This Is a Fire Door Never Leave Open The Weakerthans
I previously tabbed only intro to this song, and now I'm going to tab the whole thing.
atleast all the chords and a few little licks. :P
CAPO ON 5TH FRET
ALL CHORDS ARE RELATIVE TO CAPO, ALL LICKS ARE NOT.
____________________________________________________________________________
INTRO
Guitar 1
C F (Play each chord 16 times, play the whole process 3 times)
Guitar 2
G C (Play each chord 2 times, quick strokes. This is somewhat the main melody)
Guitar 1 OR 2, doesn't matter which.
e-|-----------------| B-|-8-10---8-10-----| G-|-----9------9-10-| D-|-----------------| A-|-----------------| E-|-----------------|
Both guitars end intro on F5 (x 8 10 10 x x)
VERSE - Only bass plays in the verse, until...
I breathe out smoke against the window,
Trace the letters in your nam[G5]e.
Our letters sound the sam[F5]e;
Full of all our changing[G5] that isn't change at a[F5]ll.
All straight lines circle sometime.
POST-VERSE (Part 1) - Repeat the intro.
VERSE - Once again, only bass plays until...
Somewhere sympathy is more than just a way of leaving.
Somewhere someone says 'I'm sorry.'
Someone's making plans to st[G5]ay."
So tell me it's ok[F5]ay.
Tell me anything, o[G5]r show me there's a p[F5]ull,
Unassailable, that will l[G5]ead you there,
From the dark, alone, to benev[F5]olence that you've never known,
Or you kne[C5]w when you were f[B5]our and can't reme[A5]mber.
Where a sm[G5]all knife tears out those sloppy seams,
And the sil[F5]ence knows what you silence means,
And your met[C5]aphors, as mi[B5]xed as you can make t[A5]hem,
Are linked, like days, together.
POST-VERSE (Part 1)
POST-VERSE (Part 2) - Play this after Part 1.
Both guitars play A5 and let it ring.
Guitar 1
e-|-----------------------------------------| B-|-13-10-13-10-13-10-13-10--8-6-9-9h10p9-7-| G-|-----------------------------------------| D-|-----------------------------------------| A-|-----------------------------------------| E-|-----------------------------------------|
(Play the whole lick twice)
Guitar 2
C5 A5 (Play each chord 16 times, play the whole process twice)
VERSE
[G5]I still hear trains at nig[F5]ht, when the wind is right
[G5]I remember everythi[F5]ng, lick
And thread this string that will nev[G5]er mend you
Or tailor more than a me[F5]mory of a kitchen floor,
Or the fi[C5]re-door that w[B5]e kept propping o[A5]pen.
And I l[G5]ove this place; the enormous sky,
And the f[F5]aces, hands that I'm haunted by,
So w[C5]hy ca[B5]n't I forgive these bu[A5]ildings,
These frameworks labeled "Home"?
POST-VERSE (Only play part 2)
OUTRO - Only bass plays.
