i wanted to learn this song to play acoustically , but the tabs already on here didn’t
seem right . so i made this one , it’s sort of an amalgamation of different people’s
rendition of the song , with the song itself , put in a way i think sounds nice when
played on an acoustic .
the intro i tabbed out isn’t completely accurate as to how many strums of each chord to
do , so just try it out and do whatever sounds good to yourself .
in the verse , i’ll put A ’ * ’ next to the Am chords , which you play briefly for a strum
or two .
intro : ( C – D x3 )
E – – – – – – 0 – 00 – 00 – – – – 2 – 2 – 00 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 0 – 00 – 00 – – 00 – 0 – – – 2 – – 23 – 20 – – 2 – – |
B – – – – – – 1 – 11 – 11 – – – – 3 – 3 – 33 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 1 – 11 – 11 – – 00 – 0 – – – 3 – – 33 – 33 – – 3 – – |
G – – – – – – 0 – 00 – 00 – – – – 2 – 2 – 22 – – – – 3 – 33 – 33 – – 33 – 3 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
this is where lyrics start
the boy with the . . . .
E – – – – – – 7 – 77 – 77 – 8 – 8 – – – – – 5 – 55 – 5 – 55 – 55 – – – – – |
B – – – – – – 8 – 88 – 88 – 8 – 8 – – – – – 7 – 77 – 7 – 77 – 77 – – – – – |
G – – – – – – 7 – 77 – 77 – 7 – 7 – – – – – 7 – 77 – 7 – 77 – 77 – – – – – |
D – – – – – – 0 – 00 – 00 – 0 – 0 – – – – – 0 – 00 – 0 – 00 – 00 – – – – – |
A – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
( as above ) Am
the boy with the thorn in his side
C D
behind the hatred there lies
G Am * D
a murderous desire
Am C D
foooor loooove
D G Am * D
how can they look into my eyes
Am C D
and still they don’t believe me
G Am * D
how can they hear me say those words
Am C D
still they don’t believe me
G Am * D
and if they don’t believe me now
Am C D
will they ever believe me?
G Am * D
and if they don’t believe me now
Am C
will they ever believe me?
the intro is then played again and the above chords are repeated for the rest of the song .
