Roads by Portishead
-------------------
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet
The Am chord is sometimes "sussed" to add a transition, but mostly
chords
are just strummed once with lots of echo and reverb and a bit of
distortion. The strumming can be slightly tricky if you're singing at
the same time, so listen to the record to get it right.
Intro/Verse:
Am G6 Fmaj7 E7 F G
Am
e:-----------------0-----|----1--------0----|------|--------------------

B:-----------------0-----|----1--------0----|------|--------------------

G:----5------------0-----|----2--------1----|------|---0h2-----0h4-----5

Drums come in...
Verse 1:
--------
Am Oho, G6 can't anybody Fma7see? E7 You gAmotta walk to find me,
G6 Never found oFmaj7ur way, regE7ardless, of what they say
F How can itG feeAml, this wFrong? From this moment,
How canG if feel, Amthis wrong?
Verse 2: (same chords as previously) Chords have more echo here
--------
Am StG6oned, in theFmaj7 morning liE7ght, IAm feel, no more
CaG6n I Fmaj7say, fE7rozen, F to myseGlf, I got nobody on my side,
And surely thaAmt ain't right
F G Surely Amthat ain't right.
Verse 3:
--------
Same as verse 1, except with strings..Also, 2nd Am is sussed,
if you see what I mean...(play 2nd Am as Am->Asus4->G6)
Until:
F How caGn it Amfeel, tFhis wrong, from this moment
How cGan it feeE7l, this wrong?
Break:
------
Play intro (with a lot of bass A, G, F, E) up to:
F How caGn it Amfeel, tFhis wrong, from this moment
How cGan it feeE7l, this wrong?
Play Verse 1 again (the same way as in intro).
Ends on: Am
"...this wrong."
Other ways of playing some chords:
----------------------------------
Fmaj7 Amsus4 Am G6 or
e:--0---------------0-----3--0--|
B:--1---------5-----1-----5--0--| The 1st G6 voicing is a bit crap,
G:--2---------7-----2-----4--0--| but Fmaj7 and Am and 2nd G6 are easier
D:--3---------7-----2-----x--0--| to play like this on an accoustic
A:--3---------7-----0-----5--2--| and sound better..
E:--0---------5-----------3--3--|
