Bloodline

Tab by Brian Ramirez

Standard tuning

This is my first tab but Im 90% sure this is correct. 
The only questionable parts are the intro, the second chord in the bridge and 
maybe a part in the chorus.

Here are the weird chords I use
Bb/F#m   C#/Bm           Ab/A
-2----------2-------------X
-2----------X-------------2
-2----------4-------------2
-4----------4-------------2
-4----------4-------------X 
-4----------X-------------4

       D (xx0232@1)                A (x02220@1)        F#m (244222@1)                  BmAnd (x24432@1)if fools could only prosper, I'm afraid what they might say
       D (xx0232@1)              A (x02220@1)            Em (022000@1)           A (x02220@1)     
From a podium built on generations bleeding what they make

And here they come,
                 Bm (x24432@1)watch them all pass us by
         D (xx0232@1)                             ATell (x02220@1)me how could you refuse to look one in the eye?
     Em (022000@1)                   G (320003@1)          
Two sheets to the wind all over again

            D (xx0232@1)         ADown (x02220@1)the bloodline

Bridge:
 F#m (244222@1)    (Bb/F#m)         Bm (x24432@1)    Yes, it feels scary         to be ordinary
 D (xx0232@1)                                      A (x02220@1)    In a world that don't know your name
 F#m (244222@1)          (Bb/F#m)         C#/Bm?
        It would not be weird            if I just disappeared
 D (xx0232@1)                       A (x02220@1)    Blowing my back out,       trying to hold my weight
