Secondhand Serenade is a one man band from Menlo Park, California. John Vesely, 30, sings and plays guitar and piano. His music is characterized by multitrack recording so he can create the sound of a band by himself. He uses multitrack recording to create vocal harmonies, and a lead acoustic guitar over strummed chords.
After the breakup of Sounds Like Life, featuring himself and Ronnie Day, Vesely started writing and performing his songs solo under the name Secondhand Serenade.
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 is in standard tuning. It is rather easy. I made up chord names because there are no official names for them. The trick to this song, is to mute the A string on the ‘C’ chord. There are more tabs like this at: http://www.freewebs.com/ztro19

[Intro]
CDE
[Verse 1]
CD In the moonlight, your face it glows EC Like a thousand diamonds, I suppose DE And your hair flows like, the ocean breeze CDE Not a million fights could make me hate you C You’re invincible, yeah it’s true DE It’s in your eyes where I find peace
[Chorus]
ADE Is it broken, can we work it out B Let’s light up the town, scream out loud ADE Is it broken, can we work it out B I can see in your eyes you’re ready to break (mute) C - D - E Don’t look away
[Verse 2]
CD So here we are now in a place where EEECD The sun blends in, with the ocean thin E So thin we can stand CD Across from each other, together we’ll wonder EC If we will last these days DE If I asked you to stay would you tell me C - D - E You would be mine CD And time is all I ask for EC - D - E Time, I just need one more day AD And time, you’ve been crying too long A Time, and your tears wrote this song D - E - B Stay
(soft) CDE In the moonlight, your face it glows
[Chorus]
ADE Is it broken, can we work it out B Let’s light up the town, scream out loud ADE Is it broken, can we work it out B I can see in your eyes you’re ready to break (mute) C - D - E Don’t look away
