San Cristobal Uke tab by Mal Blum

Em - C - G - D (x2)


[Verse 1]

Em                          C
I have not been writing that many new songs
          G                               D
How I wish I could stay longer, how I wish I'd never gone
    Em                                C
And you have not been writing me as often as I wish
        G                                D
And sometimes I think I left you just to see if I'd be missed

    Em                            C
And I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall
        G                       D
In a crowded marketplace in a town I can't recall
        Em                             C
And the teller told me that I would be young and I would fall
       G                                   D
And my new friends all assured me that it all was surely false
(D)
And back at home


[Chorus]

Em                        C
You found religion in a dirty crystal ball
          G                     D
In the back of a dollar store in that shopping mall
   Em                      C
And I found religion out in San Cristobal
      G                                D                              Em
Now I feel that I've come far enough to give you a call, give you a call


Em - C - G - D* (x2)


[Verse 2]

Em                           C
I have not been writing as often as I hoped
            G                                     D
But there are some things you're good at and then some you can't control
    Em                             C
And you have not been visiting; I can't say that I mind
        G                                D
Cause every time you go somewhere, you leave somewhere behind

Em                                C
And I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall
        G                           D
In a crowded marketplace whose name I cannot recall
        Em                             C
And the teller told me that I would be young and I would fall
      G                                     D
But I didn't think he meant so soon, no, not so soon at all

And back at home


[Chorus]

Em                        C
You found religion in a dirty crystal ball
          G                     D
In the back of a dollar store in that shopping mall
   Em                      C
And I found religion out in San Cristobal
      G                                D
Now I feel that I've come far enough to give you a call
       C
So I'm calling now, but it says I don't got the number right


Em - C - G - D* (x2)


[Verse 3]

     Em                        C
Your body looks to me a way it never has before
          G                                   D
And is this what's making you so sad? And what you did this for
              Em                        C
She said your body looks to me a way it never has before
           G                               D
And is this what's making you so sad? And I can't do this anymore


[Chorus]

  Em                        C
And I found religion in a dirty bathroom stall
           G                    D
In the back of a liquor store in that mini mall
   Em                              C
And you found religion when you realized you could fall
        G                                 D
Now you say that you've come far enough to give me a call

          C
So you're calling now, but I lie and I tell you that I've moved


Em - C - G - D* (x2)


[Outro]

Em   C
Everything's brand
G    D
Everything's brand
Em   C             G - D
Everything's brand

Em   C
Everything's brand
G    D
Everything's brand
Em   C             G    D - Em
Everything's brand new
