i was looking through the site and i couldn’t find a tab for this song so i decided to
to learn it by ear! ( this is the first tab i’ve done so i apologise if it’s hard to understand )
tuning : standard eadgbe ( no capo needed )
( first verse )
key :
x = mute or don’t play that string .
the chords your going to need here are just :
C – x32010
Em – 022000
Am – x02210
it basically goes :
C Em Am
i don’t need to know ,
C Em Am
why the oceans blue or how the flowers grow .
C Em Am
i don’t need to live ,
C Em Am C
waiting on someone to forgive me for my sins .
Em Am
like my father before me ,
C Em Am
i’m a working man , a working man .
C Em Am
but i don’t need to believe ,
C Em Am
in the something that won’t save my sanity .
note : when you hear a slight variation whilst dallas is strumming the Am chord it is this :
| – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – | ( on the 4th repetition ) : | – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – |
| – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – | | – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – |
| – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – | | – 2 – 2 – 2 – 0 – |
| – 2 – 2 – 0 – 2 – | x4 | – 2 – 2 – 0 – 2 – | ( basically just merge it into the
C )
| – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – | | – 0 – 0 – 0 – 3 – |
| – x – x – x – x – | | – x – x – x – x – |
key :
x = mute or don’t play that string .
( chorus )
the chorus is incredibly easy all you need is :
G – 320033
Am – x02210
note : after the last Am you play during the verse you basically strum x00000 twice
the first word in the chorus ( no ) then play the G chord . ( if you can reach it you can play an
or you can just go straight into the G if you want )
but the chorus is just :
G
no i don’t need i don’t need to know , no ,
Am
i don’t need to know oh , oh , oh , oh .
G
i don’t need to know oh , oh , oh , oh , oh , oh ,
Am
i don’t need to know oh , oh , oh , oh , oh .
how easy is that!
( verse 2 )
the second verse is the same as the the first pretty much the same 3 chords in the same pattern :
C – x32010
Em – 022000
Am – x02210
it goes :
C Em Am
i don’t want to live ,
C Em Am
in a world where faces change from day to day .
C Em Am
and i don’t want my life to be ,
C Em Am C
so full of doubt and misery .
Em Am
the years now pass without a trace .
C Em Am
it’s something that i’m learning to embrace .
C Em Am
how most bad nights are spent awake .
C Em Am
thinking about how i don’t want to live that way .
( chorus )
G
no i don’t want i don’t want to live , no ,
Am
i don’t want to li E , E , ea , E , ive .
G
i don’t want to li E , E , E , ea , E , ive ,
Am
i don’t want to li E , E , E , ea , ive .
( verse 3 )
for the most part the same as the other verses except for the last line :
C Em Am
i don’t know but i’ve been told ,
C Em Am
that if you don’t believe , the devil owns your soul .
C Em Am
well if this is the truth , then to hell i’ll go .
C Em C
’cos i don’t need to know .
i hope this was understandable , and i hope that is a word!
