Tuning: Standard Capo 4th Fret
AmDmGCC/BAm When they came in the night, they said we'll take what we like, AmDmGCC/BAm I said I'd wish you well, but I’ve been living like hell, AmDmGCC/BAm I don’t have what you need, but I can tell you what I can see, AmDmGCC/BAm I close my eyes and go to sleep I feel the gun press to my cheek
Am I see the ocean rolling fast I see the grass I see the grass, Am I see it swallow up the past I see the grass I see the grass, Am I see there hands empty at last I see the grass I see the grass, Am and all you ask me all you ask, all you ask, all you ask, F what have you got for me?
Am
F what have you got for me?
Am
CG you knew that this day was coming on.
AmDmGCC/BAm I woke at first daylight, the suns still shining just as bright, AmDmGCC/BAm cause' yesterday when it seems, the world could end inside a dream, AmDmGCC/BAm I put on boots and went outside, the enemy still shooting wide, AmDmGCC/BAm If they believe what I see, they wouldn’t shoot so thoughtlessly.
Am I see the ocean rolling fast I see the past I see the grass, Am I see I see their hands empty at last I see the grass I see the grass, Am I see it swallow up the past I see the grass I see the grass, Am and all you ask may all you ask, all you ask, all you ask,
F what have you got for me?
Am
F what have you got for me?
Am
CG you knew that this day was coming so why didn’t you stop running, AmF your hands are not too full to get away CG this aint gunna stop till something cures you of all you wanting, AmF until you loose what you’ll not give away.
CGAm Its time to make peace with this place CGAm call this the end of the race.
There are some little additions and run ups that really add to the song which i'll tab out aswell.
Going From G to C e|-2---------0--| B|-2---------1--| G|-0---------0--| D|-0---------2--| A|-2---0-2-3-3--| E|-3-3-------0--|
The Am after "what have you got for me" e|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--| B|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--| G|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--| D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--| A|-0-0-2-2-3-3-2-0--| E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|
Also an easier way to play C/B
e|-0-| B|-1-| G|-0-| D|-2-| A|-2-| E|-0-|
There you go, the lyrics might be a bit sketchy though.
Heres another tip: If you don't have a Capo just hire someone to bar 4th with their little finger for the whole song.
