WELCOME ME (Amy Ray)
--------------------
[Actually in A; capo 2.]
[Each chord is one measure. There are variations within the measures that
I haven't noted here, mostly changing C and D to C(9) and D(9).]
(Am) Am G
Welcome me to the city of angels
D C
Devil prophets still hold my hand
Am G
I walked your stillborn streets for hours
D C(9)
Ethnic echoes spitting out their trials
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/i/indigo_girls/welcome_me_tab.html ]
G D
They tell me I'll, I'll be the first to praise the sun
C G
The first to praise the moon, the first to hold the lone coyote
D
The last to set it free
Welcome me to a haven given
It's well received into my open arms
I ran in my sleep through shaking tremors
I felt the splitting earth echoing in my ears
And I feel that I, I'll be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon, the first to hold the lone coyote
The last to set it free
[Guitar solo, same chords as one verse and one chorus]
Welcome me to your city of angels
See, there's a devil monkey laying on our backs
Now tell me, where's the heart, where's the bullet for breaking?
Who's gonna give me a weapon, a pacifying weapon?
And I need it, I'll, I'll be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon, the first to hold the lone coyote
The last to set it free, I said, I said welcome me
I'll be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon, oh, the first to hold the lone coyote
D C(9) G.
The last to set it free
TAB:
[Because of copyright concerns, I've taken out the tablature. If you
want to learn the complete lead part for "Welcome Me," buy the songbook
for _Nomads_Indians_Saints_; it's a good book to have.]
