Queens Of The Stone Age - Like Clockwork

queens of the stone age – like clockwork

from the 2013 album ” . . . like clockwork”

this tab is a work in progress and will be updated and improved upon

D# tuning

you’ll need to listen to the song for the timings of the chords as it can be a little
tricky at first .

intro

F#m A E C#m

verse 1 :

F#m A
everyone it seems ,
E C#m
has somewhere to go .

F#m A
and the faster the world spins ,
E C#m
the shorter the lights will glow .

F#m A
and i’m swimming in the night .
E C#m
chasing down the moon .

F#m A
the deeper in the water
E C#m
the more i long for you

chorus 1 :

B G#m
and most of what you see my dear is purely for show
F#m D C#m
because not everything that goes around comes back around you know

B G#m
holding on too long is just a fear of letting go ,
F#m D C#m
because not everything that goes around comes back around you know

B
one thing that is clear , it’s all downhill from here .

( long instrumental bit that i haven’t gone through yet – feel free to figure it out and
post it in the comments )

verse 2 :

F#m A
the love light in your hand ,
E C#m
cleverly disguised .

F#m A
all the promises of stone ,
E C#m
crumble in the night .

chorus 2 :

B G#m
most of what you see my dear is worth letting go
F#m D C#m
because not everything that goes around comes back around you know
B G#m
holding on too long is just fear of what to show
F#m D C#m
because not everything that goes around comes back around you know
F#m D C#m
not everything that goes around comes back around you know

B C#m
one thing that is clear , it’s all downhill from here
end on C#m

that’s it , feel free to make suggestions
