Uncle Tupelo
New Madrid tab
standard tuning, capo on 2
optional Intro riff:
note:This is not necessarily how Jeff plays the intro in the recording or
live, but it is a guide to one way you can play the intro to this song that
I think sounds good. Especially if you are playing with just an acoustic
with no accompaniment. The chords, however, should be accurate.
Emphasize the bass runs throughout and add in hammer ons/pull offs to add
color where desired.

Caroms over the landfill
CBuries us all iDn its broken back G
There's a man of conviction
And although he's getting old
Mr. Browning has a prediction
And we've all been told
So come on back from New York City
Roll your trucks in at dawn
Walk with me to the fountain
And hold onto my arm
Come on, do what you did
Roll me under New Madrid
Shake my baby and please bring her back
'Cause death won't even be still
Caroms over the landfill
Buries us all in its broken back
