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 F# is too hard
(It IS a hard key!) then you could transpose it down a whole-step to E and use second capo. **
** The "chord - - - " layout is to distinguish beat, so during instrumental sections you know
exactly when you should be changing chords. **

VERSE
F# F#/C# BM7
Walt Grace, desperately hating his old place
C# D#m C# B6
Dreamed to discover a new space and buried himself alive
F#
Inside his basement
F#/C# BM7
The tongue on the side of his face meant
C# D#m
He's working away on displacement
C# B6
And what it would take to survive
BRIDGE
G#m D#m C#
'Cause when you're done with this world
G#m D#m C#
You know the next is up to you
CHORUS
F# B C#sus C#
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
F# B G#m7 C#
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried
F# B D#m G#
But with the will to work hard and a library card
BM7 C#sus C#
He took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
F# D#mF# D#m

VERSE
F# F#/C BM7
That morning the sea was mad and I mean it
C# D#m B6
Waves as big as he'd seen it deep in his dreams at home
F# F#/C# BM7
From dry land, he rolled it over to wet sand
C# D#m
Closed the hatch up with one hand
C# B6
And pedaled off alone
BRIDGE
G#m D#m C#
'Cause when you're done with this world
G#m D#m C#
You know the next is up to you
CHORUS
F# B C#sus C#
And for once in his life, it was quiet
F# B G#m7 C#
As he learned how to turn in the tide
F# B D#m G#
And the sky was aflare when he came up for air
BM7 C#sus C#
In his homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride

VERSE
F# F#/C# BM7
One evening, when weeks had passed since his leaving
C# D#m C# B6
The call she planned on receiving finally made it home
F# F#/C# BM7
She accepted the news she never expected
C# D#m C# B6
The operator connected the call from Tokyo
BRIDGE
G#m D#m C#
'Cause when you're done with this world
G#m D#m C#
You know the next is up to you
CHORUS
F# B C#sus C#
Now his friends bring him up when they're drinking
F# B G#m7 C#
At the bar with his name on the side
F# B D#m
G$
And they smile when they can, as they speak of the man
BM7 C#sus C#
Who took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
