                             Puritan by Widowspeak
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Opening track from the band's 2011 self titled debut. Couldn't make out all the lyrics, 
but I tried to write down what I could. I didn't bother tabbing some of the lead solo 
stuff in the middle of the song, but these chords are correct.

Tuning: Standard

NOTE: E is the only chord in the song that is played open; the rest are all barre 
chords, as indicated.

Intro:

e|------------------------------------|

Four hour drive
   Strange world outside
   Shattered to see
   The sun go down



B11 (x22222@1)      A (x02220@1)e|--7---    --5----|
B|--7---    --5----|
G|--8---    --6----|
D|--9---    --7----|
A|--9---    --7----|
E|--7---    --5----|



B11 (x22222@1)      A (x02220@1)  Don't know ourselves

B11 (x22222@1)   A (x02220@1)  In this hollow town



Then play this:

E (open) followed by A?

E (022100@1)name="chord_022100@1">E E (022100@1)name="chord_022100@1">E E (022100@1)name="chord_022100@1">E E/ (022100@1)AA

If you have two guitarists you can continue play this progression over the top of 
the following verses (which just alternate between an E and A).

E (022100@1)   So charmed, the rich in power

A (x02220@1)   Puritans had all the power

E (022100@1)   Show them how their eyes were blue

A (x02220@1)   Tell me I'll stay with you

B11 (x22222@1)  A (x02220@1)   Always waiting

B11 (x22222@1)      A (x02220@1)   And you're fading, fading out



E (022100@1)   So I looked my Sunday best

A (x02220@1)   Still inside a devil's dress

E (022100@1)   Tall, dark ... (?)

A (x02220@1)   Like the time they stood (?)



B11   A
    I was looking

B11 (x22222@1)    A (x02220@1)   Puritans watching

B11 (x22222@1)    A (x02220@1)   I, I was watching, watching out

Resume E / A progression and end the song on the E chord.
