Nuclear Cowboys in an Age of Drift - Against Me!

Tabbed by: Tux D-Lux
Email: tuxluvv@drexel.edu

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

Most of the song is played on 3 chords:

    B (x2444x@1)         Gm (355333@1)       F#/Gb

e|---2---|  e|---3---|  e|---2---|
B|---4---|  B|---3---|  B|---2---|
G|---4---|  G|---3---|  G|---3---|
D|---4---|  D|---5---|  D|---4---|
A|---2---|  A|---5---|  A|---4---|
E|---x---|  E|---3---|  E|---2---|

During the middle and at the end, he switches to these higher chords:

     D (xx0232@1)         A (x02220@1)         E (022100@1)e|---5---|  e|---5---|  e|---7---|
B|---7---|  B|---5---|  B|---9---|
G|---7---|  G|---6---|  G|---9---|
D|---7---|  D|---7---|  D|---9---|
A|---5---|  A|---7---|  A|---7---|
E|---x---|  E|---5---|  E|---x---|

If the notes sound a little off or the movements are too hard, play them like power chords.
I'm pretty sure Tom does it that way anyway.

The strumming rhythms are pretty easy to pick up so I'll leave those outm but before he 
the entire chord, he taps the first note.

For example, the beginning would be:

   B (x2444x@1)           Gm (355333@1)           F#/Gb

e|------2---|  e|----3---|  e|----2---|
B|------4---|  B|----3---|  B|----2---|
G|------4---|  G|----3---|  G|----3---|
D|------4---|  D|----5---|  D|----4---|
A|-0-2--2---|  A|----5---|  A|----4---|
E|------x---|  E|-3--3---|  E|-2--2---|

  B (x2444x@1)         Gm (355333@1)                   F#This (244322@1)is the dumbest movie that I've ever seen

B (x2444x@1)              GmThe (355333@1)outcome is predictable

F# (244322@1)                                  BAnd (x2444x@1)the casting is so obvious and transparent

B (x2444x@1)                       Gm (355333@1)              F#And (244322@1)with out without your vote, well the election's going to happen

Gm (355333@1)                                       D (xx0232@1)            A (x02220@1)     EIt (022100@1)burns in your stomach to feel there's nothing you can do about it

D (xx0232@1)                     A (x02220@1)           ESo (022100@1)we laugh together in the same cynical way

D (xx0232@1)                     A (x02220@1)           EAnd (022100@1)we'll talk about it in the same beaten-down way

Gm (355333@1)              BAnd (x2444x@1)nothing changes

     B (x2444x@1)                       Gm (355333@1)            F#But (244322@1)with or without your vote, one of these candidates will take office

Gm (355333@1)                            BAnd (x2444x@1)everybody's praying to go numb
