Subject: CRD: "Ballad of the Sad Cafe" by Calobo

"Ballad of the Sad Cafe" from the Calobo album "Runnin' in the River"
Brought to you by Mike Schweisthal (mschweis@u.washington.edu)

Notes:  I'm not certain that these lyrics are entirely correct, but the
chords are pretty solid (my dad helped me with this one, I believe...)  If
you know how to do hammer-ons and pull-offs with G and C chords, I
recommend messing around with them a bit--it sounds really nice with this
song.  A '|' denotes a measure break.

Chords Used:

	EADGBE
G:	320003
C:	X32010
Am:	X02210
