***Turkish Song Of The Damned - by Shane MacGowan and Jem Finer from the album "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" Turkish Song Of The Damned - as perfomed by The Pogues {The tab is a little short on space for all the fast notes -- suffice it to say that 23232 means a trill with hammer-ons and pull-offs, not a note played at the 23,232th fret.} (e) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| (B) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| (G) |-----------------|-----0-----------|-----------------|-----0---2-------| (D) |-----0---23232-0-|-2323--232-------|-----0---23232-0-|-2323--2---------| (A) |-0-1---0---------|---------------1-|-0-1---0---------|---------------0-| (E) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 (e) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| (B) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| (G) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----0---2-------| (D) |-----------0-----|---0-------------|-----0---23232-0-|-2323--2---------| (A) |-01010-0-1---0-0-|-1---0-1---------|-0-1---0---------|-----------------| (E) |-----------------|---------3-----3-|-----------------|-----------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

I ^Am come old friend from hell tonight across the rotting sea. Nor the ^Am nails of the cross nor the blood of Christ Can bring you help this eve. The ^Dm dead have come to claim a debt from ^Am thee. They ^Dm stand outside your door four score and ^Am three. ^G

Did you ^C keep a watch for the ^F dead man's wind, Did you ^C see the woman with the ^G comb in her hand, ^C Wailing away on the ^F wall on the strand As you ^C danced to the Turkish ^G song of the damned.

^Am ^Am ^Dm You re^Ammember when the ship went down, you left me on the deck. The ^Am captain's corpse jumped up and threw his arms around my neck. For ^Dm all these years I've had him on my ^Am back. This ^Dm debt cannot be paid with all your ^Am jack. ^G

Chorus Twice

^Am ^Am ^Dm Repeat Intro Riff

And ^Am as I sit and talk to you I see your face go white. This ^Am shadow hanging over me is no trick of the light. The ^Dm spectre on my back will soon be ^Am free. The ^Dm dead have come to claim a debt from ^Am thee. ^G
