Phone Call From Leavenworth by Chris Whitley off Living With The Law
--
I believe this is in Open G style tuning but up at least 1 whole step.
Anyhoo, that's how I play it. I vary it around a bit here and there.
Play it briskly! I play it with a slide on my little finger.

Everyone I've played it for seems to enjoy it! I mainly put this
out cuz nobody seems to have any Whitley tab out there.
Let's get more contributed.

This is an inexact tab posted by: John B. Rusling
(but it plays well)

God's right arm in some double pair, all right

(intro)

Verse 2:
Walking a frozen line, western winter be hail and rain
Way back in New York this morning, there aint no one there ever...
...gonna remember my name
Now when the sun comes up mama you should know
Now I just don't care no more, alright

(intro)

Verse 3:
3 o'clock this morning, thought I saw Jesus comin down
He came thru the concrete baby, came thru them walls w/o no sound
Now I said concrete walls that aint no clay, I
Closed my eyes and watched him slip away, alright

(intro)

Verse 4:
They look at U sideways, and call no man by his Christian name
All U got is your backbone to lean on, U can't expect no help...
...from your prayin'
Now when a man wants reason he best be willing to pay
Down in Leavenworth prison I do not count no days

(intro)

Now when a man wants reason he best be willing to pay
Down in Leavenworth prison I do not count no days

(entire intro as outro and end on single string)
