Awesome artist but not well known. Liked this song and couldn't find a tab so I made one. This is the Audiotree session version. He does a no capo version as well and its the exact same chords. Capo 6 The Bass line follows this pattern and you just pick the chords overtop Ame|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| (x02210@1)B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----0-------------------0-------------------0--------3-----0------------0-| E|-------------0--------3----------0---------3---------------------0-----3---| The bass changes to follow the C chord. Anything in brackets is optional but it is in the song.

Listen to the song to get it down. Intro: Am COh, (x32010@1)I see a girl thats blue like the sea Amwhen (x02210@1)i go to sleep you know that she sees me, too Cyeah, (x32010@1)just standing around like the popular kids Amhoping (x02210@1)saint peter will let us in, too F"well," (133211@1)he says " if you value your life stay off the drugs Cif (x32010@1)you value the drugs stay off the map. Gif (320003@1)you value maps you better travel, son. F (133211@1) C(single strum) Amif (x02210@1)you dont want to travel then you better run" ooh, yeah, mmm, oh Cyeah, (x32010@1)well I knew a king in his purple throne Amoh, (x02210@1)and he had some trouble so he's all alone now Cwell (x32010@1)I used to bring him little presents from time to time Amand (x02210@1)hed sit me in his castle and hed pick my mind Fhe (133211@1)said, "if you value your heart, oh stay on the road. Cif (x32010@1)you value the road, oh stay on the top . Gif (320003@1)you value the top, oh youre gonna suffer son. F (133211@1) C(single strum) Amand (x02210@1)if you dont want to suffer, then you better run" (Full strums) Cwell (x32010@1)i see my boss in his practical suit Amill (x02210@1)toss him in the cellar wont give him no food (Back to picking) Cwhen (x32010@1)anybody tries to tell him what to do Amhe (x02210@1)holds his breath until he turns blue Fhe (133211@1)says, "if you value your job, stay out of crime. Cif (x32010@1)you value the crime, stay out of doors. Gif (320003@1)you value them doors you better lock em son. F (133211@1) Gand (320003@1)if you dont want to lock em, you better buy a gun" This part speeds up. Its the same Chords but just at a different tempo. Theres a few riffs here. Theres no real pattern I can distinguish. He just plays around with the high B and E strings on the third fret with his pinkie. He also throws in some bends on the B string. The new bass riff comes to this.

Fhe (133211@1)said, "if you value your limbs, stay in the game. Cif (x32010@1)you value the game, stay in the style. Gif (320003@1)you value that style, youre a sinkin son. Fif (133211@1)you dont want to sink then you better run."
