Bury Me

Finch
Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

~ Let ring

Although this is a really good Finch song, some fans may not be familiar

with this track because it has not appeared on any of their albums yet. But I

have heard many versions of this song and this tab sounds almost perfect:

*It only plays this last note on the B string in some versions of this song

And that's it. The only thing missing are the chords in the chorus (which are

hard to distinguish) and the chords in the outro. But both sets of chords have

basically been typed somewhere in this tab, as the chords do not differ vastly in

this song.

Lyrics:

I'm sorry, but red's my color now

guess you got to me somehow

this mistake has broken me she said

she said

Just shut your mouth and take the blame

and paint your face with the shame

i know because i know

Take these eyes and bury me

so that I can't see your face

and when you die, I wont cry

I've Been here before, flesh is warm

but I've grown cold

State your claim into my veins

and scrape my face in your hands

and bend me to the floor

Take these eyes and bury me

so that I can't see your face

and when you die, I can't cry

I can't

justify, your eyes, your eyes

justify, your eyes, your eyes

justify, your eyes, your eyes

justify, your eyes, your eyes

Take these eyes and bury me

so that I can't see your face

and when you die I can't cry

I can't cry

I can't cry

I can't cry

I can't cry

I'm not particularly keen on being informed about the missing chords but if

there are corrections (which I doubt dramatically (and for being so confident

I'm probably going to get a bad rating now)) then please send them in to

rupertthepinkelephant@hotmail.com

Thanks. $hab
