Ticket Taker Chords

(ver. 2)
The Low Anthem
This is a slight edit on the original tab, mainly on the last line of each verse 
and the chorus. Also I believe it's on a Capo on the 5th fret.


Capo on 5th


INTRO:   C

      

     F                              C                    C     C/Am    F
Well tonight's the night when the waters rise, You're groping in the dark

    Am                                    G
The ticket takers count the men who can afford the ark

    F              C                       C      C/Am       F
The ticket takers will not board, For the ticket takers are tied

     C                 Am                F               C
For five and change an hour, They will count the passers by



      F                 C              C      C/Am     F
They say the sky's the limit, But the sky's about to fall

  Am                              G
Down come all them record books cradle and all

      F             C                 C    C/Am    F
They say before he bit it, That the boxer felt no pain

      C                    Am                  F            C
But somewhere there's a gamblin' man, With a ticket in the rain


CHORUS:

F    C       G               C           F   C               G
Mary Anne, I know I'm a long shot, But Mary Anne, what else have you got?

  F           C           C      C/Am    F
I am a ticket taker, many tickets have I torn

    C            Am               G              C 
And I will be your ark, we will float above the storm


(BASS SOLO):
 F   C    C   C/Am   F   Am   G    F   C



      F                          C                C            C/Am   F
Many years have passed in this river town, I've sailed through many traps

  Am                              G
I keep a stock of weapons should society collapse

   F               C            C       C/Am    F
I keep a stock of ammo, One of oil and one of gold

    C              Am           F                 C
I keep a place for Mary Anne, Soon she will come home



CHORUS (X2):

F    C       G               C           F   C               G
Mary Anne, I know I'm a long shot, But Mary Anne, what else have you got?

  F           C           C      C/Am    F
I am a ticket taker, many tickets have I torn

    C            Am               G              C 
And I will be your ark, we will float above the storm
