Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
ARTIST: Dax Riggs ALBUM: We Sing of Only Blood or Love SONG: Radiation Blues (current/acoustic/live) *Currently how Dax plays it now Tuning: Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb (half-step down)(Dax ALWAYS tunes half-step down) Tab by: William Matthew Breedlove -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***NOTE*** This is the version that Dax plays at his live shows with his band and when he is by himself. It seems like he may have permanently changed the way the song is now played from how it was originally played from the album version. Oddly enough this is very similar to the way he played it on the Blood or Love demo before the official studio album was released. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse] Maybe you're dead and ya just don't know, a shadow dressed only in sorrow Tomorrow might not exist and ya should've been dead. eb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-----------3--3-33--5--5-55-------------------3-3-3-33--5-5555--------------------------------------------| Db|--5--5-55--3--3-33--5--5-55--5--5-55--5-5-55--3-3-3-33--5-5555---5-5555-----------------------------------| Ab|--5--5-55--1--1-11--3--3-33--5--5-55--5-5-55--1-1-1-11--3-3333---5-5555-----------------------------------| Eb|--3--3-33--------------------3--3-33--3-3-33---------------------3-3333-----------------------------------| Maybe you're dead and ya just don't know, a shadow dressed only in sorrow Tomorrow might not exist and ya should've been dead. eb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-----------3--3-33--5--5-55-------------------3-3-3-33--5-5555--------------------------------------------| Db|--5--5-55--3--3-33--5--5-55--5--5-55--5-5-55--3-3-3-33--5-5555---5-5555-----------------------------------| Ab|--5--5-55--1--1-11--3--3-33--5--5-55--5-5-55--1-1-1-11--3-3333---5-5555-----------------------------------| Eb|--3--3-33--------------------3--3-33--3-3-33---------------------3-3333-----------------------------------| [Chorus] Should've been dead oh now ten times over, like ten times over. eb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|--3333-/-555555-\-3333------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|--3333-/-555555-\-3333--5555-\-333-/-5555-\-333-/-5555----------------------------------------------------| Ab|--1111-/-333333-\-1111--5555-\-333-/-5555-\-333-/-5555----------------------------------------------------| Eb|------------------------3333-\-111-/-3333-\-111-/-3333----------------------------------------------------| [Verse] Should've been dead like ten times over by the hand of your lover.
