                          VOOC O CANDLE - Jay Farrar
E|E|------------------------------

E|----------------------------------

E|-----------|| 

Tabbed by: James Wyatt

Tuning: standard

My buddy Jonathan turned me onto 
Farrar's album Sebastapol, and this
song's always stuck in my head. I 
hammered out some chords today and 
found this to be a
pretty good acoustic version though 
I'm sure it's far from perfect. I've
 seen a few
online versions but they're faster 
and electric, this is more akin to 
how it's
played on Sebastopol.

There are basically three segments: 
the preamble, the prechorus and the 
chorus. Listen
to the song and "funk it up" a bit 
as needed.


(preamble/intro)
[G]             [D]
Caught between, between two worlds
[Am]            [C]
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be 
fenced in

[G]             [D]
Caught between, between two worlds
[Am]            [C]
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be 
fenced in


(I call this simply "the riff")
E|-------------3-3-----| 
B|1-0---0--1---3-3-----| 
G|0-0-2-0--0-2---------| 
D|----0------0---------| 
A|---------------------| 
E|---------------------| 

[G]
Scattered along the way must be some
 understanding
(the riff)
[G]
Handwritten skyline room for ideals 
ascending
(the riff)

(For this part, the prechorus, strum
 a G chord and throw in some muted 
string riffs and
maybe walk up the low E string from 
F to G)
It's alright, it's alright, I know 
that it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, I know 
that it's alright

(Use the same process as above for 
the chorus here, but more solid 
strumming and less
muted strings)
'Cause I've got a voodoo candle
I've got a voodoo candle
I've got a voodoo candle
I've got a voodoo candle

(the riff, a few times)
[G]
Packaged and put out, more or less 
dreaming
(the riff)
[G]
Later on business, low level 
screaming
(the riff)
[G]
Pell-mell from the committee of 
welcoming
(the riff)
[G]
Taste a different pattern, the blind
 frequency
