Song: Fader Artist: The Temper Trap Tabbed by: Lee Pethers ([email protected])
Slight modification to the other tab I saw. Theres an important Bm chord in this song, theres actually 5 chords and not 4. I've also thrown in a tab for the solo which is accurate I think.
ABm I'm in transit GEm floating stranded on this boat ABm and I pledge myself allegiance GD to a better night sleep at home ABm and the sweet sweet sun's comin’ down hard G the sun's comin’ down hard Em it burns the bones A so hold a hand for cover Bm hold a hand for cover G hold a hand for cover from harm
ABmG woooohoo wooooohoo woooohoo hoo A talk don't change a thing
ABmG woooohoo wooooohoo woooohoo hoo A oh, it's fading fader
[repeat for the next part]
woo oo oo... words don't sink they swims oh, it's fading fader
ABm bless this mess G we tried our best Em that's all that we can do A while the angels walk Bm with the lonely ones GD in the cold rain to rescue you ABm and this fable world's comin’ down hard G the wall's comin’ down hard Em on all our homes A so hold a hand for cover Bm hold a hand for cover G hold a hand for cover from harm
[repeat chorus with same chords as before]
Solo: Play twice with slight distortion
