Kingsport Town by Cat Power
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chan Marshall's take on Bob Dylan, from 'The Covers Record' (2000). Her "Naked If I Want
To" cover uses almost an identical riff in its intro and outro to the one she uses in
this. I'm not 100% sure on the tabbing I did on this one, so please, comment if you have
any corrections, but this sounds right to me.
Tabbed by: Scott H.
Tuning: Standard
Intro/Verse:
e|------1--------------------1-----------------|
B|-2--------2-----2----2---------2-----2-------|
G|----2--------2----------2---------2----------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------|
Repeat throughout entire song, up until last verse.
On the first line of the last verse ("Don't you remember..."), I think she is playing
this, but the strumming is very, very light:
e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|----2---2---2---------|
D|----2---2---2---------|
A|--0---0---0-----------|
E|----------------------|
Then resume Intro/Verse riff from "I remember you..." up until the end of the song
Lyrics:
The winter wind
Is blowing so strong
My hands have got
No gloves
Wish to my sole
That I could have
The boy I'm dreaming of
Don't you remember me, babe
I remember you quite well
Caused me to leave
All of New York town
With a high sheriff on my tail
A high sheriff on my tail, boys,
High sheriff on my trail
All because I've fallen for
A curly headed dark-eyed boy
Who's gonna stroke
Your coal black hair
And your sandy colored skin
Who's gonna walk you side by side
And tell you everything is alright
Who's gonna look
You straight in the eye
And hold your bad luck hand
Who's gonna walk you
Who's gonna talk to you
And who's gonna be your woman
The winter wind
Is blowing so strong
My hands have got
No gloves
Don't you remember me, babe?
I remember you quite well
