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

Song

This song is played in DROPPED D, thats about it. have fun

this is a great, great song...

intro/verse:

e|-----------------------|           e|-------------------|
B|-----------------------|           B|-------------------|
G|--7--7-----------------|  play 7x  G|---------feedback--|  play once
D|--7--7--0-0-0\2\3-5-3--|   then..  D|--0-0-2------------|
A|--0--5--0-0-0\2\3-5-3--|           A|--0-0-2------------|
D|--0--0--0-0-0\2\3-5-3--|           D|--0-0-2------------|

then play the verse again 7x

after the 7x, play this little fill..

e|-------------|
B|-------------|
G|--------5-7--| play once
D|--0-0-2-3-5--|
A|--0-0-2------|
D|--0-0-2------|

then play the verse again 7x

when you play the chorus, the D chord on the album sounds like what is

tabbed out below, but Scott plays the D chord live like this: {0-5-7-7-x-x}.

try them both out to see which is right.

chorus:

e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------|
A|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------|
D|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------|
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|--8--8--8--8--8--10-10-10-10-10--------------------|
A|--8--8--8--8--8--10-10-10-10-10--------------------|
D|--8--8--8--8--8--10-10-10-10-10--------------------|

then when it goes: "and maybe i'd be something you could stand"

e|----------------2----------------------------------|
B|----------------3----------------------------------|
G|----------------2----------------------------------|
D|--5--------3-3--0----------------------------------|
A|--5--------3-3--0----------------------------------|
D|--5--------3-3--0----------------------------------|

when you're done with this part, start all over again and play everything

the same way. When you come to the Bridge, all it is, is:

e|---------2--|
B|---------3--|
G|---------2--| repeat a few times,
D|--3-3-3--0--| Scott varies it too at some point (only with a few extra
A|--3-3-3--0--| {3-3-3-x-x-x} chords).
D|--3-3-3--0--|

thats pretty much it,

its a good song
