Again, like the person before me, I looked at the other tabs for this song and am offering some perfectionist improvements, as this song can sound amazing and professional if you add in some other parts. I worked from the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg0UsO5SFb8 Standard tuning, no capo. Is in 6/4 time. Chords used: e---0---0-----2-----2----3----0---0----0---0---0---3---1---2---| b---1---1-----1-----4----4----0---3----1---1---1---3---0---3---| g---2---2-----2-----2----2----0---0----0---0---0---0---0---4---| d---2---2-----2-----4----4----2---0----2---2---2---0---0---4---| a---0---0-----0-----2----2----2---2----3---2---0---2---2---2---| E---x---3-----2-----2----2----0---0----0---0---0---3---3---2---| Am Am/G Am6/F# B7 B7+5 Em Em7/D C C/B C/A G G7 Bm Intro - strums dead notes, listen to the song for the right rhythm Verse 1: b-----1----------- Am Am/G Am6/F# g---2---2--0-------- The most familiar room B7 B7+5 Em Em7/D Every implement was leading to you C C/B C/A G And your homely sense of dissaray G7 b----0-------- Never once the same g--2---2--0--- C C/B Am Always rearranged Am7/G Am6/F# But things would never change B7 B7+5 Em Em7/D In the scene between the window frame C C/B C/A G Where the jackals preyed on every soul G7 (strum once, let ring) C(strum once, let ring) Where they tied you to a pole G And stripped you of your clothes Chorus: (G) C Bm I was a dreamer Em Am Bm Staring out windows G C Bm Out onto the main street Em Am Bm Cause that's where the dream goes Verse 2: b-----1----------- Am Am/G Am6/F# g---2---2--0-------- And each time they found fresh meat to chew B7 B7+5 Em Em7/D I would turn away and return to you C C/B C/A G You would offer me your unmade bed G7 b----0-------- Feed me till I'm fed g--2---2--0--- C C/B Am And read me till I'm read Am/G Am6/F# But when the morning came B7 B7+5 Em Em7/D You would catch me at the window again C C/B C/A G In an eyes wide open sleeping state G7(strum once, let ring) C (strum once, let ring) Staring into space G With no look upon my face Chorus: (G) C Bm I was a dreamer Em Am Bm Staring out windows G C Bm Out onto the main street Em Am Bm Cause that's where the dream goes Bridge: C C/B And when I got older Am Am/G When I grew bolder F G (Bass notes A then B on beats 5 and 6) Out onto the streets I flew Am Am/B Released from your shackles C (bass notes D then E) I danced with the Jackals F Em And learned a new way to move Verse 3: Am (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes) So before you take this song as truth B7 (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes) You should wonder what I'm taking from you C (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes) How I benefit from you being here G7(let ring) C Lending me your ears G While I'm selling you my fears (G) C Bm I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears) Em Am Bm Staring out windows (I'm selling you my fears) G C Bm Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears) Em Am Bm Cause that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you...) G C Bm I was a dreamer Em Am Bm Staring out windows G C Bm Out onto the main street Em Am Bm (let ring) Cause that's where the dream goes I hope thats helpful and not too complicated - it's quite hard to describe some of it, so listen to the song and perhaps you can work out what i meant!!
