----------------------------------- May Your Hearts Stay Strong By Cloud Cult On the album Feel Good Ghosts Tabbed By Duate (famine26@hotmail.com) Everything relative to Capo on Fret 3 EADGBe (Em7 = 022030) (Am = x02210) (C = x32010) (B = x24442) (Em = 022000) A dash (-) means play the current chord again, and I've tried to place the dashes on the beat where they belong. Intro Chords Em7 Am C B Em Em7 Em he met her at a night club, she couldn't keep the beat Am - she wore her grandma's prom dress, raccoon slippers on her feet C B he took a shot of something strong, to make him feel less weak Em Em and so the story goes-- Em Em Em (no chord) Em7 Em there's something to be said about trading stories of when you're eight years old Am - he had his first stitches when he bit an ice cream bowl C B she had her first kiss in a swimming hole Em Em so the story goes-- C Am Em Em and the days grew long, and the wine was overflowing C Am and she knew she was in love Em 'cause nobody ever hugged her like that Em hugged her like that Em hugged her like that Em hugged her like that (Em for A few bars) Em7 Em they moved into a school bus just 'cause it seemed like fun Am she'd say, "i like the way you touch me, it makes me feel like i have no skeleton" C B and so the story goes-- Em7 Em and i've seen photographs and videotapes of that decent home that loving place Am C B and it's about time two minds combine, in such a fine, fine way Em Em Em C Am and may your lives be long Em Em and may your wishes all be simple C Am and may your hearts stay strong (bridge/sad violin part) Em B G Am C B Em - tucked into bed, you see the ghost of your teddy bear B - check under the covers just to make sure he's still sleeping there G - turn wedding gowns to angel clothes for the baby to wear Am - turn wedding gowns to angel clothes for the baby to wear C - she rides him like the state fair,they make love like two solar flares B - caring like they really care that they're gonna make it Em C Am B it's the day in the place where she first said i love you Em C Am B spread his ashes with the breath of the last kiss that she blew C they decorate when featherless C they celebrate through hungriness B it's about time two minds combined B in such a fine, fine way (rest) Em7 Am C B Em C Am and may your lives be long Em Em and may your wishes all be simple C Am Em Em and may your hearts stay strong C Am and may your lives be long Em Em and may your wishes all be simple C Am Em and may your hearts stay strong End on Em ************* Chorded while listening to the track over and over, so I got it as close as I could without individually tabbing out all the piano riffs. There may be errors, but I was unhappy with the current selection of chords for this song, so I set out to chord it myself, for an acoustic guitar. Please send me a message if you have corrections or even if you just want to say you liked or hated it. Or even if you were ambivalent to it! I love hearing from you guys.
