1904 The Tallest Man on Earth
I haven't seen any tabs at all for this song so this is the first to register, and
hopefully someone will see this and fine tune it, but just for some basic idea, this is in
Standard Tuning with a Capo on the 5th fret. In the verses, everytime you go from a C to
an Am, do a bassline walk down from the bass note of C to the open bass note of Am
Intro: G, C, Am, D
Verse:
[G]Well some may say it's not even fu[C]nny
And there you st[Am]and not even tr[D]ying
[G]They say it is in line with the a[C]ges
Sometimes n[Am]oise is just your m[D]ind
But the le[C]sson is vague and the lig[D]htning
Shows a de[Am]er with her mind on the m[D]oor
And now so[G]mething with the sun is just d[C]ifferent
Since they [Am]shook the earth in 190[D]4[G]
And as I [G]lower down I hear it's a mes[C]sage
(On this particular walkdown, strum hard to emphasize the change)
And it's 1[Am]902 just telling people to get [D]out
And if it t[G]here was just a way I could t[C]ell them
It's been[Am] long, but you were r[D]ight
And the s[C]inging is low and s[D]o quiet
Like the s[Am]ound when you sweep off the [D]floor
And now s[G]omething with the dirt is just d[C]ifferent
Since they [Am]shook the earth in 19[D]04[G]
Bridge:
And when the [Em]night is young
But the br[Am]idge is up
Something p[C]assing by, I was [G]sure
And the [E]only one you can t[Am]ell it to
Well it's the [C]only one that'll ever [D]know
Verse:
And since more r[G]obbers made to go through my [C]window
Here is something so [Am]strange
And something louder than [D]before
And you're l[G]iving with no light or dire[C]ction
But dam[Am]n precise and now you [D]know
When the [C]leaving is hard, but you go [D]now
And you [Am]feel what you drag across the f[D]loor
Because [G]something with these trails are just [C]different
Since they [Am]shook the earth in 1[D]904[G]
Bridge:
And when the [Em]night is young
But the b[Am]ridge is up
Something [C]passing by, I was s[G]ure
And the [Em]only one you will te[Am]ll it to
Well it's the [C]only one who'll ever [D]know
Verse:
And s[G]ome would say it's not even [C]healthy
But body is [Am]young and mind is s[D]ure
That s[G]omething is so right with your t[C]hinking
'Cause they s[Am]hook the earth in [D]1904[G]
