                     1904 - Tallest Man on Earth
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: MountainDre
Tuning: EADGBd w/ CAPO IV

This tab is based off Macheeoo's which sounds great but is not 100% accurate.
 After watching how Matson played it (see link below), this is what I came up
 with. Tune high e string down to d and put capo on 4th fret. Enjoy!

Intro:  G (320003@1)    C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)       C (x32010@1)                (paused strumming...)
        G(G*)  C(C*)  Am(Am*)   D(D*)   x2         (...into normal strumming)

G (320003@1)             (G*)       C/GWell (3x555x@1)some may say it's not even funny
               Am (x02210@1)    (Am*)   D (xx0232@1) (D*)
And there you stand not even trying
     G (320003@1)          (G*)           C/G (3x555x@1)  
They say it is in line with the ages
           Am (x02210@1)    (Am*)      D (xx0232@1) (D*)
Sometimes noise is just your mind

C/G (3x555x@1)      G*           D (xx0232@1) (D*)
But the lesson is vague in the light now
        C/G (3x555x@1)          G*          D (xx0232@1) (D*)
Shows a deer with her mind on the moor 
         G (320003@1)                           C/GAnd (3x555x@1)now something with the sun is just different
           Am (x02210@1)               D (xx0232@1)   GSince (320003@1)they shook the earth in 1904

G(G*)  C(C*)  Am(Am*)   D(D*)

G (320003@1)                        C/G (3x555x@1)          (paused strumming)
And as I lowered down I hear it's a message
         Am (x02210@1)             (Am*)           D (xx0232@1) (D*)   (back to normal on Am)
And it's 1902 just telling people to get out
        G (320003@1)                          C/G (3x555x@1)   
And if there was just a way I could tell them
          Am (x02210@1)    (Am*)     D (xx0232@1) (D*)
It's been long but you are right

C/G (3x555x@1)       G*          D (xx0232@1) (D*)
And the singing is slow and so quiet
         C/G (3x555x@1)           G*           D (xx0232@1) (D*)
Like the sound when you sweep up the floor
          G (320003@1)                           C/GAnd (3x555x@1)now something with the dirt is just different
           Am (x02210@1)               D (xx0232@1)    GSince (320003@1)they shook the earth in 1904

G(G*)  C(C*)  Am(Am*)   D(D*)              x2    
                 
             Bm (x24432@1)                   C*        (C/G)  
And when the night is young but the bridge is up
          Em (022000@1)               D (xx0232@1) (D*)
Something passing by, I was sure
        Bm (x24432@1)             C*      (C/G)
And the only one you can tell it to 
              Em (022000@1)                D (xx0232@1) (D*)
Well it's the only one that ever knows

G (320003@1)                          C/G (3x555x@1)               (paused strumming)
And since more robbers made to go through my window
           Am (x02210@1)                  (Am*)                  D (xx0232@1)(D*)  (back to normal on Am)
Here is something so strange and something louder than before
            G (320003@1)           (G*)        C/G (3x555x@1)And you're living with no light or direction
           Am (x02210@1)      (Am*)     D (xx0232@1) (D*)
But damn precise and now you know

C/G (3x555x@1)       G*              D (xx0232@1) (D*)
When believing is hard but you go now
        C/G (3x555x@1)         G*                D (xx0232@1) (D*)
And you feel what you drag across the floor
          G (320003@1)                                C/G (3x555x@1)  
Because something with these drills are just different
            Am (x02210@1)              D (xx0232@1)    GSince (320003@1)they shook the earth in 1904

G(G*)  C(C*)  Am(Am*)   D(D*)              x2  
                 
             Bm (x24432@1)                   C*        (C/G)  
And when the night is young but the bridge is up
          Em (022000@1)               D (xx0232@1) (D*)
Something passing by, I was sure
        Bm (x24432@1)             C*      (C/G)
And the only one you can tell it to 
              Em (022000@1)                D (xx0232@1) (D*)
Well it's the only one that ever knows

G (320003@1)                         C/G (3x555x@1)                 (paused strumming)
And some will say it's not even healthy
            Am (x02210@1)               DBut (xx0232@1)body is young and mind is sure
       G (320003@1)                           C/GThat (3x555x@1)something is alright with your thinking
           Am (x02210@1)               D (xx0232@1)    GSince (320003@1)they shook the earth in 1904
