Tabbed by: nethead36 The majority of tabs on this site for "Holy Grail" are just plain wrong and the people that created them need a guitar lesson. I have used my ear and other tabs to create the ultimate tab for probably the best song ever written by an australian. Intro I------------------------------------------------------------------ I------------------------------------------------------------------ I-----2-4-2-1------------------------------------------------------ I---2--------4-2-2-2-2-4------------------------------------------- I-2---------------------------------------------------------------- I------------------------------------------------------------------ Played on piano but sounds OK on guitar. Verse Chords: NO CAPO, NO ANYTHING, JUST PLAY! I-0--5--4--7-------------------------------------------------------- I-0--5--5--7-------------------------------------------------------- I-1--6--6--8-------------------------------------------------------- I-2--7--6--9-------------------------------------------------------- I-2--7--4--9-------------------------------------------------------- I-0--5-----7-------------------------------------------------------- Mute if you want, or arpeggiate. Hit the first few times really loud and ring them out. Verse 1 Woke up this morning from the strangest dream I was in the biggest army the world had ever seen we were marching as one on the road to the holy grail BREAK Started out seeking fortune and glory it's a short song but its one hell of a story when you spend your lifetime trying to get your hands on the holy grail. NOTE: for the verses that begin with "All the locals scattered..." and ...."we were full of beans...", this is the progression: I-5--4--7-------------------------------------------------------- I-5--5--7-------------------------------------------------------- I-6--6--8-------------------------------------------------------- I-7--6--9-------------------------------------------------------- I-5--4--9-------------------------------------------------------- I-5-----7-------------------------------------------------------- All the locals scattered, they were hiding in the snow We were so far from home so how were we to know there'd be nothin' left to plunder, when we stumbled on the holy grail. We were full of beans, but we were dying like flies and those big black birds, they were circling in the sky but you now what they say, yeah, nobody deserves to die. NOTE: this next bit is quieter, and has more trumpet. I-4--7--4--4------------------------------------------------------- I-5--7--5--4------------------------------------------------------- I-6--8--6--5------------------------------------------------------- I-6--9--6--6------------------------------------------------------- I-4--9--4--6------------------------------------------------------- I----7-----4------------------------------------------------------- Oh, I...., I've been searchin' for an easy way to escape to the cold light of day I've been high and I've been low, but I ain't got nowhere else to go........ X2 INSTRUMENTAL I've followed orders god knows where I've been But I woke up alone, all my wounds where clean. I'm still here, I'm still a fool for the holy grail. Repeat verse type 1 to fade.........
