Streetlight Manifesto - Somewhere In The Between Acoustic

streetlight manifesto
somewhere in the between ( acoustic ap show version )

gotta say i really love the way tom plays this song

standard tuning ( eadgbe )

C E7 Am Dm Am G
C E7 Am G F C G C G

C E7
you were gone
Am
when we found you
Dm Am G
you were practically surrounded , you were trapped
C E7 Am G F
but the opposition stalled , the blood ran cold
C G C G
when they saw the look of love in your eye

C E7
maybe the times we had they weren’t that bad
Am
and everything else was part of the plan
Dm C G
and we sang “i don’t know where we go”
C E7 A G F
from the alpha , the omega , the beginning and the end
C G C G
and we all just idolize the dead

C E7 Am
so you were born and that was a good day
Dm C G
and someday you’ll die and that is a shame
C E7 Am G F
yeah but somewhere in the between you’ll live a life of which we all dream
C G C G
and nothing and no – one will ever take that away

C E7 Am Dm Am G
C E7 Am F C G C G

C
you had a love
C/B Am7 G
and that love had you
F G# C G
and nothing mattered you were fine
C C/B Am7 G
some will complain they’re just bitter what a shame
F G# C
they know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all

C E7
may – be the times we had they weren’t that bad
Am
and everything else was part of the plan
Dm Am G
and we sang “i don’t know where we go”
C E7 Am G F
from the anthem the slogan the summary of events
C G C G
and we all just idealize the past

C E7 Am
so you were born and that was a good day
Dm Am G
and someday you will die and that is a shame
C E7 Am G F
yeah but somewhere in the between you’ll live a life of which we all dream
C G C
and nothing and no – one will ever take that away

C E7 Am Dm Am G
C E7 Am F C G C G

C E7 Am G F
yeah someday soon my friend this life will come to an end
C G C G C
but we can’t just get in line again

notes :
* the whole song should be played at a slow – medium tempo – – take your time and enjoy the song .
* the introduction is highly stylized . tom puts lots of little fills between chord
sequences . try some!
* tom plays a lick during the intro and several times in the song between chords Am
G and F that looks something like this :

Am G F
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B | – – – – – – – – – – 1 – |
G | – – – 2 – – 0 – – 2 – – |
D | – – 2 – – 2 – – 3 – – – |
A | – 0 – – – – – – – – – – |
E | – – – – 3 – – 1 – – – – |

basically it’s just a walk down from the a to the F . not super difficult . kind of quick .
maybe finger pick it?
* the second verse is played as follows :

C / / C/B / / Am7 / / G / / F / / G# / / C / / G
| – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
| – 1 – – – – – 1 – – – – – – – 1 – – – – – – – – – – – – – 1 – – – – – 4 – – – – – – 5 – – – – – 3 – |
| – 0 – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – 2 – – – – – 5 – – – – – – 5 – – – – – 4 – |
| – 2 – – – – – 0 – – – – – – ( 2 ) – – – – – 0 – – – – – – 3 – – – – – 6 – – – – – – 5 – – – – – 5 – |
| – 3 – – – – – 2 – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – 2 – – – – – – 3 – – – – – 6 – – – – – – 3 – – – – – 5 – |
| – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – 1 – – – – – 4 – – – – – – 3 – – – – – 3 – |

protip : add some panache . strum these chords with confidence and rhythm .
* the end is played kind of like this :

C G C ( rit . )
| – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
| – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 1 – |
| – – – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – 0 – – |
| – – – 2 – – – – – 0 – – – – 2 – – – |
| – 3 – – – – – – 2 – – – 3 – – – – – |
| – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – – – – – |

again just kind of a little walk uphill . not fast . take yr time . or change the end to
suit yr own playing skill/style!
