Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Hey guys, this is my first tab, I think it’s fairly accurate, I just had some issues with the chords at the ends of lines, so their placement won't be accurate. Great song by Craig, studio version is capo 1 but I’ve seen him play it open live. Here’s a link to the song on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqU0O9Kqipw , or you can buy it on iTunes. Oh yeah, and the G in the verse sounds best played as a bar chord. Have fun! ~Dan
Intro: DG
Verse 1:
D Tell me, oh it was the chemistry, D That broke open the ribs of your chest, G And let the heart out, G To wander into such recklessness, D It's dangerous out there in the dark. D Meanwhile, back there in Ontario, D John Wilson had gone, G Made all the other, boyfriends, look so terrible G They're terrible, oh my.
Chorus:
AG This is no dress rehersal, no soundcheck, D This is a show. A If all you wanna do is practice, GBmA Then maybe, oh, you should let go, G Let go.
Verse 2:
D And all the countries lined all their words up, D End upon end, G Were embaressed when they discovered G They had murdered the simple perfect language like, D Kiss me, oh and I'll kiss you too. D Love me, and I will love you. G And be gentle with me, G I'm scared, I'm as scared, oh, as you.
Chorus:
AG This is no dress rehersal, no soundcheck, D This is a show. A If all you wanna do is practice, GBmA Then maybe, oh, you should let go, G Let go.
Bridge:
GDGDA This is the sound, of the heart unravelling. AGBmA BmAG This is the sound, oh, of the heart, of the heart unravelling
Verse 3:
D Love said call me, oh, I am free, D I am free not cheap. G It's important to me that you know, G There's a difference, oh, I know you know. D Love tried to hitchhike a ride from Thunder Bay, G Had greyhounded most of the ride, G And sat at the back of the bus by the cans where, D All the guys outa jail would sit and drink themselves to sleep, G And love held their hands, G And love held their hands, A The whole way home. G Through every little town, G That did not want them back. ADBmA Love leaned in, and love was just like that (?) AG Just like that
Chorus:
AG This is no dress rehersal, no soundcheck, D This is a show. A If all you wanna do is practice, GBmA Then maybe, oh, you should let go, G Let go.
Bridge:
