st. teresa
by joan osborne
off of the album *relish*
transcribed by evan c. parker

this is my tab for the verses of this song... not the difinitive
version, mainly because the verses are accompanied by a mandolin,
*not* a guitar. this is just how we play it, because we don't have
a mandolin... so it is really just a cheap imitation, though it sounds
pretty darn good (if i do say so myself.)

st. teresa
by joan osborne
(verse tab solo x1)
(verse)
sit down on the corner, just a little climb
when i make my money got to get my dime
sit down with her baby, wind is full of trash
she's bald as the street light... dark and sweet as hash
(chorus)
am g c f am g c f
way down in the hollow, leaving so soon...
am g c f am g am
oh, st. teresa, higher than the moon.
(verse tab solo x1)
(verse)
reach down for the sweet stuff, when she looks at me
i know any man see's you like i see
follow down the side street moving single file
she says that's where i'll hold you sleeping like a child
(repeat chorus)
(verse tab solo x1)
(verse)
just what i've been needing, i feel it rise in me
she says every storm and story like a rosery
corner st. teresa just a little crime
when i make my money, got to get my dime
(repeat chorus) g am
(bridge)
am g c f
am g c f

(verse tab solo x1)
(finale)
