Pansy Waltz - Shakey Graves
Tabbed by: Ernie
First time posting a song so go really hard on me.
I watched the Pickathon 2014 video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lerW7bCbeg) to get these chords and
lyrics. The lyrics I did by ear so let me know if I messed them up. Also this is a really hard song to
play so if you can even get close you must be an awesome guitar player! Good work!
Corrected lyrics thanks to BorisBarratt.

He plugs in his acoustic to give it some grit. If I figure out the levels,
I'll post them, if I remember.
The first stanza is muted.
Verse:
Well he's oGut of season out of sync
but lord what must his family think
Bmand you must be getting his feathers wet.
CmBut she always seems to be the talk
Until she drops you like a rock
You Gshould’ve been a bDetter friend tCo him.
GWell I dusted all the bones were in my yard
I fixed the screen door, raised the barn
BmBut still you call me from the moon
Every single afternoon
CmTell me all about the astronauts you come to love
And how the earth looks from above
And how I sGhould’ve been a Dbetter friend toC you.
But I nGever seen life as a chore, a Ctreasure for to fGind B5
Em C D7#9 x 3
I’ve read the news, abused the booze, and often wondered why
GMy smile remains though I'm thinking pains tChe averagGe passerby B5
Well they’ll Emsink like stones into their homes away from teeth like mine.
Whoo!! (Like Shakey Does) Follows the same progression as the verse: G - Bm - Cm - G - D - C
GWell I’m sure I came to hate my skin and all the holes you’re digging in
BmThe way you let my leg waltz through each way
Cmby your side
well you shoGuld’ve been a Dbetter friend of Gmine
GWell I saw in you a brand new bird the song of which I never heard
BmYou know it was a melody so fine that whole world would find
CmAnd it’s a tune to give the boys the blues and turn the horses into glue
You know I shoGuld’ve been a Dbetter friend toC you
Yeah I shouGld have been a beDtter friend to yCou
But I Gnever seen life as a chore, aC treasure for to Gfind B5
Em C D7#9 x 3
I’ve read the news, abused the booze, and often wondered why…
GMy smile remains though I'm thinking pains tChe averagGe passerby B5
Well they’ll Emsink like stones into their homes away from teeth like mine.
Whoo!!
