"Ballad of the Sad Cafe" from the Calobo album "Runnin' in the River"
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.

Intro: | G | G | C | C |
I'm looking out my window
And I see the falling rain
And I can't say what I don't know
But I know I can't stand the pain
All my days are gone. . .looking for a new way. . .to find my rose Am (tacet) C (tacet) G And so the story goes. . .the ballad of the sad cafe. . . | | | | | The ballad of the sad cafe
And I put on my walking shoes
To find a face that I can't see
And I find the bottle and the blues
You know this ain't my cup of tea
All my days are gone. . .looking for a new way. . .to find my rose Am (tacet) C (tacet) And so the story goes...

In the ballad of the sad cafe. . .the ballad of the sad cafe
I'm looking out my window
And all I love is empty space
And I can't see what I don't know
But I'd love to find your face
All my days are gone. . .looking for a new way. . .to find my rose Am (tacet) C (tacet) G So the story goes. . .the ballad of the sad cafe. . . | | | | | The ballad of the sad cafe...
