This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
ARTIST: Funeral For A Friend
TITLE: You Want Romance?
TABBER: Luke Charman (emoluke {AT} gmail.com)
ALBUM: Escape Artists Never Die (CD Single)
GENRE: Emocore
YEAR: 2004
Well.. it's been a good six/seven months now since You Want Romance? was first heard on
the EAND CD Single.. and nobody yet has had a go at tabbing the thing. It's an incredibly
hard song to tab in my opinion, the layering of guitars is done in such a way to make it
almost impossible to tell who's playing what. Anyway, I've done my best.. I'm very proud,
I've not been playing guitar all that long (about eighteen months), and I've had no
lessons, and this is what I've figured out. Most of it sounds 90% right to me, there are
errors, if anyone wants to correct them go ahead, just please say you got your source
from me :)
Enjoy!

Lyrics:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The water's colder at the edge,
And they dived for hours.
Past sundown,
Until the body was wasted.
Did they conspire to this?
Did they conspire to..?
Thirty three and a half
Until the end.
As we sway from ear to ear.
And your heels look so beautiful
Against the carpet, against the carpet.
So graceful, yet so insecure.
This ghost will haunt you,
And I will judge you fair.
