okay first off , this is my version of the song , and it’s got some really cool voicings of
chords , and it sounds tons better then a good amount of acoustic tabs on here .
the tuning . as strange as it is , is open Dsus4 .
sounds crazy but really isn’t .
starting on low E string :
dadgad
simple tune your low E down to D , tune your B down to A , and your high E down to D .
now you capo the 5th fret if you want it to be in the same key as the recording ,
but when i play it , i don’t use one .
now look at the chord fingering carefully because they are unusual , and won’t work in
standard tuning .
chords used
C ( 007700 )
G ( 077900 ) or ( 777900 ) * the second one gives you a fuller more bass – y sound *
F ( 055700 ) or ( 555700 ) * see above *
Cmaj7 ( 007704 )
Fmaj7 ( 055000 ) or ( 555000 ) * see above )
the maj7 chords can just be played as the regular chord , if it sounds better to you .
( listen for the strumming on the first C and G )
C
time to lay claim to the evidence
G
fingerprints sell me out
F
but our footprints washed away
from the docks downtown
it’s been getting late for days
C
and i feel myself deserving of a little time off
G
we can kick it , hang for hours
F
and just mouth off about the world
and how we know it’s going straight to hell
Cmaj7
pass me another bottle , honey
the jaeger’s so sweet
G
but if it keeps you around , then i’m down
C
meet me on thames street
i’ll take you out
G
though i’m hardly worth your time
F Fmaj7
in the cold , you look so fierce
G
but i’m warming up
because the tension’s like a fire
C
we’ll hit south broadway in a matter of minutes
G
and like a bad movie , i’ll drop a line
F Fmaj7
fall in the grave i’ve been digging myself
G
but there’s room for two
C Cmaj7
six feet under the stars
C
i should have known better than to call you out
G
( on a night like this , a night like this )
C
if not for you , i know i’d tear this place to the ground
G
( but i’m all right like this , all right like this )
C
i’m gonna roll the dice
Cmaj7 G
before you sober up and get gone
i’m always in over my head
C
thames street
i’ll take you out
G
though i’m hardly worth your time
F Fmaj7
in the cold , you look so fierce
G
but i’m warming up
because the tension’s like a fire

F Fmaj7

G
but there’s room for two
C
six feet under the stars
time to lay claim to the evidence
G
fingerprints sell me out
F
but our footprints washed away
G
i’m guilty , but i’m safe for one more day
Cmaj7
overdressed and underage
G
do you really need see an id?
F
this is embarrassing as hell
G
but i can cover for it so well
C
when we’re six feet under the stars
( if you are playing this song by yourself , don’t say “stars” , and skip straight to
“thames stree” )
C
thames street
i’ll take you out
G
though i’m hardly worth your time
F Fmaj7
in the cold , you look so fierce
