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!
Alright then, this is a beautiful song which is difficult to tab because it's played with guitar and a banjoo (or something like this I'm really not an expert). I would like to concentrate on the guitar part, but in the verse there is only that banjoo to be heard so that I will tab this. And also in the solo it's carrying the main melody.
So, you play in the verse as listet above and after the Dm C again but only twice and end on an regulary strummed G.
Verse: C(x4) There ain't no wasted time Am(x4) covering our own ground Dm(x4) Sooner or later on, C(x2) G we're all surprised
(same again here) by nights that we lay awake with the world just a caving in Truth can be defeaning and lies can become
Chorus: DmC Seems like if I had a wasted time GAm I would've knelt to the gallows and gone DmC Seems like I may have lost my mind GC but walked away with a head to carry on
Moments of time do pass They're burnt in like photographs Sometimes it's hard to rest Unless you dream
You'll never now I guess what will befall your acts Sooner or later on we're all just taken back
Chorus again
Bridge: DmCG Whatcha wanna fight for? DmAmCG Is it worth dying for slowly (slowly slowly)
Verse:
There ain't no wasted time covering our own ground Sooner or later on we're all just lost and found
Chorus and then with same chords:
Seems like I learned a lesson no regretting now that the cards have all been shown Seems like I learned a lesson no regretting now that it's time to move along.
That's it, I hope you like it and don't find it too confusing ;-)
