Hurricane Season - Billy Pilgrim
Tabbed by: Matt Stryker (mattstryker@zdnetonebox.com)

I've seen them play this in concert, and they may play it as E, G#m, C#m, A.
For the chorus, hammer on/off of the E string as you play the G chord (similar to the Everclear song Santa Monica) to get the proper effect.


G			 	Bm
The quarter moon like chalk on a slate
Em				C
Board the windows up before it's too late
The weather man and my horoscope both agree
It's not in the stars tonight for folks like me

I chase the minute hand around my watch
and smell the rain blowing in
A flashlight for my soul and a blanket for the cold
I guess we'll sit this one through
G-F-C			G-F-C
Ah it's hurricane season
	       		G-F-C
Batten down the hatches boys
                    G-F-C
It's hurricane season

Rain blurred on a night like this
You'd think there's nothing left on earth
The wind measures out the size of my bones
and tries to tell me what they're worth

Then it all starts up, gets out of control
And your life blows up like a great big balloon
It gets sucked up by the swirling wind
and you know another hurricane is coming through again
          Am			    Em
At the edge of the mariner's map it's written
F
"Beyond this place lie monsters"

Chorus
	Am			    Em
At the edge of the mariner's map it's written
C				G
Things like this can't be forgiven
	Am			    Em
At the edge of the mariner's map it's written
C					D
Beyond this place, beyond this place
