Schweisthal" To: [email protected], [email protected] Subject: CRD: "Ballad of the Sad Cafe" by Calobo "Ballad of the Sad Cafe" from the Calobo album "Runnin' in the River" Brought to you by Mike Schweisthal ([email protected]) Notes: I'm not certain that these lyrics are entirely correct, but the chords are pretty solid (my dad helped me with this one, I believe...) If you know how to do hammer-ons and pull-offs with G and C chords, I recommend messing around with them a bit--it sounds really nice with this song. A '|' denotes a measure break.
