(album: Carried to Dust, 2008)

This is a beautiful tune off the Calexico's 2008 "Carried to Dust" album. It was
nowhere to be found tabbed on the Net, so when I discovered a good solo acoustic
rendition by Calexico's own Joey Burns, it went without questioning... The video,
by the way, is here (worthwhile): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTaMaYExIjE

There are still a few parts of the song where caution is advised - in the kinda
pre-chorus line and then at the end of the chorus. Those parts are hard to figure
out from the video, but you can simply rely on my version transcribed here - it
works (I promise:-).

 C             Em
Miles of highway poppies, a stretch of maybe flowers
Dm         G
Past Signal Hill a ways
 C              Em
We were parked and searching
           Dm         G
For a hubcap rolling into the fields of thorns

F      G    ?/G#   Am   D*
Although we couldn't see a thing that night

C Fmaj7  C Fmaj7
Stars still shone
     C    Fmaj7
In their slowness
     C
And their slowness
C/B  G/B     C
Took us by surprise

 C         Em
If I never told you how you helped to rescue
Dm          G
The car and all inside
 C              Em
Remember roads were steep and
             Dm            G
You and I went sliding down the grade from Gate's Pass

F    G   ?/G#   Am   D*
You asleep and me behind the wheel hovering
C Fmaj7   C  Fmaj7
 In that slowness
    C
And that slowness
 C/B  G/B    C
Has never gone away


(VERSE chords) [solo/melody/whistle] C Em Dm G x2

F      G    ?/G#   Am   D*
Although we couldn't see a thing that night

C Fmaj7  C Fmaj7...
Stars still shone, stars still shone, stars still shone,
     C    Fmaj7...
In their slowness, in their slowness, in their slowness...
     C
And their slowness
C/B  G/B     C
