INTRO:
Cadd9
e:---------0-----------|
B:------------3--------|
G:------0--------0-----|
D:---2-----------------|
A:3--------------------|
E:------------------0--|
This intro is played four times. I've found that if you run an acoustic
guitar through an amp and use some mild distortion, it recreates the sound
on the album pretty well.
VERSE: The verse is basically just a cycle of Em and D (--0230). There
is a two-note plucking pattern before the strumming cycle, though, that
goes like this:
Em D
e:------0--0--|
B:------0--3--|
G:------0--2--|
D:---2--2--0--|
A:------------|
E:0-----------|
Each of these cycles is one bar [in 4/4 time] and the pick-up is played in
every cycle. I know this might sound confusing, but listen to the song,
and you can hear the two-note plucking. (Note that the D is not a true
D...I just don't know the real name for that chord). Also, when strumming
the D, try to use upstrokes as much as possible because it seems to sound
better that way.
CHORUS:
Pretty simple:
C Em C Em
A truant finds home. A wish to hold on.
C Em A Asus4 A A* A
But there's a trapdoor in the sun. Immortality.
(that little interlude between "sun" and "immortality" is a
little confusing. Here's what the tab looks like):
C C C Em A A Asus4 A A* A
