Dave Hause - Before (Acoustic Version by hobs)
This is my first try, but I love this song and I couldn't find any good version of it.
I hope it's right but it sounds more than pleasing to me :D
Although I know that Dave plays it with PowerChords, but I can't figure them out, sry!
In the verses I change from Bm to B* (lift your middle finger), just to vary the sound as he does.
(Start with slow and single StringPicking)
Intro: Bm E G A
Bm
There's a place I'd go
E
Before it all broke down
G
Where we carried on and carried the fire
A
But managed not to burn the sea or the town
Bm B*
Before we sharpened up our teeth
E
Before the crash and the shame
G
When I could still hear your voice
A
When your tongue still knew my name
D
But you left me there
Bm
With just a memory
C
How do I feel your love
G A
Adrift on this plastic plague of a sea?
Bm A G B* - D
Is this all of the grace you'll allow?
(small riff - if anybody can tab it I'll gladly put it here)
(Chord Strumming)
Bm B*
I would kneel down low
E
Under stained glass light
G
To taste your body to taste your blood
A
Then count the minutes till we'd reunite
Bm B*
Before the gulf turned black
E
Before this town got too close to the flames
G
When I would wait at the door like a dog
A
For you to wrap your tongue 'round my name
D
But you left me here
Bm B*
With just a memory
C
How do I feel your love
G A
Adrift on this plastic plague of a sea
D
But you left me here
Bm B*
With just a memory
C
How do I feel your love
G A
Adrift on this plastic sickening sea
Bm A G
Is this all of the grace you allow?
Bm A G D
I begged you before and I'm begging you now
Bm A G
Will the slaughter convince you to stay?
Bm A G D A
The cross wouldn't hold you but this time you won't get away
G A D
F#m G D A
F# G D A
D
I'll leave you here
F#m
Just a memory
G D
You will not feel, feel my love
A
Adrift on this plastic sickening sea
D
I'll leave you here
Bm
Just a memory
C
You will not feel, feel my love
G A
Adrift on this plastic sickening sea
Bm A G
This is all of the grace I'll allow
E A G D
I begged you before, I'm not begging you now
G A G
The slaughter convinced me to stay
E G D A
But this time, this time you won't get away
You won't get away
(Single StringPicking)
