_ [C#] _ _ What did she say to him?
I think she wanted to try a solitary method.

[E] _ That was [A] fantastic. _ _ _
_ _ It's such a great band.
It's just fun to get [A] together with musicians and [E] come together on a song.
And [B] Carmelita is one of those songs that I've known the chorus to forever.
But I've never sung the verses.
And it was just great.
It was great singing [E] with James.
I originally thought, well let's do _ _
I Shall Be Released.
And I thought, no,
that's been done in a hundred finales.
It's been done here.
_ So I thought, what other songs have I been thinking about lately?
Well, _ two of Warren Zivon's,
Vera Cruz and Carmelita.
Well, Vera Cruz is kind of hard to get your head around.
_ Carmelita is not.
It's just about [G] pain.
It lifts you out of the pain.
And so I went with that [D] and everybody seemed to like it.
_ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [A] One thing I [D] like about
E-Town is that
there is this real sense of aliveness and improvisation.
Like you can be playing a song like Carmelita that we only played three times
[A] and look over [Em] and Nick's taking an awesome break.
And it's just like, yeah.
[A] _ _ It's different each time.
[E] And that makes it really live.
I think that's fun [D] for people. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] We're going to do a song that
James helped us choose during our rehearsal earlier.
[A] Thinking about a [D] kind of a wistful,
slightly bleak Warren Zivon tune that I think is going to be a sing-along.
It's going to be great.
It's all those things.
I [A] want to thank all our guests.
Thanks to Martha Scanlon and John Neufeld for coming out
to play some songs.
Montana, Portland. _
Thanks to our award winners, Terry Sapp and Carrie Morford. _
Bringing books to kids in need in
their town near Jacksonville, Florida.
Thanks to Helen
and the hardworking E-Towns.
Thanks to James McMurtry.
Thanks to all of you for joining us.
_ I'm Nick Forster.
And I hope you can be with us next week right here in E-Town. _ _
_ _ _ I got mariachi static on my radio
_ The tubes that glow in the [A] dark
_ _ You're there with him and Anderson
And _ I'm here in Echo [D] Park
_ _ _ [G] Carmelina, _
hold me tighter, _ [D] I think I'm sinking [G] down
_ [D] And I'm all strung out [A] on heroin
_ On the _ outskirts [D] of town _ _ _ _
_ _ Well I'm a stint in Fence Telecom
With my poor old [A] hando's
County _ won't give me no more _
Methadone, cut off my
[D] willow fair chains.
[G] Carmelina,
_ hold me tighter, _ [D] I think
I'm sinking [G] down _
And [D] I'm all strung out [A] on heroin
On the _ outskirts [D] of town _

_ And I went to meet my [A] man
_ He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
_ By the [E] Pioneer Chicken [D] Stand
_ _ _ [G] Carmelina, _
hold me tighter, _ [D] I think
I'm sinking [G] down
And [D] I'm all strung out [A] on heroin
On the _ outskirts [D] of town
_ _ [G] Carmelina, hold me tighter,
_ [D] I think I'm sinking down
[G] _ [D] And I'm all strung out
