My first tab
I couldn't find any chords or tabs on the song so I went ahead and figured out how to
play it with chords
Might not be completely accurate but it still sounds great to play
Standard Tuning
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Chords]
| E | F#m | Am | C | Em |Em7sus4|
e|--0--|--2--|--0--|--0--|--0--|---0---|
B|--0--|--2--|--1--|--1--|--0--|---0---|
G|--1--|--2--|--2--|--0--|--0--|---2---|
D|--2--|--4--|--2--|--2--|--2--|---1---|
A|--2--|--4--|--0--|--3--|--2--|---2---|
E|--0--|--2--|--0--|--3--|--0--|---0---|
It sounds best if you just play the low E string to imitate the bass then as the song
progresses start playing the A as well then the D and just keep adding in the next strings
until you're playing the full chords
[Intro]
E
I can explain why I cannot give my heart back
F#m E
I left it with my Lady Blue
E
What was her name? She flew in, I caught her
F#m E
I was a fool to let her go
E F#m
She goes, she goes with her hollow bones
E
She goes
E
Every year she's back for the season
F#m E
I have to keep my windows closed
E
I couldn't shake what my mother warned me of
F#m E
Try to keep me safe between the pews
E
I stepped away, saw that Love was outside
F#m E
She wore a name, just a different one
E
They all say
N.C.
I'm sorry boy, you shouldn't fly with her kind
They found a way out of God's love
[Bridge]
E Em E Em
E Em E
She goes, shes goes with her hollow bones
Em
Keepin it pretty is gettin pretty old
E Em
Keepin it pretty is gettin pretty old
Em7sus4
It's getting pretty old
[Chorus]
Am C
Round and round we go, we go around
Am Em7sus4
Round and round we go, she wont stay dead
Stay down
[Bridge]
Em Em7sus4 Em Em7sus4
Em Em7sus4
There's an awful lot of holes I gotta dig
Em Em7sus4
When I know you're gonna climb back up again
Stay dead, stay down
Em Em7sus4
Stay dead, stay down
Em Em7sus4
Stay across the sea, but I know where you'll be
[Chorus]
Am C
When I look around and round we go, we go around
Am Em7sus4
Round and round we go, she won't stay dead
Em7sus4
Stay down
[Guitar Solo]
Em Em7sus4 Em Em7sus4
Em
Lady you're a lure, dancing on the bar
Em7sus4
Oh-ho, you know you are
Em
You call em' to the door, hook 'em in the jaw
Em7sus4
Just for tonight, right?
Em
But maybe when you're bored with the easy caught
Em7sus4
And when I can't afford another empty touch
N.C.
