Capo: 3
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo on 3. Second tab ever, be sure to read the notes at the bottom after you have played along with the song!
You can finger your way through this song, perhaps add in some strumming during the instrumental part. I pick
in a 5 - 2 - 4 - 3 pattern, but I'm no expert and it doesn't exactly sound like what they're doing. Use your
imagination and have fun.
[Intro]
C F G
[Verse]
CWhen I was younger
F C G Am (Or: C E/C Am)*
All I had to do
Was hold your hand and Gdrink you in
Fmake some time for you
I went Amstumbling through the darGkness
Of a tFhousand half-lit bars
I don't Cknow what I was running from but I mGust've run to far
[Chorus]
Now I'm rFeaching
Back for Fsomething
But I'm cAmoming
Up with nAmothing
It's a Glong long way from where I Fwas to where I am
FGod have mercy on a runaway man
FGod have mercy on a GrunaCway man F G
[Verse]
CKey under your doormat
F C G Am (Or: C E/C Am)
The porch light you left lit **
The years dragged on bGurned away just Flike a cigarette
AmThe price of all those niGghts
Never wForth the mornings cost
Oh Cno amount of wishing's gonna bGring back what I lost
[Chorus]
Now I'm rFeaching
Back for Fsomething
But I'm cAmoming
Up with nAmothing
It's a Glong long way from where I Fwas to where I am
FGod have mercy on a runaway man
FGod have mercy on a GrunawCay man
[Instrumental]
FOoh, AmOoh, FOoh, AmOoh
It's a Glong long way from where I Fwas to where I am
FGod have mercy on a runaway man
FGod have mercy on a GrunawCay man
FGod have mercy on a runaway man
FGod have mercy on a GrunawCay man
*: I think the C E/C Am sounds good or perhaps even better but who am I. Certainly not a virtuoso.
**: Not sure what they sing there..
Let me know what you think of this tab. I did it all by ear and my ears aren't tuned in on guitar chords as
much as the really skilled guitar players out there. If you think this tab needs some change be sure to post
it so we can all enjoy Ilse de Lange and her Common Linnets the way any guitar player would want to!
JA MAN, GAAF MAN!
HEEL LEUK!
