_______________
/ Jeff Buckley / This song is off the soundtrack to the film "Bagdad Café",
/ Calling You / originally sung by Jevetta Steele, and it was an instant
/_______________/ classic in Buckley's years, perhaps bigger the film itself.
Jeff Buckley's version of this is only exist in two versions, to my knowledge:
One version from the live album "Live at Sin-é", and one crude demo version.
- STANDARD TUNING
- CAPO 1st FRET, in the studio version, producing the original key of Db major,
and no capo in the live version, producing the key of C major.

GUITAR INTERLUDE
The strumming here is a bit unarticulated, but notice the chord
voicings and the Hendrix-esque fills.

CHORUS
These are the brilliant chord voicings. Buckley strums the notes again
here and there, but these notes are the essential ones.
The notes in parentheses ( ) are cool extra notes.

1.VERSE
This part is a bit of a stretch, but you can hear Buckley struggling too.

"
1. A desert to road from Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe just around the bend
2. A hot dry wind blows right through me
A baby is crying and I can't sleep
We all know a change is coming
Coming closer, sweet release
"
