Cellmates/ Mixtapes
By Rocky Votolato
Tabbed by Jet Turco
Tuning: ,,,,,
half step down/flat
When playing this you should finger pick it to get the softer sound plus
it s much easier to be using two fingers intstead of one pick.
Use the bar chords instead of the normal chords it s much easier because
You can pluck the 3 strings that you are manipulating with your frethand.
Just roll down from the top chord, the middle chord, then the bottom. keeping
that rolling motion the whole song.
I am a prisoner in the sunlight / you are my cellmate in the darkness /
there s a box full of mix tapes with titles you came up with /
they can show us where we came from but not how to get back there /
listening to the songs can t heal my broken fingers it s just weight for the
anchor to keep your ship here
goldfish crackers in a zip-lock bag / in a gas station garbage can /
I m filling up this evening so I won t have to at 6am /
on my way into work but that could have been me /
working behind that counter on the curb there smoking /
we re really not that different just a few steps from exploding
now I m serving time / till I ve earned the right /
to go back to the place where we started from /
now I m serving time / till I ve earned the right /
baby I swear one day we ll get the money straight
*(it s played the same in the 2nd and 3rd part)*
