Sixto Rodriguez - Crucify Your Mind Chords & Tabs

Sixto Rodriguez - Crucify Your Mind

I suggest a different chord progression than the existing tab.
There is definitive bassline drop from A to G# to G, which is reflected by using the 
chords A (002220), Amaj7 (002120), A7 (002020).
The transition E to A is quick (only the catch a couple of E bass notes).


Intro: A  Amaj7 A7 - E A  (2 times)

          A
Was it a huntsman or a player
     Amaj7
That made you pay the cost
          A7
That now assumes relaxed positions
    E                 A
And prostitutes your loss?
          A
Were you tortured by your own thirst
         Amaj7
In those pleasures that you seek
      A7
That made you Tom the curious
     E                     A
That makes you James the weak?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/sixto_rodriguez/crucify_your_mind_crd.html ]
         E                      A
And you claim you got something going
 E                      A
Something you call unique
 D                             A
But I've seen your self-pity showing
 E                               A
And the tears rolled down your cheeks.

A  Amaj7 A7- E A

      A
Soon you know I'll leave you
       Amaj7
And I'll never look behind
          A7
'Cos I was born for the purpose
     E               A
That crucifies your mind.

        A
So con, convince your mirror.
         Amaj7
As you've always done before
        A7
Giving substance to shadows
       E              A
Giving substance ever more.

        E                           A
And you assume you got something to offer
 E                 A
Secrets shiny and new
D                       A
But how much of you is repetition
E               A
That you didn't whisper to him too.

A  Amaj7 A7- E A
