Hey guys. I decided to tab this song out due to people asking me for chords/tabs 
and the fact that half the covers of this song sound weird, since the chords are off.

So here it is! Suitcases and Travelbags, by Gabe Bondoc

Tuning:Half-step down

legend:
x- mute
[x/x]- change-up between the two notes
(x)- completely optional

Also, fret positions are subjective. Personally, I play one fret higher, but it's up to you. 

Basic intro and verse:
'For goodness sake, we need a break she tells me
There's too much on her plate
And I'm not helping..'
eb|---x----x----x----x----|
Bb|---7----7----7----5----|
Gb|---7----6----6----5----|
Db|---5----5----7----7----|
Ab|---7----x----x----x----|
Eb|---x----5----5----5----|


Pre-chorus:
'I pray to goodness that you'll wanna come back, but until then, 
I guess you've gotta pack...'
eb|---x----(5)---|
Bb|---7h8---3----|
Gb|---7-----4----|
Db|---7h9---5----|
Ab|---7-----x----|
Eb|---x---[3/5]--|

-First chord is played twice, second and third are fingerpicked.-


Here's the chorus:
'Suitcases and travelbags
Are you ever coming back?
Just leave a couple of things for me'

eb|---x----x----------x----x----|
Bb|---7----5----7h8---5----3----|
Gb|---6----5----7-----6----4----|
Db|---7----7----7h9---7----5----|
Ab|---5----5----7-----x----x----|
Eb|---x----x----x-----7----5----|
-You start playing the chords for this on the word 'travel', 
more specifically, the words 'vel'-



Here's the bridge:
eb|--------x--------(5)---|
Bb|---b----5----7h8--3----|
Gb|---a----6----7----4----|
Db|---r----7----7h9--5----|
Ab|---7----x----7----x----|
Eb|--------5---------5----|

-Repeat that twice. And then in 'I'm not sure what this means, 
I'm not sure what separation brings' play it this way.-

eb|-----------------(5)---|
Bb|---b----b----5----3----|
Gb|---a----a----5----4----|
Db|---r----r----4----5----|
Ab|---7----5----5----x----|
Eb|----------------[3/5]--|

I haven't got down 'But if you're gonna go, do what it do, 
you can find me in the other room' exactly how it is, but the 
above chord progression there works well.



Listening to the song really helps. Also, Gabe has videos of him playing, 
so you should watch his fingers in those. 



Remember to have fun, and play your heart out. :)
