This is a collaboration of tabs by different users to form the album Picaresque. All credit is properly given. I only add chords to finish the songs, and correct the capo a little. Without these users, this tab would be nothing. I have set the songs all up with a roman numeral, so all that you have to do to find the song that you want is hit control (or command on macs) F. Note: remember to type . after the number when searching it. I. The Infanta II. We Both Go down Together III. Eli, The Barrow Boy IV. The Sporting Life V. The Bagman's Gambit VI. From My Own True Love (Lost At Sea) VII. 16 Military Wives VIII. The Engine Driver IX. On the Bus Mall X. The Mariner's Revenge Song XI. Of Angels and Angles I. The Infanta Tabbed By: Unregistered
Here she Ecomes in her palanquin on the back of an elephant On a Fbed made of linen and sequins and Esilk
All astride on her father's line with the king and his concubines
And her Fnurse with her pitchers of liquors and Emilk And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta
Among Efive score pachyderm each canopied and passengered Sit the Fduke and the duchess's luscious young Egirls
Within sight of the baronness seething spite for this live largesse
On her Fside sits the baron, her barrenness Ebarbs her And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta
(Interlude:) Em D Em D Am Bb F
A Fphalanx on camel back, thirty ranks on a forward tack Followed F#close, their shiny bright standards are Fwaving
While behind in their coach in fours ride the wives of the king of bores
And the F#veiled young virgin, the prince's Fbetrothed And we'll Aball come Ebpraise the Finfanta And we'll Aball come Ebpraise the Finfanta
EAnd as she sits upon her Fplace EHer innocence laid on her Fface BbFrom all atop the parapets blow a Fmultitude of coronets BbMelodies rhapsodical and Ffair BbAnd all our hearts afire, the Fsky ablaze with cannonfire We Eall raise our voices to the Fair To the Eair
And Eabove all this folderol on a bed made of chaparral She is Flaid, a coronal placed on her Ebrow
And the babe all in slumber dreams of a place filled with quiet streams
And a Flake where her cradle was pulled from the Ewater And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta And we'll Gall come Dpraise the inEfanta

Gmaj7And father had had such hopes Emfor a son who would take the ropes Cadd9and fulfill all his old athletic aspirations Ambut apparently Dsus2now there's some complications Gmaj7but while I am lying here Emtrying to fight the tears Cadd9I'll prove to the crowd that I come out stronger Amthough I think I might Dsus2lie here a little longer
Cmaj7There's my coach he's looking Gmaj7down Cmaj7the disappointment in his knitted Gmaj7brow EmI should've known he thinks again Cadd9I never should have put him in Dsus2he turns and loads the Cadd9lemonade away Amand breathes in Dsus2deep Gmaj7the sporting life Emthe sporting life Cadd9the sporting life Gmaj7how he loves...

*Note: at the point where the chord is Cmaj7-C, strum the Cmaj7 chord once then hammer on the 1 on the B string immediately. Basically, you'll be strumming the C chord, then lift of the B string C for one strum, then hold it again. If you listen to the song, you can kind of tell.
InCmaj7 matching blue raincoats, our shoes were our showboats we Gkicked around From Cmaj7stairway to station, we made a sensation with the Ggadabout crowd And Cmaj7oh what a bargain, we're two easy targets For the Gold men at the off-tracks Who've Cmaj7paid in palaver and crumpled old dollars Which we Gsquirreled away In our Emrat-trap hotel by the Amfreeway Asus2 Am C Cmaj7-C G And we slept in Sundays

AmWe are two Mariners, our ship's sole survivors, in this belly of a Ewhale EIt's ribs our ceiling beams, it's guts our carpeting, I guess we have some time to Amkill. You may not remember me, I was a child of three, and you a lad of Eeighteen. But I remember you, and I will relate to you, how our histories interweAmave. FmAt the time you were a rake and a rastaboAmut. SFmpending all your money on the whores and hEounds. FmOh-Eoh AmYou had a charming air, all cheap and debonair, my widowed mother found so Esweet. And so she took you in, her sheets still warm with him, now filled with filth and fowl Amdisease. FmAs time wore on you proved a debt-ridden drunken Ammess. FmLeaving my mother a poor consumptive wEretch. FmOh-Eoh AmAnd then you disappeared. Your gambling arrears, the only thing you left Ebehind. And then the magistrate, reclaimed our small estate, and my poor mother lost her Ammind. FmThen one day in spring my dear, sweet mother dAmied. BFmut before she did I took her hand as she dying cEried, FmOh-Eoh, &Fmquot;Find him, bind him, tie him to a pole and breakAm his fingers to splinters, drag him to a hole until he Fmwakes up, naked, clawing at the ceiling of his Egrave, Fmoh-Eoh." (Little Am fill right here) AmIt took me fifteen years to swallow all my tears, among the urchins in the Estreet. And then a priory, took pity and hired me to keep their vestry nice and nAmeat. Fm (c-ish) Am(c-ish) Fm(c-ish) But never once in the employ of these holy men, did I ever once turn my mind E(c-ish) Fm E from the thought of revenge. Oh-oh. Am(harsh double strum for this part) One night I overheard, the prior exchanging words with a penetant whaler from E(smooth) E(harsh double strum) the sea. The captain of his ship, who matched you toe to tip, was known for a Am(smooth) wanton cruelty. FmThe following day I shipped to sea with the Amprivateer. And in the whistle of the wind I could almost Ehear, Fmoh-Eoh. &Fmquot;Find him, bind him, tie him to a pole and break Amhis fingers to splinters, drag him to a whole until he Fmwakes up, naked, clawing at the ceiling of his Egrave. CThere is one thing I must Gsay to you, Cas you sail across the Gsea. AAmlways your mother will watch Emover you, Fmas you avenge this wicked dEeed.
Middle section: Am-E-Fm-E
AmAnd then one fateful night, we had you in our sights, after 20 months at Esea. Your starboard flank abeam, I was getting my muskets clean, when came this rumbling from bAmeneath. Fm(c-ish) Am(c-ish) Fm(c-ish) The ocean shook, the sky went black and the captain quailed. And before us E (candenza) Fm E grew the angry jaws of a giant whale, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh AmDon't know how I survived, the crew all was chewed alive, I must have slipped between his Eteeth. But oh what providence, what divine intelligence, that you should survive as well as Amme. FmIt gives my heart great joy to see your eyes fill with Amfear. FmSo lean in close and I will whisper the last words you'll Ehear, Fmoh-Eoh
