Locust Street - The Black Crowes
Tabbed by: Michael Chabot (amorican489)
Email: michael.chabot@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard (E-A-D-G-B-E)
I noticed there was only one other tab for this song, and it excluded the simple little
played in the intro and during the verses. So here it is.
The song has a slow country feel to it. I finger-pick this song; I find it's more
This is a very easy song off the new album, "Warpaint", but it's going to go down as a classic.
Rich plays a steel-string acoustic guitar
Luther is playing a mandolin, as well as an electric during the solo
Intro Riff (Played ONLY at the start of the song and after the solo)
* Hold the 3rd fret bass note (G) throughout the riff

*Tip for the verses: When you play the G after the Em, you play the intro riff, but half
intro's length. Like this:

Dry bread.....on the table
EmDry bread on the Gtable
EmBurn the mill salt the Gpaper
DAnd its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
CThere's no place to Ghide
DAnd you can't find love on Locust Street
CBut you can hear the sunrise Gcrying
CCan't you hear the sunrise Gcrying
CA song for you Galone Em
I play this little riff before going to riff after first chorus (it's the same one you
during the verse). Let the notes with * next to it ring:

EmSad eyes, weeping Gwillow
EmBlack cat blues, blacked out Gwindow
DAnd its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
CThere's no place to Ghide
DAnd you can't find love on Locust Street
CBut you can hear the sunrise Gcrying
CCan't you hear the sunrise Gcrying
CA song for you Galone Em
AmJust a glimpse of what Flove could be
COnce a dream that I Gowned
AmWhat of many lonely Flonging souls
CAt least I'm not Galone
*Guitar Solo - Luther plays a nice melodic solo in the key of A, mess around with it.
played during the solo are:
Am - F - C - G - Am - F - C - C - end on Em
*Before going to the next verse, play Intro (Riff A)
EmRipe off the vine now lay Grotten
EmLike a dead end street forever Gforgotten
DAnd its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
CThere's no place to Ghide
DAnd you can't find love on Locust Street
CBut you can hear the sunrise Gcrying
CCan't you hear the sunrise Gcrying
CA song for you Galone
Enjoy!
