This is the first Tab I've ever made, so feel free to give me crap if it's not a good
I don't need your DAMNED pity! Haha, anyways, this is the tab for the version of the song
in the second half of Noah and the Whale's first La Blogotheque video. Here's the url:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pzjfjGZKcg
This is NOT the tab for the first two songs played on the video, it's the tab for the
played towards the end in the apartment.
(note:for the intro and verse 1, use the A bar chord instead of the easier one lower on
neck. For the rest of the song just use regular A.)
Intro:
A (CLAP CLAP CLAP!)
Verse 1:
AWhen the baby's bEorn
Oh, let's tAurn it to the sEnow
So that F#mice will surely gErow
Over F#mweak and brittle bEones
Oh, let's leAave it to the wolEves
So their tAeeth turn it to foEod
Oh, its fF#mlesh keeps them alEive
Oh, its dF#meath helps them suErvive
Oh, the wF#morld cAan be kEind in its own F#mway E
(repeat the chord progression for verse 1 instrumentally before going into verse 2)
Verse 2:
Oh well your fuAture's a maEchine
With the mecAhanics of a drEeam
It is your mF#mind that spins the whEeel
And your hF#meart that makes you feEel
All the guAilt for all your sEins
Oh and aAs that wheel spEins
Oh well it pF#mlays as they beElieved
And for your hF#musband you have grEieved
Oh the wF#morld stAill deceEives you as it tF#murns E
(no instrumental break, cut straight to the next part)
D (let ring) A (triplets)
Well in my lucid moments I could see
F#m (let ring) E (triplets)
Oh that the heart might be the weakest part of me
D (let ring) A (triplets)
Oh and the moon controls the movements of the tide
F#m (let ring) E (triplets)
Oh but it has no weight on the movements of my mind
(This next part is acapella until the next chord is brought up. This section is supposed
be suspenseful so I would implore you to improvise with what you have around you as
through this section, and have your friends or audience sing it with you)
NC
But if you turn your hands into flames
All their light will burn the same
Whether you just pass it through
or if it's what you want to do
(NC) D A
And your sense of culpability
Is from the guDides that you peArceive
Will show you grF#mace
Oh when you turn to a ghoEst
Oh but nDow the love you foAund
Is raising yDou from muddy grAound
And oh the deDath will let you dAown
'Cause your cuF#mrse
Will go on the saEme
AND THAT'S THE END! Such a fun song, both to listen to and to play. Once again, feel
to criticize me if I'm wrong, in fact, e-mail me at Tinysharpieman@hotmail.com about it.
me your corrections, etc. Also, if you know the fiddle part and want to make a tab
that, feel free to use this as a reference.
