Steadier Footing Death Cab for Cutie
Song: Steadier Footing
Tabbed by: lackofcolour
This is based on Ben's solo acoustic performance. Unlike the album version, he strums
chords consistently throughout the song. I wasn't sure of some of the chord names, so I
made some of them up. I'm not 100% about if the B* and E2 chords are correct. Thanks for looking!
Tuning: Standard
Chords:
B G#m E C#m E* B* E2*
E---7-------4-------0-------4------7------6------7-------| B---7-------4-------0-------5------8------6------7-------| G---8-------4-------1-------6------9------8------9-------| D---9-------6-------2-------6------9------8------9-------| A---9-------6-------2-------5------7------6------7-------| E---7-------4-------0-------x------x------6------7-------|
Fill:
e---------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------| G---------------------------------------| D--------13---------13--------11-9------| A-----11---------11---------9-----------| E---9-------9-12-------12-7-------------|
You could also do the low notes as slides: 9s12 and 12s7. At the end of the line where
see the B, continue playing B into the next line.
[B] it's gotten l[G#m]ate and now I w[E]ant to be al[B]one
all of our fr[G#m]iends were here, they a[E]ll have gone h[B]ome
B* E2*
and here I sit on the front porch
c#m E* B
watching the drunks stumble forth into the night
you gave me a h[G#m]eart attack, I d[E]id not see you th[B]ere
I thought you had dis[G#m]sappeared so e[E]arly away from he[B]re
B* E2*
and this is the chance I never got
C#m E*
to make a move, but we just talk about
*Fill
the people we've met in the last five years
*Fill
and will we remember them in ten more
[B] I let y[G#m]ou bum a smoke, you[E] quit this winte[B]r past
G#m E B *Fill x2
I've tried twice before but like this, it just would not last
