Half A Smidge
Calexico
In the interest of honesty these chords have been provided by the Chordify service. They *should* be correct. This song is an excellent example of Calexico’s lighter side. Enjoy it! Note: Please pay attention to the strumming style in the original-- I can’t really transcribe it here but it makes the fairly simple chord progression more interesting. When the evening sun is setting low Blinding you on your drive home And the lanes of traffic all converge Causing you to curse every other word For to wish it all away (pause briefly then slowly sweep downward with pick/one finger on ) Daily grind’s got your screw stripped No can of double-ya-dee forty can fix your situation Seems to be losing steam Dream’s been dropped on credit cards And false hope pumping out of your soul Like oil in the gulf it’s a dead end Drive it further deep into the ground Till the point’s dull as your skull And the same sun that you curse Powers your hybrid heart home (more lightly now): If only this car could move Half a smidge
