i’m not tabbing the instrumental intro . this tab starts just before the lyrics .
intro : Em B ( 7 )
Em
now there’s a singer everyone has heard
Em
at night he turns into a mocking bird
B
if i whistle in the dark he’ll do that too .
Em
i met him on the road at the close of day
G
talk like me , walk this way
Em B Em
i said “mocking bird , you ain’t no widowmaker” .
Em
and there is a singer everybody knows ,
Em
he makes round with late night show ,
B
shake the hands in the hopes that the masquerade is on ,
Em Am
you turn him off on the radio when he say me and my shadow ,
B
shoot out the lights my shadow’s gone .
Em
down at the bottom of the calendar day
Em
find my roots yeah you’ll see all eight
Em B
if i’m tied up to the tracks , then he’s chained up to the road
( down at the bottom of the calendar day )
Em Am
and it’s one for the money , two for the show , for me and my shadow .
B Em
shoot out the lights and my shadow’s gone
B Em
shoot out the lights and my shadow is gone
instr : Em x3 B
Em
there is a shadow everyone has heard ,
Em
at night he turns into a mocking bird ,
B
if i whistle in the dark , he’ll do that too
Em Am
i met him on the road today , a silhouette on a black highway
Em B Em
i said “you can have this world , this world is not my own”
Em B Em
then he said ” you can keep this world , this world is not my home” .
