Song: These Walls Artist: Kendrick Lamar Album: To Pimp A Butterfly Tabbed By: Stefan Iyapah, RGT Guitar Tutor, stefan.guitartuition@gmail.com Really great jazz chords in this track! As with most jazz, the fingerings/voicings you use make a big difference so here are my suggested voicings for the chords used: For those who find the extended chords too difficult, you could also settle for maj7 or m7 instead of the more complicated maj9, m11 etc which would sound not as rich but would still work! Abmaj9 4x5343 Gm7 3x333x Gm7/C x3333x Fmaj7 1x221x Dbmaj7 x43111 C x3201x Db/F 14312x Fmaj7(alt) x8755x Dm7 x5356x Db6/9 x4334x Dbmaj9 x4354x Fm7 1x111x Fm7#5 1x112x Fmaj9 1x201x Abmaj7 4x554x Gm11/C x3331x I have put the chords in the right place lyric wise but have a listen to the song for the rhythm as the same rhythm repeats throughout the whole song. [INTRO]- NO CHORDS I remember you was conflicted, misusing your influence Sometimes, I did the same Sound of a woman moaning If these walls could talk (x6) Sex [PRECHORUS] Abmaj9..........Gm7......

^Gm7/CShe just want ^Fmaj7to close her eyes ^Dbmaj7and sway With ^Gm7/Cyou, With you, With you ^Abmaj9 ^Gm7

^Gm7/CExercise her^Fmaj7 right to work ^Dbmaj7it out It's ^Gm7/Ctrue, it's ^Ctrue, it's true^Db/F

^Dbmaj7Shout out to the birthday girls say ^Fmaj7(alt)hey, (heyyy^Dm7) ^Dbmaj9 say hey ^Db/F

...^Dbmaj7Everyone deserves a night to play^Fmaj7(alt) ^Dm7 ^Db6/9

And she plays only when you tell her no [CHORUS]

^Abmaj9If these wall^Gm7s could talk ^Gm7/C ^Fmaj7 (I can feel ^Dbmaj7your reign when it cries, ^Gm7/Cgold lives inside of you)

^Abmaj9If these wall^Gm7s could talk ^Gm7/C ^Fmaj7 (I love it when I’m in ^Dbmaj7it... I love it when I’m in ^Gm7/Cit)

[VERSE I]

If the^Abmaj9se walls could tal^Gm7k they’d tell me to swim good ^Gm7/CNo boat, I flo^Fmaj7at better than he would^Dbmaj7

No life jacket, I’m not the God of Naza^Gm7/Creth

But your flood can be misunderstood

^Abmaj9Walls telling m^Gm7e they full of pain, resentment ^Gm7/CNeed someone to live in the^Fmaj7m just to relieve tension^Dbmaj7

Me? I’m just a tenant

Landlord sa^Gm7/Cid these walls vacant more than a minute T^Db/Fhese walls are vulnerable, exclam^Dbmaj7ation

Interior pink, color coordinated

^Fmaj7(alt)..I interroga^Dm7ted, every nook ^Dbmaj9and cranny

I mean it's still amazing before they couldn’t stand me

^Db/F...These walls want to cry tears ^Dbmaj7...These walls happier when I’m here

Fmaj7(alt) Dm7 Db6/9 ...These walls never could hold up Every time I come around demolition might crush [CHORUS]

^Abmaj9If these wall^Gm7s could talk ^Gm7/C ^Fmaj7 (I can feel ^Dbmaj7your reign when it cries, ^Gm7/Cgold lives inside of you)

^Abmaj9If these wall^Gm7s could talk ^Gm7/C ^Fmaj7 (I love it when I’m in ^Dbmaj7it... I love it when I’m in ^Gm7/Cit)

[VERSE II]

^Abmaj9If these walls could tal^Gm7k they’d tell me to go deep Ye^Gm7/Clling at me c^Fmaj7ontinuously, I can see

^Dbmaj7..Your defense mechanism is my decisi^Gm7/Con

Knock these walls down, that’s my religion

^Abmaj9Walls feeling like t^Gm7hey ready to close in ^Gm7/CI suffocate, t^Fmaj7hen catch my second wind ^Dbmaj7

I resonate in these walls

I don’t k^Gm7/Cnow how long I can wait in these walls I’ve been on thes^Db/Fe streets too long

Looking ^Dbmaj7at you from the outside in They sing the ^Fmaj7(alt)same old song ^Dm7

About ho^Dbmaj9w they walls always the cleanest I beg to ^Db/Fdiffer, I must’ve missed them

I’m not^Dbmaj7 involved, I’d rather diss them Fmaj7(alt) Dm7 Db6/9 I’d rather call on you, put your wall up

Cause when I come around demolition gon’ crush [CHORUS]

^Abmaj9If these wall^Gm7s could talk ^Gm7/C ^Fmaj7 (I can feel ^Dbmaj7your reign when it cries, ^Gm7/Cgold lives inside of you)

^Abmaj9If these wall^Gm7s could talk ^Gm7/C ^Fmaj7 (I love it when I’m in ^Dbmaj7it... I love it when I’m in ^Gm7/Cit)

[INTERLUDE] Abmaj7 Gm7 Gm7/C Fmaj7 Dbmaj7 Gm7/C Abmaj7 Gm7 Gm7/C Fmaj7 Dbmaj9 Gm11/C {BRIDGE]

If yo^Fm7ur walls could talk, they’d tell you it’s too late ^Dbmaj9Your destiny accepted your fate

^Fmaj7(alt)Burn accessories a^Dm7nd stash them where the^Dbmaj9y are

Take the recipe, the Bible and God

^Fm7#5Wall telling you that commissary is low ^Dbmaj9Race wars happening no calling CO

^Fmaj7(alt)No calling your moth^Dm7er to save you ^Db6/9Homies to say you're reputable, not acceptable

Your behavior is S^Abmaj9ammy Da Bull l^Gm7ike A killer that turned sn^Gm7/Citch

Walls i^Fmaj9s telling me you a bi^Dbmaj9tch You pray for appeals hoping the warden would a^Gm7/Cfford them

That sentence so important

^Abmaj7Walls telling you to ^Gm7listen to "Sing About Me" R^Gm7/Cetaliation is s^Fmaj7trong, you even dream 'bout m^Dbmaj9e

Killed my homeboy and God spared your life ^Gm11/C

Dumb criminal got indicted same night

So^Abmaj7 when you play this song, ^Gm11rewind the first verse ^Gm7/CAbout me abusing my ^Fmaj7power so you can hurt^Dbmaj7

About me and her in the shower whenever she horny^Gm11/C

About me and her in the after hours of the morning

^Abmaj7About her baby daddy ^Gm11currently serving life And ^Gm11/Chow she think about you u^Fmaj7ntil we meet up at night^Dbmaj9

About the only girl that cared about you when you asked he^Gm11/Cr

And how she fucking on a famous rapper

Walls could ^Fm7#5talk ^Dbmaj9 ^Fmaj7(alt) ^Dm7 ^Dbmaj9 Fm7#5 Dbmaj9 Fmaj7(alt) Dm7 Db6/9

[OUTRO]- NO CHORDS I remember you was conflicted Misusing your influence Sometimes I did the same Abusing my power, full of resentment Resentment that turned into a deep depression Found myself screaming in a hotel room
