 CALYPSO (Suzanne Vega)
 
 {sot}

 {eot}
 I learned this from the book _The_Authentic_Guitar_Style_of_Suzanne_Vega_,
 published by Cherry Lane Music. No guitar-playing Suzanne Vega fan should
 be without it. Buy it; it's only $12.95, and it has very good transcriptions
 of eleven songs from Suzanne's first two albums. If your local music store
 doesn't have it, do a special order or call Hal Leonard (Cherry Lane's
 distributor) directly; that's how I got it.
 
 TAB FOR INTRO AND FIRST VERSE:
 
 [The second and third verses are slightly different; if you want to get it
 exactly right, just listen to the recording.]
 [An equal sign (=) is a hammer-on; *2 means quickly hammer-on from 0 to 2.]
 [Accents are on the 1st, 4th, and 7th eighth notes of each measure; those are
 usually played by the thumb. (In the recording, you can barely even hear
 the non-accented notes.)]
 [Actually in G; capo at the 3rd fret.]

 LYRICS AND CHORDS:
 
 [It's a judgement call as to whether the E7's are actually E's or E7's.
 And it doesn't really matter.]
 [For the "I let him go" parts at the ends of the verses, play as many
 E - E7sus4 sequences as is necessary, using the picking pattern from
 the last two measures of the first verse.]
 [Capo 3.]

 [E7] My name i[E7sus4]s Calypso, and [E7]I have lived al[E7sus4]one
 [E7] I live on an i[E7sus4]sland, and [E7]I 'waken t[E7sus4]o the dawn
 [A]Long time ag[A7/6sus4]o, I [A]watched him struggle[A7/6sus4] with the sea
 [E7] I knew that h[E7sus4]e was drowning,[E7] and I brought him [E7sus4]in to me
 [Asus4] Now tod[Asus4]ay, come [A(4)]morning [A(4)]light
 [C]He sails a[Cmaj7]way; after[F#m7(4)] one[F#m7(4)] last[E] night,[E7sus4] I [E]let him go[E7sus4]
 
 My name is Calypso; my garden overflows
 Thick and wild and hidden is the sweetness there that grows
 My hair, it blows long as I sing into the wind
 I tell of nights where I could taste the salt on his skin
 Salt of the waves and of tears
 And though he pulled away, I kept him here for years
 Now I let him go
 
 [Guitar solo: same chords as one verse, but for all the E - E7sus4 parts,
 just play it like the "I let him go" parts at the end of the verses.]
 
 My name is Calypso; I have let him go
 In the dawn he sails away to be gone forever more
 And the waves will take him in again, but he'll know their ways know
 I will stand upon the shore with a clean heart and my song in the wind
 The sand will sting my feet and the sky will burn
 It's a lonely time ahead; I do not ask him to return; I let him go
 I let him go
