------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firstborn - J.Tillman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Sander Van Hoof Email: vanhoof.sander@telenet.be Tillman writes simple yet complex songs in terms of rhythm and hammer-on's so I advice you to listen to the song to get both right. When playing the Am he sometimes pulls of to 002030 and hammers back to 002230. He plays the G/C for one beat. This might not be 75% accurate but I've been playing it with the track/youtube recordings etc and I think it sounds great . . . . so cut me some slack. check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlZmymHSalw for video Cadd9 : 023030 D/F: 003030 Gadd9 : 300003 G/C : 302013 Dm : 000231 Am : 002210 C : 032010 C2 : x20010 Intro ---------- Cadd9 D/F C G/A Cadd9 (x32030@1) D/F (100232@1) C (x32010@1) Gadd9 (135211@3) G/C (2431xx@7)Gadd9 (135211@3) Whoohooohooohooooooo whooohooohooooooo whooooohoooohooooooo Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) (hammer) Gadd9G/C Gadd9 (135211@3) whooooooooo Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) (hammer) Gadd9G/C Gadd9 (135211@3) whooooooooo Main Song ---------- Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) (hammer) If you have to break Am (x02210@1) Gadd9 (135211@3) G/CGadd9 Save it for a friend Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) (hammer) If you have to speak Am (x02210@1) Gadd9 (135211@3) G/CGadd9 Tell it like a condemned man Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) (hammer) If you have to rule Am (x02210@1) Gadd9 (135211@3) G/CGadd9 Use an open hand Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) (hammer) If you have to die Am (x02210@1) Gadd9 (135211@3) G/CGadd9 Kill the desires that you have Cadd9 (x32030@1) D/F (100232@1) C (x32010@1) Gadd9 (135211@3) G/C (2431xx@7) Gadd9 (135211@3) Whoohooohooohooooooo whooohooohooooooo whooooohoooohooooooo x2 Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) (hammer) If you have to keep Am (x02210@1) Gadd9 (135211@3) G/C (2431xx@7)Gadd9Keep (135211@3)your mind at ease Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) (hammer) If you have to sell Am (x02210@1) Gadd9 (135211@3) G/C (2431xx@7)Gadd9Break (135211@3)it 'til it's free Dm (xx0231@1) Am (x02210@1) (hammer) Gadd9 (135211@3) G/C (2431xx@7) Gadd9whooooooooohoohooooohooooooooo (135211@3) x2 Cadd9 (x32030@1) D/F (100232@1) C (x32010@1) Gadd9 (135211@3) G/C (2431xx@7) Gadd9 (135211@3) Whoohooohooohooooooo whooohooohooooooo whooooohoooohooooooo x2 (Alternate strumming . . . . listen to the song) C (x32010@1) C2 (x32030@1) AmPass (x02210@1)over me C (x32010@1) C2 (x32030@1) AmPass (x02210@1)over me C (x32010@1) C2 (x32030@1) AmPass (x02210@1)over me C2 (x32030@1) Am (x02210@1) Gadd9While (135211@3)the first-born are stricken down
