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!
Standard Tuning... Capo - 8th fret.
All chords relative to capo.
Here are the chords I will use in this TAB... I'm not sure on all of the
correct names, but if you follow what it says, it should sound right!
Verse: G? D? Gmaj7 Pre-Chorus: C9 Bm G7 C Cm G Am5...
E||--------0---------------------------------------------------------------|
B||--------3---3-----------------------3--3--3--1--1--3--------------------|
G||--------0---0---0-------------------0--4--0--0--0--0---2---p0-----------|
D||--------0---4---4-------------------2--4--3--2--1--0---2------2---p0----|
A||------------5---5-------------------3--2--2--3--3--2---0----------------|
E||----------------3-------------------------3--------3--------------------|
With the "Am5..." chord, he plays it like that every time it comes round,
with the two pull-offs. If you listen to the song, you can hear the exact rhythm.
Chorus: G Dsus4/F# Em7 G3/G G3/F# G3/E G3/D C9
E||--------3---3---------3----------------------------3-----|
B||--------3---3---------3-----0----0-----0----0------3-----|
G||--------0---0---------0-----0----0-----0----0------0-----|
D||--------0---0---------2-----5----4-----2----0------2-----|
A||--------2---0---------2----------------------------3-----|
E||--------3---2---------0---------------------------(3)----|
The succession of G3 chords followed by C9 is played in the chorus under the
lyrics "growing all alone" and later "before I'm all alone". The chords are
played each to one syllable, I've tried to make this clear below, but I just
thought I'd put a note in here to make it absolutely clear.
A chord followed by "~" shows that it should be plucked once and allowed to ring out.
This is my first Ultimate Guitar TAB, so if you like it, please rate!
Enjoy!
Ageing Superhero - Newton Faulkner
VERSE:
G?~ D?~ Gmaj7~
Every time I think of growing up I find out that I just slipped back,
I got it all wrong you know I,
G?~ D?~ Gmaj7~
Feel younger than I did when I was younger on a backwards track
G?~ D?~ Gmaj7~
I thought by now I could have figured it all out instead I'm further back,
Feels kinda stupid but I,
G?~ D?~ Gmaj7~
Feel 16 in my head but I guess it's only five years back

Because he's lived too fast for too long
C9 G~
and he still longs to be inspired
VERSE:
G?~ D?~ G7~

It sounds so stupid I,
