Kunci Gitar We Are Scientists - Rules Dont Stop Acoustic

there are only a couple of tabs on here , so i thought i would make one for the acoustic
version of this song that is correct .

the live amplified version has completely different guitar parts , so this is just the
chords they use for the acoustic version .

standard tuning .

chords used : Am , C , F , Dm , G .

keith plays the F like this : ( x03210 )

the strumming pattern is ( down , up , pause , up , up , down , up ) it helps to watch a youtube
video of the band playing this acoustically to get the jist .

keith and chris play it with 2 guitars , keith plays the chords i have tabbed , chris
plays the power chord version .

verse 1 :

Am C
don’t be alarmed , it’s not the end of the world
F Dm
if we’re breaking the rules it’s fine
F Dm Am
i disregard this kind of problem all the time

Am C
it’s not as if it’s gonna kill anyone
F Dm
if there’s no victim then there’s no crime
F Dm Am G
just draw another if you think we’ve crossed the line

chorus :

F
rules don’t stop me , forget about it
C
rules don’t stop me , we’ll get around it
F
rules don’t stop me , forget about it
G Dm C Dm
don’t stop me , don’t stop me

verse 2 :

for this first half of this verse , strum each chord and then quickly mute all the
strings ( whilst still strumming ) . it’s what keith plays and it sounds great .

Am C
although it may seem unconventional sometimes
F Dm
indiscretion is worth a try
F Dm Am
if you just play along i promise we’ll be fine

back to normal strumming pattern

Am C
so leave your hang – ups back at the door
F Dm
when you and i are down on the floor
F Dm
Am G
well you’ll know what to do about it ( you know what to do about it )

chorus :

F
rules don’t stop me , forget about it
C
rules don’t stop me , we’ll get around it
F
rules don’t stop me , forget about it
G Dm C Dm
don’t stop me , don’t stop me

Am x 4

bridge :

F G
it’s not as bad as they say
Am
if this is such a mistake
C
why does it make you so damn happy?
F G
this is no time to behave
Am
let’s both get carried away
C ( mute after the C )
if there’s a price to be paid
it won’t stop me

chorus :

F
rules don’t stop me , forget about it
C
rules don’t stop me , we’ll get around it
F
rules don’t stop me , forget about it
G Dm C Dm
don’t stop me , don’t stop me

G Dm C G
don’t stop me , don’t stop me
Dm C Dm G Am
they don’t stop me , they don’t stop me
