Tuning: E A D G B E
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE OVERPASS - Gang of Youths ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Erin E-mail: erooney144@hotmail.com Tuning: EADGBE A simple way of playing this awesome and devastating tune with one guitar. The rhythm of the intro/verse is a little tricky to get at first so have roughly marked it out here - have a listen to the track to hear for it. Intro: 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | e|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| B|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| G|-----0-----0--|-----0-----0--|-----2---2----|-----0-----0--| D|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| A|--3----3-----3|--------------|--3----3---3--|--3----3-----3| E|--------------|--0----0-----0|--------------|--------------| Verse 1: We're stranded at the lights... e|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| B|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| G|-----0-----0--|-----0-----0--|-----2---2----|-----0-----0--| D|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| x 2 A|--3----3-----3|--------------|--3----3---3--|--3----3-----3| E|--------------|--0----0-----0|--------------|--------------| Verse 1 lyrics: We're stranded at the lights With extraordinary distance Covered in a blanket Of northern snow I am your protection The last line of defence I'll try to keep my promises To all of our friends Pre-chorus:
But I don’t have aAm coat, And we don’t have Ca car. Honey if you’re paFtient. C
Chorus:
Oh the oFverpass in Harlem shines like NCeon violence in my blood SFo red and white, and out of our contCrol
Verse 2 (repeat Verse bit): You swore it on your life You wouldn't get so tired But I can hear you lying Over the phone This is such a failure Wholly on my part To rectify our balance with The credit on the cards Pre-chorus:
But I don’t have tAmhe nerve, But if you have thCe heart, Honey if you’re paFtient. C
Chorus:
Oh the oFverpass in Harlem shines like NCeon violence in my blood SFo red and white, and out of our contCrol
Do they Fdrown their young in Hudson waters, BCring their children with disorders, IFnto the night and the dark, northernC cold
Verse 3 (repeat Verse bit): You see it in their faces Strong against the white Fighting with the angels For glory and pride And we are not peculiar But am I not at fault? This is the arrangement And what I've been sold Pre-chorus:
But I don’t have tAmhe nerve, But if you have thCe heart, Honey if you’re paFtient. C
Chorus:
Oh the oFverpass in Harlem shines like NCeon violence in my blood SFo red and white, and out of our contCrol
Do they Fdrown their young in Hudson waters, BCring their children with disorders, IFnto the night and the dark, northernC cold
And it sFhakes and rattles through the ward, AC lightning bolt across the door, FFlourescent like the visions in my sleep
So much Fbraver than our present life AC golden factory of light AFnd you'll live long enough to catch its beams
