Tabbed by: Vance Berisford
This song is played with a capo on the 3rd fret. All chords and tab shown are relative
to the capo.
These are the basic chords used in the song. There are two fills shown below that are
played basically every time the C and Gsus chords are played. Listen to the song if you
aren't sure of the rhythm. I watched a video of them playing the song and I'm pretty
confident the chords are spot on.
Chords:
C -32010
F -33210
G9 320010
Am -02210

C
Horses by my window go
F
When you're fast asleep far below
C G9
And I hope that you never know
F F9
That while you sleep I still find time for my old ghosts
C
Am C
See I was born just yesterday
F C
And I try to tell my feet to stay but they won't
G9
You know it's hard to find a friend
C
But I'm dumb and I might change my mind again
F G9
When it's slow I think I'd rather die
F F9
Then pass this off on some unsuspecting child
C
Angie came to me today
F
And said she was born to lead but not to say
C G9
That she knows there's no hope
F F9
Of making good on all those promises that she wrote
C
Am C
Surely there's been some mistake
F C
Some blind omission or a spot for change but no
G9
You know it's hard to find a friend
C
But I'm dumb and I might change my mind again
F G9
When I'm low I still look to ghosts
F F9
To keep a cool eye on the hand that holds my throat
Am C
See I was born just yesterday
F C
And I try to tell my feet to stay but they won't
