Tabbed by: Patrick Gamache
Standard Tuning
Capo 4
I’m just on a tabbing spree today, so here you go. I wanted to find the chords to
this, couldn’t, and so I just did them myself. It’s incredibly easy.
There are two guitars, but I can’t figure out what the second one is doing during
the chorus. The guitar that you hear all by itself at the beginning is doing this:
e|----------------|
B|----------------|
G|4-6---4-6---4-6-|
D|----------------|
A|----------------|
E|----------------| and just do this until your fingers fall off, I guess.
Now, here’s the song.
Chords:
Am |x02210|
C |332010|
Fmaj7 |x33210|
Am C
I had a way then
Fmaj7
losing it all on my own
Am C
I had a heart then
Fmaj7
but the queen has been overthrown
Am C
And I'm not sleeping now
Fmaj7
the dark is too hard to beat
Am C Fmaj7
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me
Am C
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
Fmaj7
You shine It when I'm alone
Am C
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
Fmaj7
And dreaming when they're gone
Am
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
C
Calling, calling, calling home
Am C
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
Fmaj7
You shine it when I'm alone
And then that’s it for the rest of the song. Enjoy!
