Artist/Band: Russell Tom Tabs
Song: St. Olav's Gate Tab
A tab I'm doing from work and memory. It's pretty much the same 4 chords throughout
the song, and easy as hell to play. The solo sounds nice and is easy to play with
some practice. About the same difficulty level as BOX OF VISIONS as far as the
guitar solo goes. I like to play this tune live when there's a quite audience, and
I have someone to harmonize for me.
I've made a few posts in the last few days, and only have one request. Can anyone
suggest any kick-ass tunes for me to figure out that are in the Tom Russell Style
or Tom himself? Thx!!
Have fun! - Ken
ST. OLAV'S GATE (Capo on 4th fret - or wherever yer comfortable)
(G)DRINKING BLACK MARKET VODKA IN THE BACK OF THE SCOTTSMAN'S SAL(Am)OON

AND IT'S (D)WALTZIN' MATILDA WHILE THE BAGPIPES PLAY OLD CLARE DE (G)LUNE
SHE WAS A LADY, SHE CAME DOWN FROM BERGEN SHE SAID
SHE SPOKE LITTLE ENGLISH, THEY LAUGHED AND DRANK WHISKEY INSTEAD
IN THE MORNIN' HE FOUND IT... A ROSE WITH A NOTE ON HIS PLATE
IT SAID, "MEET ME AT MIDNIGHT ON THE CORNER OF ST. OLAV'S GATE"
(CHORUS)
(G)HERE'S TO THE LADYS YOU LOVE AND DON'T SEE (Am)AGAIN
THE (D)NIGHT IS WARM WHISKEY... THE MORNIN'S A COLD BITTER (G)WIND
THE BLUE EYED MADONNA LEAVES TOWN WHILE THE DRUNKEN MAN (C)WAITS
LEAVES HIM (D)STANDING ALONE IN THE SHADOWS OF ST. OLAV'S (G)GATE
(SOLO)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
