Owen's Lament

"Owen's Lament" by Augie March Written by Richards/Augie March Transcribed by Tim Byron I'm not sure about how to transcribe stuff with capos. Owen's Lament has a capo on 2 on Glenn's guitar. I'm just going to transcribe it as if there's no capo. Another song in 6/8. e|------------------------------------- b|---------------------------8--10-11-- g|------------------------------------- d|------------------------------------- a|---------------------------7--9--10-- e|------------------------------------- v1: e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- b|---12-------12-------12----12-11-10------8--------8-------8-----8--10-11-- g|------13-------13-------13------------------9--------9-------9------------ d|---------13------------------------------------9-------------------------- a|11----------------11-------11-10-9----7-----------------7-------7--9--10-- e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ? e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- b|---12-------12-------12----12-11-10------8--------8-------8-----8--10-11-- g|------13-------13-------13------------------9--------9-------9------------ d|---------13------------------------------------9-------------------------- a|11----------------11-------11-10-9----7-----------------7-------7--9--10-- e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- b|----2--------2--------2-------2----------8--------8--------8----8--10-11-- g|-------8--------8-------8--------8----------9--------9-------9------------ d|-----------------------------------------------9-------------------------- a|----------9----------------9----------7-----------------7-------7--9--10-- e|-7-----------------7------------------------------------------------------ e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- b|----12-------12-------12-------12---------8--------8-------8--------8----- g|-------13-------13-------13-------13---------9--------9-------9--------9-- d|----------13----------------13------------------9----------------9-------- a|-11----------------11------------------7-----------------7---------------- e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- v1:Level your fretting I won't be forgetting the flush of your face, when I v2:If you have to go please go light- ly e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- b|----12-------12-------12-------12---------8--------8-------8--------8----- g|-------13-------13-------13-------13---------9--------9-------9--------9-- d|----------13----------------13------------------9----------------9-------- a|-11----------------11------------------7-----------------7---------------- e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- v1:Lifted you level to me and the wattle tree framed your body v2:Keep it to a fox trot Whether he's a fox or not e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- b|-----------------------------------------8--------8-------8--------8------ g|----9--------9--------9-------9-------------9--------9-------9--------9--- d|-------11-------11-------11------11------------9----------------9--------- a|----------11----------------11--------7-----------------7----------------- e|--9----------------9------------------------------------------------------ v1: In whispers Welling with the dope of a v2: Keep it cold, keep all your heat for e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- b|----2--------2--------2-------2------------------------------------------- g|-------8--------8-------8--------8-------9--------9--------9-------9------ d|--------------------------------------------11-------11-------11------11-- a|----------9----------------9-------------------11----------------11------- e|-7-----------------7-------------------9----------------9----------------- v1:New spring, you said "Kill me a dynasty or our v2:Me- -ee.
