Vital Signs Frank Turner
Vital signs - Frank Tuner
I tabbed it out not knowing the high e was tuned to an F#, the tab's still right.
Except the chords have different names now.
Now, I'm not so sure what happens at the bridge..
Tuning:
EADGBf#
The main riff is based around a B chord I think
f#|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| B |--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| G |--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| D |--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-| A |--2-2-0-2-2-2-2-0-2-| E |--------------------|
The high e and b strings are left open for the F#, Abm and A, this is done by playing
route of the chord with your thumb.
[F#] [Abm] [A]
f#|--0----0----0---| B |--0----0----0---| G |--3----4----6---| D |--4----6----7---| A |--4----6----7---| E |--2----4----5---|
Intro: B Riff
Verse 1:
B Riff
This country is my canvas
I leave paint trails as I go.
I'm painting a [E]picture
F# B Riff
That you can only see from outer space.
B Riff
My bedroom is your sofa,
I take my breakfast on the train.
E F# Abm B Riff
I'm tired and I'm dirty, and not a second goes to waste.
Chorus:
I'll be dead but never [A]dying, and I say that with a [E]smile
It's just my way of [Abm]trying to be aliiv[F#]e.
Verse 3:
B Riff
Well I'll never get to grey hair
And I'll never be in the black,
E F# B Riff
But I can tell stories that most can hardly dream.
B Riff
Dreaming is a luxury,
Like stopping-staring and beauty sleep.
I'll stop when I'm [E]finished,
F# B Riff Abm
And sleep is for the weak.
Chorus:
I'll be dead but never [A]dying, and I say that with a [E]smile
It's just my way of [Abm]trying to be aliiv[F#]e.
Heaven's in the h[A]alf light, and that's where I [E]reside,
I got a w[Abm]hiskey and a wry smile
I check my vital[B] signs.
Bridge:
And when I'm [F#]gone,
The world revolves, and life goes o[A]n,
So mark no grave,
[A]Forget[Abm] my n[F#]ame.[A]
A Abm F#(Let Ring)
If the song remains
And everybody's got a drink and a smile,
Well, that's just fine by me yea[F#]h.
Chorus:
Heaven's in the h[A]alf-light, and that's where I [E]reside,
I got a w[Abm]hiskey and a wry smile
I check my vital[F#] signs.
I'll be dead but never [A]dying, and I say that with a [E]smile
Abm B Riff
It's just my way of trying to be aliive.
Outro: B Riff (Play till death) Says Frank.
