Calexico - Half a Smidge

      
 
 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.
 
 C        G              F          
 When the evening sun is setting low
 C        G           F         
 Blinding you on your drive home
 C       G                F           
 And the lanes of traffic all converge
 C        G            F              
 Causing you to curse every other word
 Em     G           C   
 For to wish it all away
 
 (pause briefly, then slowly sweep downward with pick/one finger on C)
 
 C     G                 F            
 Daily grind's got your screw stripped
 C         G             F                  Em    G  
 No can of double-ya-dee forty can fix your situation
       C               F 
 Seems to be losing steam
 
 
 C       G               F       G   
 Dream's been dropped on credit cards
 Am  C           Em                  F  
 And false hope pumping out of your soul
 F        C      G                F  
 Like oil in the gulf it's a dead end
 Am       C                 F         
 Drive it further deep into the ground
 G                 F           G    
 Till the point's dull as your skull
         F    Em           Dm   
 And the same sun that you curse
             G            C   
 Powers your hybrid heart home
 
 (more lightly now):
 
 C            G             
 If only this car could move
 F            
 Half a smidge
