Tab Mapper
Tab or chord file URL:

The tab mapper is a handy little tool that will render a guitar tab file with graphic chord diagrams displayed alongside. This comes in handy for people who just don't have every single chord shape memorized. Just plug in the web site address of a valid .tab or .crd file and hit "Go". In general, the tab mapper does a better job with printer friendly URLs. If there is more than one way to play a chord, the tab mapper will choose the most common shape. To see other fingerings, click on the chord diagram and you will be taken to the chord calculator.

4x total, second two power-chords play on top

Verse 1: (power-chords)
C#
Two tickets on a Chevrolet train
           A                        F#
I've got a suicide packed with your name
C# 
You can doubt any move that is made
         A                   F#
'Cause I put in the words to pay
C#
In a flash, he'll be quick to react
       A                   F#m
I'm a useful spade for the grave
C#
Black calls to the shadowy town
         A                        F#
I said, “What were the chances of saying”

Chorus:
         A          F#
You must remove the skin
         A       F#
And burn off the fuel

Intro x2

Verse 2:
Knocking teeth to improve how you look
And you're using your tongue for a flat
You look tired in your funeral suit
His caskets were all to be had

Real estate, cemetery move over
I'm useful as bones in the tomb
Gas drinks for the shadowy town
Another record is due

Chorus x2
