Tiger Stripes

all in, big crash then snare, quarter-note triplets x2

straight ahead

I gave up all the palm trees, For vigas and adobes

And that clear, mile high mountain air

I traded in the traffic, For sunsets so dramatic

It breaks my heart, that you’re not here

break down to tom fill

2 lines of vox

build to chorus

I had to move on from all your who done who wrong songs

ride, off beat

to hat, straight beat

back to ride

quarter-note triples x2

A tiger’s stripes they aint ever gonna change

A tiger’s stripes they aint ever gonna change

I’m through waiting for some better days,

Cause now I see, your stripes aint gonna change

straight ahead

A new house with empty rooms and lonely afternoons

with time to drink these thoughts away

So its tequila on the plaza To black out all this drama

And forget, who is to blame

break down to tom fill

2 lines of vox

build to chorus

ride, off beat

to hat, straight beat

back to ride

quarter-note triples x2

straight, loose hat

break down to tom fill

2 lines of vox

build to chorus

ride, off beat

to hat, straight beat

back to ride

quarter-note triples x2
