I tabbed it out not knowing the high e was tuned to an F#, the tab's still right.
Except the chords have different names now.
Now, I'm not so sure what happens at the bridge..
Tuning:
EADGBf#
The main riff is based around a B chord I think
f#|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
B |--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
G |--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
D |--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-|
A |--2-2-0-2-2-2-2-0-2-|
E |--------------------|
The high e and b strings are left open for the F#, G#m and A, this is done by playing
route of the chord with your thumb.
f#|--F#0----G#m0----0A---|
B |--0----0----0---|
G |--3----4----6---|
D |--4----6----7---|
A |--4----6----7---|
E |--2----4----5---|
Intro: B Riff
Verse 1:
B Riff
This country is my canvas
I leave paint trails as I go.
I'm painting a Epicture
F# B Riff
That you can only see from outer space.
B Riff
My bedroom is your sofa,
I take my breakfast on the train.
E F# G#m B Riff
I'm tired and I'm dirty, and not a second goes to waste.
Chorus:
I'll be dead but never Adying, and I say that with a Esmile
It's just my way of G#mtrying to be aliivF#e.
Verse 3:
B Riff
Well I'll never get to grey hair
And I'll never be in the black,
E F# B Riff
But I can tell stories that most can hardly dream.
B Riff
Dreaming is a luxury,
Like stopping-staring and beauty sleep.
I'll stop when I'm Efinished,
F# B Riff G#m
And sleep is for the weak.
Chorus:
I'll be dead but never Adying, and I say that with a Esmile
It's just my way of G#mtrying to be aliivF#e.
Heaven's in the hAalf light, and that's where I Ereside,
I got a wG#mhiskey and a wry smile
I check my vitalB signs.
Bridge:
And when I'm F#gone,
The world revolves, and life goes oAn,
So mark no grave,
AForgetG#m my nF#ame. A
A G#m F#(Let Ring)
If the song remains
And everybody's got a drink and a smile,
Well, that's just fine by me yeaF#h.
Chorus:
Heaven's in the hAalf-light, and that's where I Ereside,
I got a wG#mhiskey and a wry smile
I check my vitalF# signs.
I'll be dead but never Adying, and I say that with a Esmile
G#m B Riff
It's just my way of trying to be aliive.
Outro: B Riff (Play till death) Says Frank.
