4 Day Weekend - by The Bluetones

----------------

Tabbed by Frederic Maquet

This is quite a nice little song (especially the intro) from the

"Return to the Last Chance Saloon" album.. hope you like it...

The chorus sounds a bit like Hey Joe for a bit...

Intro: (clean guitar)

------

The fingerpicking here is approximate, fingerpick each chord twice,

in the same way...(except for the D Dm at the end, once each).

I don't care much for tradition,

G Dsus2

and I know you'll be leaving one day

A Am

I can't promise that I'll ever be the one,

G Dsus2 Dm

but if you'll love me till Monday.

A C

Let's Seran Wrap for the Weekend,

G D

See who comes up for air first

A C

We can go and break some windows

G D

And run and run till our chests are fit to burst

G D

Forget we ever said the words

Chorus: (distorted)

-------

Note: this is half of the ascending bass run of Hey Joe, the

Jimi Hendrix version!

A C G A C G

The future is deaaaad, that's what she saaaaaid,

A C G

It's all in your heaaad, you see, not mine, I'm fine

A C G

I'm alive, I've arrived

Verse 2: (same as verse 1)

--------

We thought we could make a difference,

and be remembered when the pyramids are dust,

But we had to learn that these bridges that we built,

(add a Dm here...)

can be as fragile as a loved one's trust

Play Chorus

-----------

Break:

------

E F

Here comes my everything,

This is my everything,

There comes my everything,

Dm G A (play verse chords)

Bye-bye love

Solo over verse chords: lots of sliding and general noise...

----

Play chorusx2

-------------

E (strum 4 times, slowing down...then pause)

Verse 3: (slow, clean guitar as in intro)

--------

A Am

Let's forget about the questions,

G Dsus2

we've been dragging out for years

A Am

Let's clear the smokey air between us,

G Dsus2 Dm (<-slow down and stop)

and say goodbye and shed no tears...

End...^Z
