Frank Turner - I Am Disappeared
*******
So, I spent a lot of spent spent seeing this youtube video of Frank Turner playing I Am
Disappeared solo ('v=Kv-dZET2OOs) and came up with I believe to be a 100% correct tag,
exactly like he plays on said video.
Ver3 (which I used as a basis) was already very well done (cheers for that, unknown
tabber!), but checking the video I noticed some small discrepancies, which I thought I'd fix
in a new tab. I also thought it would be nice to have the lyrics, which I included and
tried to adjust to the chords being played. I believe they are mostly spot-on :)
I hope you enjoy, the song is great and sounds friggin perfect when played
this way!

Verse (same as Intro)
*******
Gsus4 I keep having Am7dreams
Of Fdd9pioneers and Gsus4pirate ships and Bob DyAm7lan
Of Fdd9people wrapped up Gsus4tight in the things that will Am7kill them
Of Fdd9being trapped in a Gsus4lift plunging straight to the Am7bottom
Of Fdd9open seas and Gsus4ways of life we've forgotten
*******
Verse 2

Right after the "we've forgotten" bit, start using full chords, ie. the thumb should now
only block the highest string (except in the G's, obviously):

Am7 I keep having Gsus4dreams Gsus4
Am7 Amy worked in a bar in Fdd9Exeter I went back to her Gsus4house and I slept beAm7side her
She woke up screaming in the middle of the Fdd9night terriGsus4fied of her own inAm7sides
Dreams of pirate ships and Patty Fdd9Hearst breakin Gsus4through a life over-reAm7hearsed
She can't remember which came Fdd9first The house, the Gsus4home, or the terrible Am7thirst
She keeps having Gsus4dreams G

Fmaj7 And on the Gsus4worst days G
When it feels like Clife weighs ten thousand Fmaj7tons Fdd9
Fmaj7 Gsus4 G C
Fmaj7 SFdd9he's got her cowboy boots and car keys on the bedstand so she can always run
Fmaj7 (getting stronger)
She can get up, shower, and in half an hour she'll be gone
*******
Verse 3 (same as Verse 2)
*******
I keep having dreams of things I need to do
And waking up but not following through
But it feels like I haven't slept at all
When I wake to a silence and she's facing the wall
Posters of Dylan and of Hemingway
An antique compass for a sailor's escape
She says you just can't live this way
And I close my eyes and I never say
I'm still having dreams
*******
Chorus
*******
And on the worst days
When it feels like life weighs ten thousand tons
I sleep with my passport
One eye on the back door
So I can always run
I can get up, shower, and in half an hour I'll be gone

Dm* Am
And come morning
I am disappearedC
G Dm*
Just an imprint on the bedsheets
(palm-mutted with some open chords here and there)
I'm by the roadsideAm with my thumb out C
G Dm*
A car pulls up, and Bob's driving
So I climb in Am
We don't say a word C
G Dm*
As we pull off, into the sunrise
(open chords)
And these rivers Am of tarmac C are like arteries G across the country
Dm We are blood Amcells aliveC in the blooGdstream the beating heart of the country
Dm We are elecAmtric pulses C in the pathways G of the sleeping soul of the country
