THEM KIDS - Sam Roberts ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Neno Tuning: Standard EADGBe Capo III (to transpose the notes just add 3 to each fret number, makes it easier to find higher notes) -This is based off of seeing him in concert, the album version and live videos. -The chords are given according to their shapes. (in brackets are the actual pitched chords you're playing if you want to play without a capo) FIGURE 1 - INTRO - Gtr. 1 e|-------0--------0--------0--------0-|-------0--------0------5------------| B|-----3--------3--------3--------3---|-----5--------5----7p5---7----5-----| G|-2h4------2h4------2h4------2h4-----|-4h6------4h6-------------------6p4-| D|------------------------------------|------------------------------------| x6.5 A|------------------------------------|------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------|------------------------------------| *An easier way to play the second measure: e|-------0--------0--2p0-5-2----0-----| B|-----5--------5-----------------2p0-| G|-4h6------4h6-----------------------| D|------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------| FIGURE 2 - VERSE/CHORUS No one feels more alone than the children of a dying breed...
