john mayer – walt grace’s submarine test 1967
love this song , one of the best on the new album!
you can figure out the picking patterns from listening ,
it’s fairly simple! nice little song here!
not a perfect tab , but i think it’s pretty close!
chords
capo 6
C E F
walt grace , desperately hating his whole place
G Am
dreamed to discover a new space
G F
and buried himself alive
C E F
inside his basement , tongue on the side of his face meant
G Am
he’s working away on displacement
G F
and what it would take to survive
F
’cause when you’re done with this world
Am G
you know the next is up to you
C F G
and his wife told his kids he was crazy
C F G
and his friends said he’d fail if he tried
C F
but with a will to work hard
Am D
and a library car
F G C
he took a homemade , fan – blade , one – man submarine ride
C E F
that morning , the sea was mad and i mean it
G Am
waves as big as he’d seen it
G F
deep in his dreams at home
C
from dry land
E F
he rolled it over to wet sand
G Am
closed the hatch up with one hand
G F
and pedalled off alone
F
’cause when you’re done with this world
Am G
you know the next is up to you
C F G
and for once in his life it was quiet
C F G
as he learned how to turn in the tide
C F
and the sky was a flare
Am D
when he came up for air
F G C
in his homemade , fan – blade , one – man submarine ride
C
one evening
E F
when weeks had passed since his leaving
G Am
the call she’d planned on receiving
G F
finally made it home
C
she accepted
E F
the news she’d never expected
G Am
the operator connected
G F
a call from tokyo
F
’cause when you’re done with this world
Am G
you know the next is up to you
C
now his friends
F G
bring him up when they’re drinking
C F G
at the bar with his name on the side
C F
and they smile when they can
Am D
as they speak of a man
F G C
who took a homemade , fan – blade , one – man submarine ride
