This song is from their bonus disc "Building A Hurricane",which contains
recordings of the beginning stages of their songs from Hello Hurricane.
I've tabbed the guitar, and mandolin. I added the melody to the second verse,
'Cause they did not use this bridge in the finished product.

It now enters the second recording.

Mandolin 1 plays this riff through the whole song, until verse 2, at
which it stops.

 ~CHORUS~

The guitar, and mandolin 2 just play the chords for the chorus.
NOTE:The lyrics are a little different on the first line.

Gsus2         Cadd9       Em
Hello hurricane you're enough
Gsus2         Cadd9       D       
Hello hurricane you can't silence my love
         Cadd9     Gsus2           D
I've got doors and windows boarded up
         Cadd9    Gsus2         D
All your dead end fury is not enough
                     Em7  Cadd9           Gsus2
You can't silence my love whoa o o whoa o o

 ~VERSE 2~

The drums and mandolin stop and only the acoustic guitar is playing.
I've tabbed this part where on the first row, are the chords, on the second,
are the lyrics, and on the third is the melody.

     Em7     Gsus2    E7
My regretful bags are packed 
G--F#-E---D---B----A---\G#--
     Am7           D            G              C
with memories that fall between nightmares and dreams
-G#---A---B----C----F#--E---D----B-----A----G----E---
      Em7     Gsus2     E7
Oh my word is life just birth
G--F#--E---D---B----A----\G#-
    Am7         D           G            C
and death oh my soul are we trapped in between
-G#---A---B--C---F#---E--D-----B----A---G--E--

(C)                  Em7  Cadd9           Gsus2
You can't silence my love whoa o o whoa o o     It fades out.

Here are a couple of "NOTES" from the parts that I couldn't fit them in.
You only palm mute the guitar, not the mandolin.
They're not 1's and 0's, or 1's and 2's, they are either 10's or 12's.

I hope this tab is helpful, and you know, I've decided that I don't
mind if you rate my tab, so feel free.
