So this is the tab/chords to Dad's Song by Set It Off from their album Cinematics I got these chords/notes from this cover tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNmQ9HVf7yE However, I would suggest in the intro instead of using your index and middle finger for the first part and switching everything around for the next, just use your middle and ring finger on the B and e strings and switch between your pinky and index on the G string. (If that makes any sense) But do what makes it easiest for you! The timing on some chords may be off in the written thing, but listen to the song and you'll figure it out pretty quick! Here goes.

Or the mendings, of human hearts? Oh, I believe, in both I'm certain Because these curtains, are state of the art If you'd occasionally, happen to spy on me You'd think I'm having one sided conversations But I hear him talking back You'd think, I may even lack Some sanity, but maybe, I can't let go Chorus 1: All single strums So I'll say A I finally wrote your song, at last E E2 Fmaj9 Sorry, that this one came out so sad, every tear I had D Dm A Was shed for the man that gave me a better sense Of life and meaning to motivate E E2 Fmaj9 There's no short cut to success, I'll wait For his, guiding hand D Dm My guardian Angel, until the very end e |------5---5---5---------5---5---5-----------------------------| B |----5---5---5---5-----5---5---5---5---------------------------| G |--6-----------------4-----------------------------------------| Repeat x2 D |--------------------------------------------------------------| A |--------------------------------------------------------------| E |--------------------------------------------------------------| Verse 2: A I see a cold seat on the couch E Where I remember that just four years ago around December Fmaj9 You sat me down and D Dm Held me next to you so close A How I long for things to be restored E To back when times weren't quite this hard Fmaj9 In the car that song you sang to me D Dm Never rang so loud before Fmaj9 D Oh, what'd I'd give for just another hug from you Fmaj9 D Dm You may be gone, but love will never die Chorus 2: *This is not single strums* So I'll say A I finally wrote your song, at last E E2 Fmaj9 Sorry, that this one came out so sad, every tear I had D Dm A Was shed for the man that gave me a better sense Of life and meaning to motivate E E2 Fmaj9 There's no short cut to success, I'll wait For his, guiding hand D Dm My guardian Angel, until the very end Bridge: *PM the starred chords* *F# *Em Tears can't run dry, when I start to cry *A A D When I hear people speak of how you'd be so proud of me F# And how I hope this song will reach your ears Em I battled all my darkest fears A I once was blind but now it's clear, D Dm Wherever I go I know that you'll be near Chorus 3: You can choose to just play the chords single strummed until "Was shed for the man..." or you can play it this way: You just play the A tab and the Fmaj9 tab twice A (x2) E E2 Fmaj9 (x2) e |--0-----0---------------0----0------0----0-------x----------------| B |--2-------2-------------0------0----0------0-----10-----10--------| G |--2----2-----(x2)-------1---1-------2---2--------11--------11-----| D |--2---------------------2-----------3------------11---11------(x2)| A |--0---------------------2-----------3------------9----------------| E |--x---------------------0-----------0------------x----------------| D Dm A Was shed for the man that gave me a better sense Of life and meaning to motivate E E2 Fmaj9 There's no short cut to success, I'll wait For his, guiding hand D Dm A My guardian Angel, until the very end E E2 Fmaj9 Oh, until the very end D Dm A My guardian angel, until the very end
