to the filter till it burned my throat.
    G+G                 E minorEm
Made me start to think of what I ought to know,
   FF     C majorC      FF
So I put out the fire and I wrote you a note,


G+G                    FF      C majorC    G+G
Said I just smoked the last, from that old pack of Shanghai cigarettes
                      E minorEm
Left it all in the past so there's nothing left.
    G+G         FF    E minorEm
Go on, say hello, but I hope you know:
     FF     C majorC         FF    G+G
This will never be right, and I will never let go.

G+G                 E minorEm
Remember the day the whole thing started?
    G+G               E minorEm
And the little gold box in the glove compartment.
      G+G         FF    E minorEm
I think I told you so,it was always waiting
    FF   C majorC      FF
To be opened at the first sign of breaking


    G+G               FF      C majorC    G+G
And I just smoked the last, from that old pack of Shanghai cigarettes.
                      E minorEm
Left it all in the past so there's nothing left.
    G+G         FF    E minorEm
Go on, say hello, but I hope you know:
     FF     C majorC         FF    G+G
This will never be right, and I will never let go.


*Lick* x4


G+G                E minorEm
Here we go again, with the long goodbye
      G+G        E minorEm
Cause you let the smoke get in your eyes
G+G                   E minorEm
Trying to make you quit, will make you wish you didn't start
     FF     C majorC      FF
When the box is as empty as the hole in your heart,


   G+G                FF      C majorC    G+G
And I just smoked the last, from that old pack of Shanghai cigarettes.
G+G                      E minorEm
Left it all in the past and there's nothing left.
G+G                  E minorEm
Go on and say hello, but I hope you know
      FF    C majorC         FF     C majorC
This will never be right, and I will never let go
      FF    C majorC        FF     C majorC
This will never be right and I will never let go
     FF    C majorC       FF    G+G
This will never be right I won't let you go
