D-DU-UDU
I've been in this town so long that back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long long time
Fell in love years ago
With an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home
Home of the heroes and villains
Once at night Catillian squared the fight
And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her down
But she's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains
In this part it changes to the piano riff, you wont be able to play the notes exactly
as they are on a piano as it would require you to have fingers the size of bananas.
Here is a way to play it a guitar by fingerpicking the chords that go with it. The
timing is like patting you head and bubbing your stomach but keep trying...
bar chord position to hold for the easiest and move you index finger for the
bass melody.
Timing

heroes and villans....
Just see what you've done
bar chord position to hold. have your second finger ready for the note change
and just lift your little finger

la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Stand or fall I know there
Shall be peace in the valley
And it's all an affair
Of my life with the heroes and villains
do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do ap de wo deo wap
do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
doop de dooe do Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Play slowly and possibly finger pick these notes randomly. I didnt bother tabing this
bit cos there not really any certain way to play it. Just hold the chord positions and
pick. or you can just strum if you want. This isnt in all versions of the song and the
piano chords are quite difficult to decifer.
Try fingerpicking these chords.
In the cantina
Margarita's keep the spirit high
There I watched her
She spun around and
Round in the warmth of her body
Fanned the flame of the dance
Dance Margarita don't you know that IÕm in love with you
Dance
.....
Dance
You're under arrest!
Brush the chords of this next part with your thumb,
My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe healthy weathy and wise
I've been in this town so long
So long to the city
I'm fit with the stuff
To ride in the rough
And sunny down snuff I'm alright
By the heroes and...
>>>Back to fingerpicking the tabbed part at the start quite loudly to give a powerful
>>>darker sound.
Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done
Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done
Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
This last part is an instrumental of different melodies and doesnt really sound like
you could play it on your own on a guitar while keeping the volume so just play
something like this. However your free to imporovise with this part
Then perhaps work your way up to the F on the 9th fret like this (you can change the
chords around but just make sure you end on a Ab then a Db slowly...
For example...
Fbm 2 beats F 2 beats Fbm 2 beats Ebm 2 beats Ab 2 beats Db slowly
Thats it then, not so easy after all, but there should be anough to keep you busy for
a while it took me ages to tab so please excuse any mistakes, and sometimes Abm is
actually Ab Mayjor i know but its just easier to fingerpick that way and you cant
really tell unless your being an ass.
