Spell Of Ambition

Biography:

The Avett Brothers is an American folk-rock band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. Two brothers, Seth Avett and Scott Avett, formed the group in 2000 after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. Subsequently, they have been joined by cellist Joe Kwon. The Avett Brothers combine old-time country, bluegrass, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime to produce a sound described by the Washington Post as "post civil-war modern rock", or by other reviewers as "grungegrass".

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!

New Avett tune called "Spell of Ambition". First played on 3/20/14 in Savannah, GA.
I based this tab off of a YouTube video which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wpuUOMD79I
As it is a new song with potential to change, I'll try to edit as necessary.
Also, during the "my words" section, Seth does a straightforward walkdown on the C chord to the G.

Standard - CAPO 5

G Bm Em
I fell under the spell of ambition
C G
And not even for money
Bm Em
Just to have a chance to listen
C
To the back rows
G
Say honey,
D7 C D7
You’re surely worth the price of a ticket

G Bm Em
Then with nerve and such pretension
C G
I used religion
Bm Em C G
To explain a vision and this blessed position
D C D
To be an object of affection

C G F C
My words feel so plain
C G F C
And rehearsed when I say
D7
Would you forgive me?

G Bm Em
Is the fury of the mother
C G
Does it not live in the daughter?
Bm Em
Is the darkness of the son
C G
Not seen in the father?
D C
I cast a perfect mask
D
But why bother?

G Bm Em
Cause whatever girl I run with
C G
Or at least am in love with
Bm Em
Will have to ask herself
C G
What can I put up with?
D C D
And do I call him stranger or husband?

C G F C
My words feel so plain
C G F C
And rehearsed when I say
D7
Would you forgive me?
C G G/F# Em
Would you let it roll off your shoulders?
C G
Would you let it fall to the ground?
C G G/F# Em
Let me know when it’s ooover
Am D7
So I can set it down

G Bm Em
I fell under the spell of ambition
C G
And not even for glory
Bm Em
Just to have the room’s attention
C G
And tell my story
D C D7
And let them sort the sadness out for me

C G F C
And my words feel so plain
C G F C
And rehearsed when I say
D
Would you forgive me?
C
Would you forgive me?
D7
Would you forgive me?
