Ambulence Blues

first tab ever!! but trust me it sounds good . standard tuning , capo 3rd when playing the first G of each Verse , start at low E and go up the strings , and hammer - on the third fret up ( from the capo ) on the B string . when switching to C , hammer - on the same fret on the B string to make it sound good . just listen to the song to get a feel for what it sounds like . Intro : G C Em A G C back in the old folky days Em A the air was magic when we played G C the riverboat was rockin’ in the rain Em A midnight was the time for the raid D oh , isabela , proud isabela Em they tore you down and plowed you under F#m G you’re only real with your make - up on D A how could i see you and stay too long G C all along the navajo trail Em A burn - outs stub their toes on garbage pails . G C waitresses are cryin’ in the rain Em A will their boyfriends pass this way again D oh , mother goose , she’s on the skids Em sure ain’t happy , neither are the kids F#m G she needs someone that she can scream at D A and i’m such a heel for makin’ her feel so bad G C i guess i’ll call it sickness gone Em A it’s hard to say the meaning of this song G C an ambulance can only go so fast Em A it’s easy to get buried in the past G C Em A when you try to make a good thing last harmonica Solo : D G D G Em ( x3 ) D i saw today in the entertainment section Em there’s room at the top for private detection F#m G to mom and dad this just doesn’t matter D A but it’s either that or pay off the kidnapper G C so all you critics sit alone Em A you’re no better than me for what you’ve shown G C with your stomach pump and your hook and laddEr dreams Em A we could get together for some scenes harmonica Solo : D G D G Em ( x3 ) D well , i’m up in t . o . keepin’ jive alive Em and out on the corner it’s half past five F#m G but the subways are empty , and so are the cafes D except for the farmer’s market A and i still can hear him say G C you’re all just pissin’ in the wind Em A you don’t know it but you are G C and there ain’t nothin’ like a friend Em A who can tell you you’re just pissin’ in the wind harmonica Solo : D G D G Em ( x3 ) D i never knew a man could tell so many lies Em he had a different story for every set of eyes F#m G how can he remember who he’s talking to D A cause i know it ain’t me , and hope it isn’t you Outro : G C Em A G C Em A D - - - - long live neil young - - - -
