Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967 by John Mayer
Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:6th fret
[Verse 1]
C F
Walt Grace, desperately hating his old place
Am
Dreamed to discover a new space
F
And buried himself alive
C F
Inside his basement, tongue on the side of his face meant
Am
He's working away on displacement
F
And what it would take to survive
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am G
'Cause when you're done with this world
Dm Am G
You know the next is up to you
C F G
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
C F G
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried
[Chorus]
C F Am D
But with a will to work hard and a library card
F G C
He took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
[Verse 2]
C F
That morning the sea was mad, and I mean it
Am
Waves as big as he'd seen it
F
Deep in his dreams at home
C F
From dry land, he rolled it over to wet sand
Am
Closed the hatch up with one hand
F
And pedaled off alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am G
'Cause when you're done with this world
Dm Am G
You know the next is up to you
C F G
And for once in his life, it was quiet
C F G
As he learned how to turn in the tide
[Chorus]
C F Am D
And the sky was aflare when he came up for air
F G C
In his homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
[Verse]
C F
One evening, when weeks had passed since his leaving
Am
The call she planned on receiving
F
Finally made it home
C
She accepted
F
The news she never expected
Am
The operator connected
F
The call from Tokyo
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am G
'Cause when you're done with this world
Dm Am G
You know the next is up to you
C F G
Now his friends bring him up when they're drinking
C F G
At the bar with his name on the side
[Chorus]
C F
And they smile when they can
Am D
As they speak of the man
F G C
He took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride

Walt Grace
Desperately aiding his whole place
Dreamed to discover a new space
And buried himself alive
Inside his basement
Tongue on the side of his face meant
He's working away on his placement
And what it would take to survive
'Cause when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
And his friends said he'd fail if he'd try
But with the will to work hard
And a library card
He took a homemade, fan-blade
One-man submarine ride
That morning
The sea was mad and I mean it
Waves as big as he'd seen it
Deep in his dreams at home
From dry land
He rolled it over to wet sand
Closed the hatch up with one hand
And peddled off alone
'Cause when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
And for once in his life it was quiet
As he learned how to turn in the tide
And the sky was a-flare
When he came up for air
In his homemade, fan-blade
One-man submarine ride
One evening
When weeks had passed since he's leavin'
The call she planned on receivin'
Finally made it home
She accepted
The news she never expected
The operator connected
The call from Tokyo
'Cause when you're done with this world
You know the next is up to you
Now his friends bring him up when they're drinkin'
At the bar with his name on the side
And they smile when they can
As they speak of the man
Who took a homemade, fan-blade
One-man submarine ride

Verse
(3) - notes in parenthesis are heard clearly on album, but not played live. May be a

*first time through on verse this first 5777 pattern is played as 7787, second time is
5777. This changes around, but do what works for you! Also, the string picking pattern is
flipped around periodically here:
Eb|--7-7-| Eb|---7--| Eb|------|
Bb|---7--| Bb|--7-7-| Bb|---7--|
Gb|------| Gb|------| Gb|--7-7-|
Db|------| Db|------| Db|------|
Ab|-5----| Ab|-5----| Ab|-5----|
i.e. instead of Eb|------| may be Eb|------| or this (live) Eb|------|
or other combinations, mixing it up. He does this on any part of the verse pattern, even
on the recording. Again, do what you feel is right.
