• Song:

    Six Feet Under The Stars Acoustic

  • Artist:

    All Time Low

Okay first off, this is my version of the song, and it's got some really cool voicings of
chords, and it sounds TONS  better then a good amount of Acoustic tabs on here.

The tuning. as strange as it is, is Open Dsus4.
Sounds crazy but really isn't.

Starting on Low E String:
DADGAD

simple tune your Low E DOWN to D, Tune Your B DOWN to A, and your High E DOWN to D.

Now you capo the 5th fret if you want it to be in the same key as the recording,
but when I play it, I don't use one.
 
Now look at the chord fingering carefully because they are unusual, and won't work in
standard tuning.


chords used

C (007700)
G (077900) or (777900) *the second one gives you a Fuller more Bass-y sound*
F (055700) or (555700) *See Above*
Cmaj7 (007704)
Fmaj7 (055000) or (555000) *See Above)

The Maj7 chords can just be played as the Regular chord, if it sounds better to you.


(listen for the strumming on the first C and G)

C
Time to lay claim to the evidence
G
Fingerprints sell me out
F
But our footprints washed away

From the docks downtown

It's been getting late for days
                              C
And I feel myself deserving of a little time off
        G
We can kick it, hang for hours
                             F
And just mouth off about the world

And how we know it's going straight to hell
        Cmaj7
Pass me another bottle, honey

The Jaeger's so sweet
           G
But if it keeps you around, then I'm down

           C
Meet me on Thames Street

I'll take you out
           G
Though I'm hardly worth your time
       F                 Fmaj7
In the cold, you look so fierce
                G
But I'm warming up

Because the tension's like a fire
          C
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
          G
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
F                          Fmaj7
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
            G
But there's room for two
                   C          Cmaj7
Six feet under the stars

C
I should have known better than to call you out
G
(On a night like this, a night like this)
C
If not for you, I know I'd tear this place to the ground
G
(But I'm all right like this, all right like this)
          C
I'm gonna roll the dice
          Cmaj7              G
Before you sober up and get gone

I'm always in over my head


C
Thames Street

I'll take you out
           G
Though I'm hardly worth your time
       F                 Fmaj7
In the cold, you look so fierce
                G
But I'm warming up

Because the tension's like a fire
          C
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
          G
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
F                          Fmaj7
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
            G
But there's room for two
                   C
Six feet under the stars

Time to lay claim to the evidence
G
Fingerprints sell me out
         F
But our footprints washed away
    G
I'm guilty, but I'm safe for one more day
Cmaj7
Overdressed and underage
       G
Do you really need see an ID?
                        F
This is embarrassing as hell
                          G
But I can cover for it so well
                              C
When we're six feet under the stars

(If you are playing this song by yourself, don't say "stars", and skip straight to
"thames stree")

C
Thames Street

I'll take you out
           G
Though I'm hardly worth your time
       F                 Fmaj7
In the cold, you look so fierce
                G
But I'm warming up

Because the tension's like a fire
          C
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
          G
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
F                          Fmaj7
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
            G
But there's room for two
                   C
