WALT GRACE'S SUBMARINE TEST, JANUARY 1967 -- JOHN MAYER, "Born and Raised" (2012)
Exact chords tabbed by ClassicalfreaK, 2015
** I noticed a lot of discrepancies with this song with other people, and I'm uploading
a version that has the exact chords with the right extensions. If the key of is too hard
(It IS a hard key!) then you could transpose it down a whole-step to and use second capo. **
** The "chord - - - " layout is to distinguish beat, so during instrumental sections you know
exactly when you should be changing chords. **

BM7
Walt Grace, desperately hating his old place
Dreamed to discover a new space and buried himself alive
Inside his basement
BM7
The tongue on the side of his face meant
He's working away on displacement
And what it would take to survive
BRIDGE
'Cause when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried
But with the will to work hard and a library card
BM7
He took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride

BM7
That morning the sea was mad and I mean it
Waves as big as he'd seen it deep in his dreams at home
BM7
From dry land, he rolled it over to wet sand
Closed the hatch up with one hand
And pedaled off alone
BRIDGE
'Cause when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
And for once in his life, it was quiet
As he learned how to turn in the tide
And the sky was aflare when he came up for air
BM7
In his homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride

BM7
One evening, when weeks had passed since his leaving
The call she planned on receiving finally made it home
BM7
She accepted the news she never expected
The operator connected the call from Tokyo
BRIDGE
'Cause when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
Now his friends bring him up when they're drinking
At the bar with his name on the side
$
And they smile when they can, as they speak of the man
BM7
Who took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
