The Soft Parade by The Doors guitar tab Title: the soft parade INTRO Artist: the doors Album: the soft parade Instrument: Guitar Tabbed by: forrest redden ([email protected]) Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) READ THIS BEFORE LOOKING AT THE TAB This isn't much at all, and it isn't tabbed out in accordance with the rythym of the song; but iam yet to find a tab for this song anywhere on the internet Also it is very IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A BLENDING OF THE INTROS FROM BOTH THE LIVE VERSION (KEYBOARD INTRO) AND THE RECORDED VERSION (GUITAR INTRO). I've pasted this with the best chord interpretation that i've found on the internet. There are many different melodies going on in the intro that i havent't tabbed out, but this should make some of those parts easy to figure out. I haven't even tabbed out any other parts yet. But have fun playing what I believe to be the best DOORS song ever.

You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!" Am Can you give me sanctuary? Dm7 E13 Am I must find a place to hide, a place for me to hide. Can you find me soft asylum? Dm7 E13 Am I can't make it anymore; the man is at the door. Gm7, Abm7, Am7, Bbm7, Am7, Abm7...x 2 Gm7, Abm7, Am7, Bbm7, Am7, Eb9, Abmaj7, Ab.

A Gentle street where people play, Em E7 A welcome to the soft parade. Em B7 All our lives we sweat and save, Em E7 A building for a shallow grave, Em B7 "Must be something else" we say, Em E7 A "somehow to defend this place." Em B7 Everything must be this way. Em Everything must be this way. Em E7 A The soft parade has now begun; Em listen to the engines hum. E7 A People out to have some fun, B7 Em cobra on my left, leopard on my right. Deer woman in a silk dress, A Em girls with beads around their necks, E7 A Bb B kiss the hunter of the green vest who has wrestled before Em with lions in the night. E Out of sight! The lights are getting brighter. The radio is moaning, callin' to the dogs there are still a few animals left out in the yard, but it's not getting harder to describe sailors to the underfed. Tropic corridor, tropic treasure. What got us this far, to this mild equador? We need someone or something new, something' else to get us through. But its getting harder, callin' on the dogs. Shoot at a few animals left out in the yard but its gettin' much harder. You'd better come along. Just you and I. Better bring your gun. You'd better bring your gun. (spoken) When all else fails, we can whip the horses' eyes and make them sleep and cry. 2nd voice over last part Callin' on the dogs, callin' on the dogs, callin' on the dogs. You gotta meet me at the crossroads. Gotta meet me at the edge of town, outskirts of the city. We were so alone. Better bring your gun. 3rd voice over last part Too late, baby! Too late. Tropic corridor, tropic treasure. Tropic corridor, tropic treasure.
