i was surprised to see nobody had tabbed one of the greatest songs off the greatest of a great band! this tab lies somewhere between chords and tabs, as its goal is a balance accuracy, ease of play, and sounding sweet on a single guitar even though the full arrangement has like two and a piano and some bells and god knows what else. INTRO x 2 C Em e||----0-------0---------0-------0---------------------|| B||-------------------------1--------------------------|| G||-020-020-020-020---020-020-020-020------------------|| D||2-2---2---2--222--2-2---2---2--222------------------|| A||3-3---3---3--333--2-2---2---2--222------------------|| E||------------------0-0---0---0--000------------------|| notes: the timing of the main riff (G 020 e0 G020) is accurate, but feel free to strum rest of the chords out (EA and EAD) as you please. The Em carries into the beginning of verse. VERSE 1 x2 C G Bbm7 F e||--------x-------------------------------------------|| B||1-------0-------------------------------------------|| G||0-------0-------7-------2---------------------------|| D||x-------0-------7-------x---------------------------|| A||3-------x-------8-------3---------------------------|| E||--------3-------6-------1---------------------------|| C G This city has lost a certain holds inside Bbm7 F It feels so worn being chained here to this life C G I've been around and seen one hundred scenes Bbm7 Where those who dare to tread the wheel F One day find out what's behind that hill notes: A# is perfectly fine too, i just have a weakness for major 7ths. INTRO x 1 (make sure you start the intro right after you start singing "hill"--listen to song for the timing) VERSE 2 C G Spend half a life deciding what went wrong Bbm7 F Trying to find out what took you so long C G Until you feel it's all part of some crazy scheme Bbm7 It conjures in your memories 'til F You discover what's behind that CHORUS x3 (only sing the first time) Aadd9 Em F G e||3-------3-------3-------0 or 3---------------------|| B||0-------0-------1-------0--------------------------|| G||2-------0-------2-------0 or 2---------------------|| D||2-------2-------x-------0--------------------------|| A||0-------2-------3-------x--------------------------|| E||0-------0-------1-------1--------------------------|| Aadd9 Em F G hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill notes: the alternate G versions all sound pretty good, so choose whatever you think is best. INTRO x 1 VERSE 3 C G You picked me up and we went for a drive Bbm7 F Into the stained glass cavern of the night C G You turn to say, your eyes fixed on the rows Bbm7 Take me from this place I know F The ruined landscapes that I once called CHORUS x4 (only sing the first time) Aadd9 Em F G hoooooooooooooooooome BRIDGE x3 D F e||--0-----0----3-0---3-0------------------------------|| B||---31----31--1--31-1--31----------------------------|| G||2-----2------2-----2--------------------------------|| D||0-----0------x-----x--------------------------------|| A||0-----0------3-----3--------------------------------|| E||-------------1-----1--------------------------------|| notes: on the third repetition, play the F part four times instead of two. people who with picking the F portion might want to try simply playing D (x00210) F(13x213) INTRO x2 notes: this time, only repeat the C half of the intro four times, and play a bit slower. VERSE 4 for the last verse, you can change the chords to: C G Bbm7 Fm7 e||3-------3-------8-------3---------------------------|| B||1-------0-------6-------1---------------------------|| G||0-------0-------x-------x---------------------------|| D||x-------0-------7-------2---------------------------|| A||3-------x-------8-------3---------------------------|| E||--------3-------6-------1---------------------------|| C G I don't know what in this world is trying to save me Bbm7 Fm7 But I can feel its hand and it's guiding me in sign C From lives I've tried to lead G To the one that I received Bbm7 Each painted sign along the road Fm7 Will melt away in source tags and in notes: start out a bit slower, as in the preceding intro, but gradually speed up until reach normal tempo near the end of the verse. CHORUS Aadd9 Em F G coooooooooooooooooodes Aadd9 Em F G coooooooooooooooooodes Aadd9 Em F G coooooooooooooooooodes Aadd9 Em F G D (x00210) if you have any suggestions or corrections, let me know in the comments or via PM. thanks for reading!
