OWEN'S LAMENT - AUGIE MARCH Hey guys, I've seen a few tabs of this one lying around but none have got it exactly right, so it is. During the verses, make sure you're playing all barre chords! With the crescendo feel free to use open chords though. This is one of the greatest songs ever written. CAPO II (Tab relative to capo) 6/8 TIME (F#m(1): x 9 11 11 10 9 F#m(2): 2 4 4 2 2 2) *1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6* |--------------------------------------------------------------| |--6--8--9---10-------10-----10---10-9--8---6------6-----6-----| |---------------11-------11----11-------------7------7-----7---| |------------------11---------------------------7--------------| |--5--7--8--9---------------9-----9--8--7--5----------5--------| |--------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------------| |--6--8--9---10-------10-----10---10-9--8---6------6-----6-----| |---------------11-------11----11-------------7------7-----7---| |------------------11---------------------------7--------------| |--5--7--8--9---------------9-----9--8--7--5----------5--------| |--------------------------------------------------------------| (waltz fingerpicking) (Dm, Em, Fm) F#m(1) Level your fretting,

Cm Dm D#m Em (crescendo) --- *REMOVE CAPO* In this section, when switching between the C and Am, Glenn slides the C chord up two frets to a D for half a bar before landing on the Am. C, Am ("You may ask one of them, day or night! Are you cold? Are you wet?" You always get the same answer, always with a smile. Not too cold sir.. not too wet sir! But it's wet... it's so cold...")
