Shanghai Cigarettes Acoustic Tabs

(ver. 1)
Caitlin Rose
Capo 3

Listen to the recording of Shanghai Cigarettes from the Crypt to get this. Once the verse starts, you
play part 1 with the sort-of-bass-walk, and then you switch to chords after doing that 3 times. 

For the chorus, you hammer on the second fret when playing G
Also, in the first chorus, for the second line of lyrics (left it...) you will play Part 1. After that
you should be able to figure out where to play what by ear.

          G                          Em
Couldn't wait around just to share a smoke.
          G                                    Em
Burned it down to the filter till it burned my throat.
        G                                 Em
Made me start to think of what I ought to know,
      F          C           F              
So I put out the fire and I wrote you a note,


G                                        F           C       G
Said I just smoked the last, from that old pack of Shanghai cigarettes
                                            Em
Left it all in the past so there's nothing left.
       G                 F        Em
Go on, say hello, but I hope you know:
          F         C                 F        G
This will never be right, and I will never let go.


G                                 Em
Remember the day the whole thing started?
        G                             Em
And the little gold box in the glove compartment.
           G                  F       Em
I think I told you so,it was always waiting
       F     C            F
To be opened at the first sign of breaking


       G                              F           C        G       
And I just smoked the last, from that old pack of Shanghai cigarettes.
                                            Em
Left it all in the past so there's nothing left.
       G                 F        Em
Go on, say hello, but I hope you know:
          F         C                 F        G
This will never be right, and I will never let go.

G                                Em
Here we go again, with the long goodbye
           G                Em
Cause you let the smoke get in your eyes
G                                      Em
Trying to make you quit, will make you wish you didn't start
          F         C           F 
When the box is as empty as the hole in your heart,
 

      G                               F            C       G
And I just smoked the last, from that old pack of Shanghai cigarettes.
G                                           Em
Left it all in the past and there's nothing left.
G                                    Em
Go on and say hello, but I hope you know
           F       C                 F          C
This will never be right, and I will never let go
           F       C                F         C
This will never be right and I will never let go
          F        C             F        G
This will never be right I won't let you go
