  1. I posted this same question on the Lyrics and Tabs forum but it seems a little slow over there. I was wondering if somebody could help me out. I've been trying to arrive at something more definitive for this burning question in my head. In the song 'Capitol City', does anyone know what are the station names during the announcement during the interlude? 


     


    Some seem more clear to me than others...


     


    1. Flemington


     


    2. Woodhouse


     


    3. ????


     


    4. ????


     


    5. Princeton (?)


     


    Perhaps NJ transit names? Made up? 


     


    Sorry if this has already been previously discussed. I couldn't find any similar threads via search.


  2. Thank you for the welcome and for the info/link to Gumbo Pages! I'll give them a try.

     

    Cheers!

     

     

    First off, welcome!

     

    You can find a lot of tabs on the Gumbo Pages (some more accurate than others): The Gumbo Pages

     

    This one's from there (and it looks pretty good to me):

       C				 am	   F			C
    To the rich man's bright lodges I ride in this wind
    C				  am		  D		   G
    On my good horse I call you my shiny Black Bess
       C			am
    To the playhouse of fortune
      F			   C
    to take the bright silver
    C			 am		 F		C
    and gold you have taken from somebody else
    
    
    C		am			F		  C
    and as we go riding in the damp foggy midnight 
    C			  am			D			G
    you snort, my good pony, and you give me your best
    	C		   am		 F  
    for you know, and I know, good horse,
    	   C
    'monst the rich ones
    C		  am		  F		 C
    how oftimes we go there an unwelcome guest
    
     C		  am			F		  C
    I've never took food from the widows and orphans
    C	   am		   D	 G
    and never a hard working man I oppressed
      C			  am
    so take your pace easy,
    F			  C
    for home soon like lightning
      C			am		 F		   F
    we soon will be riding, my shiny black Bess
    
      C			  am	   F		C
    no fat rich man's pony can ever overtake you
    C			 am			 D		   G
    and there's not a rider from the east to the west
      C		  am
    could hold you a light 
    	F			 C  
    in this dark mist and midnight
    	 C		  am
    when the potbellied thieves 
    	  F		 C
    chase the unwelcome guest
    
    C				 am			   
    I don't know good horse
      F			C
    as we trot in this dark here
     C		   am		  D			G
    that robbing the rich is for worse or for best
     C		  am		   F		 C
    they take it by stealing and lying and gambling
    C			am	  F		   C
    and I take it my way, my shiny Black Bess
    
     C			am		   F		   C
    I treat horses good and I'm friendly to strangers
     C			 am			   D			 G
    I ride and your running makes my guns talk the best
    	C		   am		   
    and the rangers and deputies
    F			C
    are hired by the rich man 
      C			am		  F			 C
    to catch me and hang me, my shining Black Bess
    
     C				am		  F
    Yes, they'll catch me napping one day
    		C
    and they'll kill me
    C			am			D		   G
    and then I'll be gone but that won't be my end
       C		   am		  F		 C
    For my guns and my saddle will always be filled
      C		 am			 F		   C
    by unwelcome travellers and other brave men
    
    		C		am		F			  C
    and they'll take the money and spread it out equal
    C			 am			D		G	   
    Just like the bible and the prophets suggest
    	C		   am		F			   C
    but the men that go riding to help these poor workers
    C			 am		   F		 C
    the rich will cut down like an unwelcome guest

     

    I hope this helps.
