Temples - "The Golden Throne"
Always loved this song, and thought I'd share the way I play it
(which is based off of the way James does in the acoustic performance).
It's the exact same chords as in the recording, and the song has yet to be tabbed exact anywhere I've seen.
So here it is, enjoy!
[Intro]
C Bb
|-8---6------------------------------------------------------|
|-8---6------------------------------------------------------|
|-9---7------------------------------------------------------|
|-10--8---------------------7-6------------------------------| x2
|-10--8---------5-7-----6-7------7-----8-7-6-7---------------|
|-8---6---5-7-8------------------------------------8-7-5-4---|
[Verse 1]
AmA friend is Bmmore than a comE7panion
AmA foe is lBmess than that to E7me
AmWhen you hear the Am/G#words
Am/GThe words you long to Am/F#hear
FOpen up Bb
AmThe guidance fBmrom a close and loE7ved one
AmIs more impoBmrtant than you thE7ink
AmWhen your arms are cAm/G#losed
Am/GThen open with a Am/F#key
FSecret key Bb
[Pre-Chorus]
AmClashed hF7ands shAmaking in the clF7oset
AmHands dF7own, Amyou will have to see F7
AmPast pF7lans forAmgotten and remeF7mbered
AmAct F7now
Cadd2When I don't know where to Amgo
[Chorus]
AmEverything that you sDmay to your closest E7one
E7Makes you feel like a Ampain toward Am/GeveryoFne
When the wordsAm/E are unDmkind, you'll regret the choGice
GFor as long as you cG/G#hoose
There may be reAmjoice
AmIn the colour of Dmday when you see the tE7ruth
Take a step to the fAmront to the bruntAm/G of yoFuth
FUnderstand what Am/Ethey mDmean when they say the woGrds
GWhen sorry is G/G#said, feel it to your bAmones
[Repeat Intro riff, but without the C and Bb chords)
[Verse 2]
Amends is made with a connection
A lonely man becomes a king
When you need the words
The words you long to feel
Listen up
The triumph of a close and loved one
The journey to the golden throne
When the gown is graced
Proceed towards the stage
Golden stage
[Pre-Chorus]
Clashed hands shaking in the closet
Hands down, you will have to see
Past plans verbatim and forgotten
Act now
And I don't know where to go
[Chorus]
Everything that you say to your closest one
Makes you feel like a pain toward everyone
When the words are unkind, you'll regret the choice
For as long as you choose there may be rejoice
In the colour of day when you see the truth
Take a step to the front to the brunt of youth
Understand what they mean when they say the words
When sorry is said, feel it to your bones.
Notes: E7 in the verse is based on x7675x, in the chorus it's 020100.
Hopefully that all makes sense!
Enjoy, and check out the acoustic version if you haven't seen it before!
