                          VOOC O CANDLE - Jay Farrar
E|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: James Wyatt

Tuning: standard

My buddy Jonathan turned me onto Farrar's album Sebastapol, and this
song's always stuck in my head. I hammered out some chords today and found this to be a 
pretty good acoustic version though I'm sure it's far from perfect. I've seen a few 
online versions but they're faster and electric, this is more akin to how it's 
played on Sebastopol.

There are basically three segments: the preamble, the prechorus and the chorus. Listen 
to the song and "funk it up" a bit as needed.


(preamble/intro)
[G]             [D]
Caught between, between two worlds
[Am]            [C]
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be fenced in

[G]             [D]
Caught between, between two worlds
[Am]            [C]
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be fenced in


(I call this simply "the riff")

E|-------------3-3-----|
B|1-0---0--1---3-3-----|
G|0-0-2-0--0-2---------|
D|----0------0---------|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|

[G]
Scattered along the way must be some understanding
(the riff)
[G]
Handwritten skyline room for ideals ascending
(the riff)

(For this part, the prechorus, strum a G chord and throw in some muted string riffs and 
maybe walk up the low E string from F to G)
It's alright, it's alright, I know that it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, I know that it's alright

(Use the same process as above for the chorus here, but more solid strumming and less 
muted strings)
'Cause I've got a voodoo candle
I've got a voodoo candle
I've got a voodoo candle
I've got a voodoo candle

(the riff, a few times)
[G]
Packaged and put out, more or less dreaming
(the riff)
[G]
Later on business, low level screaming
(the riff)
[G]
Pell-mell from the committee of welcoming
(the riff)
[G]
Taste a different pattern, the blind frequency
