Chords

One of my favourite covers of all time. I've had the pleasure of seeing both Paolo and Rodriguez perform this live and I think both bring something pretty cool to this epic tune. The only only other Paolo Sugar man tab is really for the Rodriguez version, Paolo adds in a few more (though in his recording the guitar is up quite a bit louder than in the original so it's a little easier to hear what's being played) . Open Chords (except the F and Bb) Intro ----- Am E Dm7 E | Dm7 E Am -- | Verse ------
      Am  E           Dm7    E        | Dm7    E       Am

      Am        E            Dm7         E          | Dm7     E     Am
For a blue coin    won't you bring back     all those colours to my dreams
Chorus ------
C       Am    D7        F       C        Am    F          Bb       E

Sugar Man,  met a false friend,    on a long and dusty road

        Am     E         Dm7    E      | Dm7       E          Am
Lost my heart,    when I found it it had turned to dead black coal
Chorus ------
C       Am    D7        F       C        Am    F          Bb       E

      Am    E         Dm7    E         | Dm7    E       Am
Sugar Man,    cos I'm weary     of those double games I hear
Outro ----- (same as the Verse)
      Am  E           Dm7    E        | Dm7    E       Am  (let it ring out)
