Tigers Jaw are an American indie rock band from Scranton, Pennsylvania that formed in 2005. The band is currently comprised of vocalist/guitarist Ben Walsh and vocalist/keyboardist Brianna Collins. The band's name is a reference to a song by lo-fi band The Microphones. Tigers Jaw originally consisted of Walsh, Collins, drummer Mike May, vocalist/guitarist Adam McIlwee and bassist Dennis Mishko. May stayed with the band for only a few months, never recording any material with them; and was replaced by Pat Brier the same year.
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!
This one was tricky, mostly because it uses chords/leads atypical of what they usually write. It makes more sense if you put a capo on it, but this is written for no capo.
VERSE: GmA# Keep to myself until its over, CmA# I cant see it but i know its there. GmA# And if youd like the sight of failure for a change, CmA# Well you can call me anytime.
GmA#D#A# Little boy, with all that weight upon your shoulders, GmA#D#A# You know you never stood a chance
LEAD LICK: D# - A#Cm x2
CHORUS: GmD#A#Cm G.L. was a drive and Im outside, and Ive never felt further from home. GmD#A#Cm Its permanent, like ink on skin. Return is a foreign word.
OUTRO LICK: (Same as intro lick)
