I've been in this town so long that back in the city

Once at night Catillian squared the fight
Eb
And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her down
Ab
But she's still dancing in the night
Db
Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains
In this part it changes to the piano riff, you wont be able to play the notes exactly
as they are on a piano as it would require you to have fingers the size of bananas.
Here is a way to play it a guitar by fingerpicking the chords that go with it. The
timing is like patting you head and bubbing your stomach but keep trying...
{Ebm} bar chord position to hold for the easiest and move you index finger for the
bass melody.

and just lift your little finger

Play slowly and possibly finger pick these notes randomly. I didnt bother tabing this
bit cos there not really any certain way to play it. Just hold the chord positions and
pick. or you can just strum if you want. This isnt in all versions of the song and the
piano chords are quite difficult to decifer.
Try fingerpicking these chords.
Ebm
In the cantina
Fbm
Margarita's keep the spirit high

>>>Back to fingerpicking the tabbed part at the start quite loudly to give a powerful
>>>darker sound.
Ebm

Abm

This last part is an instrumental of different melodies and doesnt really sound like
you could play it on your own on a guitar while keeping the volume so just play
something like this. However your free to imporovise with this part
Db Ab Db Eb
Then perhaps work your way up to the F on the 9th fret like this (you can change the
chords around but just make sure you end on a Ab then a Db slowly...
For example...
Fbm 2 beats F 2 beats Fbm 2 beats Ebm 2 beats Ab 2 beats Db slowly
Thats it then, not so easy after all, but there should be anough to keep you busy for
a while it took me ages to tab so please excuse any mistakes, and sometimes Abm is
actually Ab Mayjor i know but its just easier to fingerpick that way and you cant
really tell unless your being an ass.
