most of the tabs for this song seem to be pretty good , but i Am far too lazy to
retune my guitar too often ( or at all . . . ) , and i dont have a capo to use with the
ver 2 chords tab .
so this is rough transcription of that tab ( with a some help from the great guitar
pro tab ) into some barre chords for standard tuning . not a perfect tab by any
means , but great for strumming away with an acoustic guitar without much bother .
major credit must go to the author of chords ver 2 , i’ve pulled some stuff
straight from that and changed the chord names .
chords :
eadgbe
C – x35553
D# – x68886
A# – 688766
G – 355433
G# – 466544
F# – 244322
F – 133211
verses :
the verses all follow the same pattern . listen to the song to figure out the exact
timings , this is just a rough guide .
C D#
follow me into the desert
A# C
as thirsty as you are
C D#
crack a smile and cut your mouth
A# C
and drown in alcohol
and so on and so forth . now , the trick is to hit the low string/s ( i’m very lazy! )
twice each time you make a chord change . ’duh duh strum strum strum’ . except maybe
on that second C in each section , it just sounds like strumming to me . listen to
the song , you’ll figure it out!
pre chorus :
this is a little tricky . there are some odd timings here . having the song is
helpful , but i strongly recommend the guitar pro tab , its really good for figuring
out the timing of the last bit .
this from the chords ver 2 tab seems to work well enough :
D# C
oh no
D# C
there she goes
then the tricky bit :
D# C D# C cc D# C D# C cc D# C cc D# C cc G D# C
out in the sunshine the sun is mine the sun is mine
chorus :
this is a good chorus , with that great little descending tune after each line .
again , this is very rough timing for the chord changes , listen to song! its pretty
simple here .
C A# G# D# A# F# F
i shot my love today would you cry for me
C A# G# D# A# F# F
i lost my head again would you lie for me
C A# G# D# A# F# F
i left her in the sand just a burden in my hand
C A# G# D# A# F# F
i lost my head again would you cry for me
at the end of playing the A# slide down to the G# . then continue to play the G# as
per the song .
bridge :
taken pretty much from chords ver 2
play each chord 3 times
C D#
just a burden in my hand
C G#
just an anchor on my heart
C G# A# F# F
just a tumor in my head
last chorus – repeat the second part of the last line; thats the part from G#
onwards ( ’would you cry for me’ ) . then right at the end , it sounds like another C
D# C , like in the prechorus .
thats it! well , not really , but from there you can figure it out , and be as
accurate or as lazy as you please . hope this helps someone , i really just wanted
to play that great chorus riff without re – tuning and such .
