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 (http://goo.gl/RnADKY) 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!
By the way, the strumming pattern is (according to the man himself in http://goo.gl/9pcgNh): Down up down down up down down up

Verse (same as Intro)
*******
Gsus4 I keep having Am7dreams
Of Fadd9pioneers and Gsus4pirate ships and Bob DyAm7lan
Of Fadd9people wrapped up Gsus4tight in the things that will Am7kill them
Of Fadd9being trapped in a Gsus4lift plunging straight to the Am7bottom
Of Fadd9open 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 Amy worked in a bar in Fadd9Exeter I went back to her Gsus4house and I slept beAm7side her
She woke up screaming in the middle of the Fadd9night terriGsus4fied of her own inAm7sides
Dreams of pirate ships and Patty Fadd9Hearst breakin Gsus4through a life over-reAm7hearsed
She can't remember which came Fadd9first 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 tonsFmaj7 Fadd9 Fmaj7
She's got her cowboy bGsus4oots and G car keys on the Cbedstand so she can always runFmaj7 Fadd9
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
