I checked before writing this tab to see if there was another one up, there wasn't at
time. This version has all the verses and a couple of slight differences to the other one
I'll put it up anyway. Have a look at the notes at the bottom for some of the 
Tabbed from the version included in the 'One Of My Kind' Documentary.

CAPO 3

Intro: F

            F
I can't live in this city

But I was born here
          Dm
And I know all these people

Where they went to high school
Bb
Where they got their angle

Here they waited tables
C
Still call me brother

Like Cain and Abel


     F
There, see all those old men

How'd they get so swollen?
    Dm
I got so many broke friends

Who say I owe them
        Bbm
From when we were children

How did it happen?
C
Where is it going?

                           Dm
Is that your question, man?
                   Bbm              Dm
Where does all your frustration lie?
           C                               Dm
Why are you pulling out your hair at night?
            Bbm
Just try and have a good time
F   C   Dm   A Bbm
All the rest aside
                           F
You're still one of my kind

F A Dm C

             F
I can't think in this city

But I remember
      Dm
I know every story that it ever told me
Bb
Well, I got the blueprint

To create my own myth
C
That's what made it tragic

Like a summer snowdrift


      F
Yeah, going to call my first love

Meet her at the new club
Dm
Tell her all that I've done

Finally be forgiven
Bb
And get good and drunk
Bbm
Like it feels you're young
C
There are things against us

                              Dm
But I will fight tooth and nail
             Bbm               Dm
Stand in the sickening sunshine
      C                     Dm
After staying out all night
          Bbm
And maybe it's the good life
F   C   Dm   A Bbm
All the rest aside
C   Dm   A Bbm
The rest aside
C   Dm   A Bbm
The rest aside
                           F
You're still one of my kind

F A Dm C


            F
I can't live in this city

But I'll probably die here
Dm
Maybe that's how you feel

Like a poisoned cornfield
Bb
Like a best friend backstabbed

An abandoned train track
C
We're living straight-lined
                       F
Are you one of my kind?

F A Dm C

F

Notes:

Each time after the lyrics '..one of my kind' Conor plays F A Dm C (as shown above). For
chord he plays a little variation the general variation for each chord is tabbed out
as F' A' Dm' and C' but as usual a little improvisation around these when listening to 
song will show you what sounds right.

F'  = 133200
A'  = x02200
Dm' = x00320
C'  = x32000

For the 3rd chord in each verse Conor seems to alternate between A# (odd verses) and A#m
verses) for verse 4 i've tabbed A# then A#m (seeing as this is what he appears to play
the video) I think this might be a mistake and he meant A#m but started on A# then 
after realising. Anyway it's a minor detail and seeing as it's am unreleased song i
we can't tell, but just a thought.

Enjoy!
