Twilight's Last Gleaming - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper

Tabbed by Adam Bishop

There seem to be two guitars, one acoustic and one electric.
The acoustic one probably plays open chords, but the electric
one sounds like it plays barre chords:

C  - 8-10-10-9-8-8
G  - 355433
Am - 577555
F  - 133211
G# - 466544
Bb - 688766


C        G        Am        F        G#

(no guitar)
Well in the twilight's last gleaming, out past the interstate
That's where you'll find me, hope you're not too late

            C                         G
Well in the twilight's last gleaming, down by the power lines
    Am                             F              G#
I'm rolling in the dirt and I'm completely out my mind

Sirens are a-wailing, I'm heading out of town
I'm rolling like a number, I'm a-looking but I can't be found (?)

Well in the twilight's last gleaming, back behind the barn
I'm a-yelling and a-screaming, burning down the farm

Well in the dawn's early light I see the fires up on the hills
And the burning condominiums and the feelings that I feel

Well in the twilight's last gleaming, sitting in my car
Listening to the radio right outside this bar

Well the dynamite is strapped in and the gun is in my hand
I ain't going along to no promised land

(After this, and for almost the rest of the song, play Bb after
the G#, before you go back to C)

Promised land

Well in the twilight's last gleaming, I'm chained to a TV screen
They're making me watch Solid Gold and I'm pulling out my spleen

Well in the twilight's last gleaming, oh they want to resurrect the King

Yeah they want to dig him up yeah they want to hear him sing again

Oh now they're been waiting, waiting and waiting and waiting
See Elvis crucified on a black velvet painting

Now I see so clearly I know it's not a dream
And everybody's creaming in the twilight's last gleaming

Twilight's last gleaming
Twilight's last last last oh oh yeah, wow
Whoo, whoo whoo

(Repeat first two verses)

End on C
