Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Just a little chord tab of how I play Use Somebody by The Kings of Leon on acoustic. The Em DOES work and a few of the suggested replacements really don't sound right at all. I also didn't tab the bridge because I don't think it flows well on acoustic as it goes straight into the solo on the original version. Capo on 1st fret optional. All chords are the standard chords.
(let the F ring, begin singing the first few lines as the F dies out)
[Verse]
CEmF I've been roaming around, always looking down at all I see FCEmF Painted faces fill the places I can't reach FAmCF You know that I could use somebody FAmCF (once again let it ring) You know that I could use somebody
[Chorus]
CEmF Someone like you and all you know and how you speak FCEmF Countless lovers under cover of the streets FAmCF You know that I could use somebody FAmCF ring) You know that I could use somebody CEmF Someone like you Woahh Ohhh Woahh Ohhh Ohhh (lets the F ring again) CEmF Someone like you and all you know and how you speak FCEmF Countless lovers under cover of the streets FAmCF You know that I could use somebody FAmCF ring) You know that I could use somebody CEmF Someone like you Woahh Ohhh Woahh Ohhh Ohhh (lets the F ring again)
[Verse]
CEmF Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep FCEmF Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat FAmCF I hope it's gonna make you notice FAmCF (Let F ring...again) I hope it's gonna make you notice
[Chorus]
CEmF Someone like meeeeeeee eee CEmF Someone like meeeeeeee eee AmCF Someone me, somebody AmCF Someone me, somebody AmCF (let the ring) Someone like you, somebody CEmF I've been roaming around, always looking down at all I see
I hope you can understand it how i play it. if your un sure about the bit with letting the F's ring, or you think its wrong let me know and i'll try explain it better. Other than that, i hope you guys have a really awesome time playing a really awesome song! Please rate and comment what you thought, as this is my first tab. Feedback MUCH :)
-----Edit-----
When playing the F chord in the verses try and let your finger catch the high E string you got for an up strum :) just adds a little something extra in there.
