So this is the tab/chords to Dad's Song by Set It Off from their album Cinematics I got these chords/notes from this cover tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=fNmQ9HVf7yE However, I would suggest in the intro instead of using your index and middle finger for the first part and switching everything around for the next, just use your middle and ring finger on the B and e strings and switch between your pinky and index on the G string. (If that makes any sense) But do what makes it easiest for you! The timing on some chords may be off in the written thing, but listen to the song and you'll figure it out pretty quick! Here goes. Standard Tuning EADGBe No Capo-although it can be used apparently CHORDS USED A-x02220 E-022100 E2-033200 Fmaj9 (or whatever it's called)- x9(11)(11)(10)x D-xx0232 Dm-xx0231 F#-244322 Em- 022000 Intro/Verse 1 e |------5---5---5---------5---5---5-----------------------------| B |----5---5---5---5-----5---5---5---5---------------------------| G |--6-----------------4-----------------------------------------| Repeat x8 D |--------------------------------------------------------------| Till A |--------------------------------------------------------------| Chorus E |--------------------------------------------------------------| Lyrics: Do you believe, in happy endings' Or the mendings, of human hearts' Oh, I believe, in both I'm certain Because these curtains, are state of the art If you'd occasionally, happen to spy on me You'd think I'm having one sided conversations But I hear him talking back You'd think, I may even lack Some sanity, but maybe, I can't let go Chorus 1: All single strums So I'll say

^AI finally wrote your song, at last ^ESorry, ^E2that this one came ^Fmaj9out so sad, every tear I had ^DWas shed for the man that ^Dmgave me a better sense ^A

Of life and meaning to motivate

^EThere's no short ^E2cut to success, I'll ^Fmaj9wait For his, guiding hand ^DMy guardian Angel, ^Dmuntil the very end

^AI see a cold seat on the couch Where I remember ^Ethat just four years ago around December ^Fmaj9You sat me down and Held me next to ^Dyou so close ^Dm ^AHow I long for things to be restored ^ETo back when times weren't quite this hard ^Fmaj9In the car that song you sang to me ^DNever rang so loud ^Dmbefore

^Fmaj9Oh, what'd I'd give for just another ^Dhug from you You may ^Fmaj9be gone, but love will never ^Ddie ^Dm

Chorus 2: *This is not single strums* So I'll say

^AI finally wrote your song, at last ^ESorry, ^E2that this one came ^Fmaj9out so sad, every tear I had ^DWas shed for the man that ^Dmgave me a better sense ^A

Of life and meaning to motivate

^EThere's no short ^E2cut to success, I'll ^Fmaj9wait For his, guiding hand ^DMy guardian Angel, ^Dmuntil the very end

Bridge: *PM the starred chords* *F# *Em Tears can't run dry, when I start to cry *A A D When I hear people speak of how you'd be so proud of me

^F#And how I hope this song will reach your ears ^EmI battled all my darkest fears ^AI once was blind but now it's clear, ^DWherever I go ^DmI know that you'll be near

Chorus 3: You can choose to just play the chords single strummed until "Was shed for the man..." or you can play it this way: You just play the A tab and the Fmaj9 tab twice A (x2) E E2 Fmaj9 (x2) e |--0-----0---------------0----0------0----0-------x----------------| B |--2-------2-------------0------0----0------0-----10-----10--------| G |--2----2-----(x2)-------1---1-------2---2--------11--------11-----| D |--2---------------------2-----------3------------11---11------(x2)| A |--0---------------------2-----------3------------9----------------| E |--x---------------------0-----------0------------x----------------|

For his, guiding hand
