War in My Blood Jon Foreman (and Sean Watkins)
CAPO 2
This is my first tab I've ever done, seems like about time that I actually contributed
=) . I tabbed this by what it looks like and sounds like Jon is playing. I'm pretty sure
is really close to what Jon plays. He uses CAPO 2. As you have probably already
the numbers for frets are in relation to the capo.
I'm calling the intro the MAIN PART because it's used so frequently in the song,
you see (MAIN PART) that means this is being played. You're probably going to have to
to
song to get the rhythm of it.
e|--------------------------------------------|
B|----1---------1--------------1--------------|
G|-----------2------(0)--0(h2)---2p0----------|
D|-------0h3--------------(h3)----------------|
A|--3---------------(3)-----------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|
If you can get this part, you can play like half the song.
The verse uses these chords but Jon fingerpicks them.
I have a girl she tastes like rain on my tongue

There's war in my blood
F G (MAIN PART)
I've still got wars to be won
Verse 2 repeats the same guitar "licks" as before
My baby's soft and sweet
Somewhere between a flower and a gun
And where my girl is now
Someday that's where I want to be from
Chorus 2 is slightly different at one part
But Amlove is a Emdollar that's Falready Cspent
LFove is a sCong that's been Gsung

There's Fwar in my Gblood
F G (MAIN PART)
Love ain't the tune in my lungs
Bridge (Finally something easy!) =)
ESo here's my consoFlation
CThe opponent is Amenough
EIt takes two to go to Fwar
And only Gone to fall in Clove
Verse 3 uses guitar identical to 1 and 2
I had a girl
I know precisely what made her run
Her skin looked like the sky
Made my heart beat itself like a drum
I lAmong for my Emgirl
When I Fmeet her in my Cdreams
I Ftell her she'll always Cbe my only Emone E
But there's Fwar in my Gblood
F G (MAIN PART)
There ain't a thing love could have done
There's Fwar in my Gblood
There's Fwar in my Gblood
There's Fwar in my Gblood
F G (MAIN PART)x2
There's war in my bl-uh-ah-uh-d
Ends on C
