This is a great song, really simple but very cool. it is worth
noting though that you could play this song using the fills i have
shown below or you can use the chords i've laid out here to play it,
either way works, and both are fine, so whichever you prefer.
secondly, there are one or two quick chord changes that can be a
little tricky to get at first, but listen to the song and you should
be fine with it after a full play through or two.
also, i have placed the chords right above the exact syllables where
the chord changes occur, again, listen to the song to get it right.
..okay here it is
Intro fill
e----------------------| ...played 4 times B---------2--2-2-2-----| G-3-3-3-0----------3-0-| D----------------------| A----------------------| E----------------------|
Verse 1
[D#]A long stone a[G]nd [C]my day?s all serp[A]ent[G]ine
[D#]The tired tarnish [G]in [C]my chest rests sense [A]of S[G]ARS
[D#]And one dull dawn w[G]here t[C]hey hum that splits i[A]ts l[G]ength
[D#]Does my name s[G]tin[C]g your tongue? Now does i[A]t b[G]eg?
Refrain
[D#]oooo uh oooooh oo[G]ooo oohuhooo
[A]oooo uh oooooh oo[G]ooo oohuhooo..(play the refrain 4 times here)
repeat the intro fill 8 times
Verse 2..(chords are the same as verse 1)
Your thin frame has set my eyes to fray
On our dim stretch of this street, how it aches
For every grey and sad and taut to coil
And our frail eyes and there watch to finally talk
Repeat the refrain again
repeat the intro fill 8 times again
then play this second fill..twice
e-----1-0------1-0-1-0------| B----------------------2-0--| G-0-2------0-2--------------| D---------------------------| A---------------------------| ...X2 E---------------------------|
Verse 3..(same as verse 1 & 2)
One brash phrase cut crush these fragile days
My thoughts swirl in some shrill sad cannonade
And one such spur that caused my throat to creak
The one dull dawn that I?ve since sensed to repeat
Repeat the refrain again
repeat the intro fill 8 times again
then play this second fill..twice
e-----1-0------1-0-1-0------| B----------------------2-0--| G-0-2------0-2--------------| D---------------------------| A---------------------------| ...X2 to finish E---------------------------|
