Half A Smidge

	  		In the interest of honesty, these chords have been provided by the Chordify  
service. They *should* be correct. This song is an excellent example of Calexico's  
lighter side. Enjoy it!  

Note: Please pay attention to the strumming style in the original-- I can't really  
transcribe it here, but it makes the fairly simple chord progression more interesting. 

C        G              F 
When the evening sun is setting low 
C        G           F 
Blinding you on your drive home 
C       G                F 
And the lanes of traffic all converge 
C        G            F 
Causing you to curse every other word 
Em     G           C 
For to wish it all away 

        (pause briefly, then slowly sweep downward with pick/one finger on C) 

C     G                 F 
Daily grind's got your screw stripped 
C         G             F                  Em    G 
No can of double-ya-dee forty can fix your situation 
      C               F 
Seems to be losing steam 


         
C       G               F       G 
Dream's been dropped on credit cards 
Am  C           Em                  F 
And false hope pumping out of your soul 
F        C      G                F 
Like oil in the gulf it's a dead end 
Am       C                 F 
Drive it further deep into the ground 
G                 F           G 
Till the point's dull as your skull 
        F    Em           Dm 
And the same sun that you curse 
            G            C 
Powers your hybrid heart home 

(more lightly now): 

C            G 
If only this car could move 
F
