• Song:

    I Dont Need To Know

  • Artist:

    City And Colour

I was looking through the site and I couldn't find a tab for this song so I decided to 
to learn it by ear! (This is the first tab I've done so I apologise if it's hard to understand)

Tuning: Standard EADGBe (No capo needed)

(First Verse)

Key:
x = Mute or Don't play that string.

The chords your going to need here are just:

C - x32010
Em - 022000
Am - x02210

It basically goes:

C (x32010@1)     Em (022000@1)    AmI (x02210@1)don't need to know,

C (x32010@1)            Em (022000@1)            AmWhy (x02210@1)the oceans blue or how the flowers grow.

C (x32010@1)     Em (022000@1)     AmI (x02210@1)don't need to live,

C (x32010@1)           Em (022000@1)              Am (x02210@1)    CWaiting (x32010@1)on someone to forgive me for my sins.

Em (022000@1)          AmLike (x02210@1)my father before me,

C (x32010@1)        Em (022000@1)        AmI'm (x02210@1)a working man, a working man.

C (x32010@1)     Em (022000@1)    AmBut (x02210@1)I don't need to believe,

C (x32010@1)                  Em (022000@1)    AmIn (x02210@1)the something that won't save my sanity.

NOTE: When you hear a slight variation whilst Dallas is strumming the Am chord it is this:

|-0-0-0-0-|       (On the 4th repetition): |-0-0-0-0-|
|-1-1-1-1-|                                |-1-1-1-1-|
|-2-2-2-2-|                                |-2-2-2-0-|
|-2-2-0-2-| x4                             |-2-2-0-2-| (Basically just merge it into the 
C)
|-0-0-0-0-|                                |-0-0-0-3-|
|-x-x-x-x-|                                |-x-x-x-x-|

Key:
x = Mute or Don't play that string.

(Chorus)

The chorus is incredibly easy all you need is:

G - 320033
Am - x02210

NOTE: After the last Am you play during the verse you basically strum x00000 twice 
the first word in the chorus (No) then play the G chord. (If you can reach it you can play an 
or you can just go straight into the G if you want)

But the chorus is just:

GNo (320003@1)I don't need I don't need to know, no,

AmI (x02210@1)don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh.

GI (320003@1)don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

AmI (x02210@1)don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

How easy is that!

(Verse 2)

The second verse is the same as the the first pretty much the same 3 chords in the same pattern:

C - x32010
Em - 022000
Am -  x02210

It goes:

C (x32010@1)     Em (022000@1)    AmI (x02210@1)don't want to live,

C (x32010@1)         Em (022000@1)              AmIn (x02210@1)a world where faces change from day to day.

C (x32010@1)     Em (022000@1)            AmAnd (x02210@1)I don't want my life to be,

C (x32010@1)        Em (022000@1)      Am (x02210@1)     CSo (x32010@1)full of doubt and misery.

Em (022000@1)           AmThe (x02210@1)years now pass without a trace.

C (x32010@1)                Em (022000@1)        AmIt's (x02210@1)something that I'm learning to embrace.

C (x32010@1)      Em (022000@1)             AmHow (x02210@1)most bad nights are spent awake.

C (x32010@1)         Em (022000@1)          AmThinking (x02210@1)about how I don't want to live that way.

(Chorus)

GNo (320003@1)I don't want I don't want to live, no,

AmI (x02210@1)don't want to li e, e, ea, e, ive.

GI (320003@1)don't want to li e, e, e, ea, e, ive,

AmI (x02210@1)don't want to li e, e, e, ea, ive.

(Verse 3)

For the most part the same as the other verses except for the last line:

C (x32010@1)     Em (022000@1)               AmI (x02210@1)don't know but I've been told,

C (x32010@1)                Em (022000@1)            AmThat (x02210@1)if you don't believe, the devil owns your soul.

C (x32010@1)         Em (022000@1)           AmWell (x02210@1)if this is the truth, then to hell I'll go.

C (x32010@1)     Em (022000@1)    C'Cos (x32010@1)I don't need to know.

I hope this was understandable, and I hope that is a word!
