Tuning:
Artist: Thea Gilmore
Song: "The Cracks"
Album: Avalanche
Transcribed by: Sean Ainsworth
Capo on 1st fret. Fingerpicked. Chords are relative to capo.
Chords used (standard tuning):
E Am Bm7 A
e---0----0----2----0---
A---0----1----0----2---
G---1----2----2----2---
D---2----2----1----2---
A---2----0----2----0---
E---0----0----0----0---
I've broken the tab into progressions to make it easier to write out and read. Really the
only difference between this and playing the chord twice is that there's an extra note (in
parentheses) which is sometimes picked and sometimes isn't; I'll leave that up to you, but
there are chords played only once, so watch out for missing *asterisks*.

Verse:
E* Don't stop Am*singing, it's a beautifulE* sound Am*
E* I'll get thAm*e drinks in before we E*hit the ground Am*
Bm7* And I don't know whA*o'll speE*ak first
Bm7* It doesn't matterA* anyway toniEght let's bAme besE*t strangers
Am* They closed the bar E*an hour ago
Am* Last train whistles down theE* track
Bm7* But I see something grA*owing up from the cEraAmcksE*
E* I'lAm*l show youE* my heart ifAm* you'll show me yours
E* Are we wiAm*ld and uE*nique babe or jusAm*t par for the course
Bm7* What have we got to A*lose anywE*ay
Bm7* From one drunk to anothA*er, I think what I'm tEryiAmng to E*say is
Am* Some mirrors have beenE* broken
Am* And some things pullE* you back
Bm7* But I see somethingA* growing up fErom theAm cracE*ks
E* - Am* - E* - Am* - E* - Am* - E* - Am*
E* We've all seen theAm* thunder that's comingE* in low Am*
E* And each day tries to rAm*un you right oE*ff the road Am*
Bm7* But if you listen haA*rd for E*the sound
Bm7* We'll get a thousand hoA*oves drumming in this oEne hAmorse E*town and
Am* the lightE*s are out on the west side
Am* and the'll paint the skyE* in black
Bm7* I swear I see something shA*ining on fromE the cAmrackE*s
Am* And they closed this bar aE*n hour ago
Am* Last train whistles down tE*he track
Bm7* But I see something grA*owing up from tEhe cAmrackEs
That's all. Enjoy.
