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!
Awesome new song off their latest effort 'Stories Don't End'. The song is finger-picked, and before you ask NO, i'm quite sorry, I don't feel like tabbing out the picking pattern; It would be a lengthy process to which I'd like to avoid for the time being.
Notes: This is how I'd play it, Taylor goes higher on the fret board, but the chords are the same so enjoy!
I know there are a few chords mixed in that sound jazzy/blusy-er because of several instances of 7th chords and such... if you find anything missing feel free to share in the comments!
E Grab your cigarettes AEE/C#E/D#E/C# And follow me out of the living room EAF#F#/D#F#/EF# (walk up B And I'll get drunk enough to tell you how I feel string to F#) E About the men you loved G#C#mBA And how they all seemed to get the best of you EB Because If I don't say these things you know DE Someone will
EAEE/C#E/D#E/C# If that look in your eyes, as I slowly go through the evidence EAF#F#/D#F#/EF# Gives any insight into the void you can't get filled EG#C#mBA Then your heart it's bigger than any I've come up against EB And if nobody has loved you enough I know now DE Someone will
:::GUITAR SOLO::: Play verse chords underneath
EAEE/C#E/D#E/C# So I hope my voice can stay as clear as I need it to EAF#F#/D#F#/EF# But that my words take on the nature of a drill EG#C#mBA To be set against the frozen sea inside of you EB Because if I don't tell you I'm falling in love then DE Someone will
BE Someone will - and maybe someday you'll be listening BC#m But I could be just as you need me up until EG# The kind of guy you say you're looking for C#mBA Sounds like the kind of guy I want to be EB But if you just want someone to hold you tonight then DE Someone will
(No guitar for this next verse but you can play if performing alone)
It's the nights like this in the quieter parts of Los Angeles
When you think you see the outline of the beast up in the hills
Well you might be sitting beside the only person you could face it with
