THE DEAD MILKMEN
Tacoland

from Bucky Fellini

Tabbed by: Ben Gladdle (moose9377@hotmail.com)


One of the best from Bucky Fellini, just behind Jellyfish
Heaven and City of Mud. In my opinion, anyway.

Two guitars in this one, a normal guitar and another lead guitar
that's used on all the slide parts. My slide is missing, but you
might want to dig yours out and have a shot.

Once again, it's all bar chords, and I'm feeling nice today, so
I'm going to list 'em all for ya, but you really should know
these by now.

D#  x68886
 D  x57775
 F  133211
Cm  x35543

Verse:
-----
G Bb
     There's a place
C D#
     In San Anton
G Bb
     Where I can go
C D#
     And not feel alone!


Chorus:
------
G   D
Tacoland
D#         Bb
It's a panacea
G   D
Tacoland
        D#             Bb
They're always glad to see ya


Chorus2:
-------
C              D#
   You'll understand
         C
When you go on
D#          F
Down to Tacoland

For this part, the normal guitar is playing the chords
in the background while the lead slides up to each of the
C and D# chords.


verse:
When I feel
My world is lost
I go to Tacoland
And I get really tossed!

chorus:
I wish my band would always play
Tacoland, I want to stay

chorus2:
You'll understand
When you go on
Down to Tacoland


Bridge:
------
          Cm              Gm
There's a girl with dirty hair
              Cm              Gm
She's got her dress up in the air
    G#             D#
She tells a lot of jokes
      Bb          F      G
Hell, she's got a lot to share


Instrumental:
------------
 Bbsus4/Bb               D#
E---6--6---6--6---6--6---6--6---9-9-9-8-6---
B---6--6---6--6---6--6---8--8---------------
G---8--7---8--7---8--7---8--8---------------
D---8--8---8--8---8--8---8--8---------------
A---8--8---8--8---8--8---6--6---------------
E---6--6---6--6---6--6----------------------

The little bit at the end can be played as individual notes,
or whilst still holding the D#, if your fingers are agile
enough.


chorus:
Tacoland
We ate a lot of figs
They passed around a bottle
And we took a lot of swigs

chorus2:
It's nature's plan
To go on
Down to Tacoland


Outro:
-----
Bb
Tacoland
     F                   D#            Bb
Just three quarters of a mile past the Rockwood exit
             F        Cm                  Gm     Cm     Gm     D#
In beautiful downtown San Antonio, Texas


Ending: (single strums)
------
Bb A A/Bb


And play that last slide up with the same guitar as the Chorus2 part.
