Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E
ARTIST: The Districts SONG: Lyla ALBUM: Live performances on YouTube GENERAL NOTES: The rhythm guitar has a capo on the 2nd fret. I tabbed this without a capo. With a capo, the chords are the same, but the shapes will be different. Please consult a guitar codex for the right shapes. The same chords are played throughout the song. The main variation is in the strumming pattern. The guitarist also occasionally reaches the G chord by playing a g# note. I've marked some places where he does that below. Little riff: e|-------2--0------| B|-----3------3----| G|-2h4----------2--| D|-----------------| A|-----------------| E|-----------------| NOTE: In at least one version, the guitarist only plays this once. I think it sounds good at the end of any of the verses. Main riff (played with a slide): e|--------10/5----------------| B|-----7--------7~~--7/10--10-| G|-4/7------------------------| D|----------------------------| A|----------------------------| E|----------------------------| Play the above riff several times, then end on this: e|--------10/5----------------------| B|-----7--------7~~--0-0---2/7~~----| G|-4/7---------------0-0---2/7~~----| D|----------------------------------| A|----------------------------------| E|------------------------------10/-| NOTE: This is an approximation. The lead plays something close to this with variations. ------------------------------------------------- Intro: D NOTES: The guitarist plays hammer-ons and pull-offs while holding the D chord. [Hit a staccato D and stop playing] Verse 1:
Good morning ALyla G The flowers bloomed monDths ago And nDow the branches hAang with autumn's fire G D I wake each mAorning G To feel this groDund's gone frozen beneath me- I dreamed away these moAnths 'til you were goneG D DAnd I found myself wAaking Curled up in my aGrms with a cigarette in hDand A G Little riff D And the hopes that we held were in my pocket
Chorus: [Main riff plays continually through chorus]
Will we eAver be WhGat this world was to yDou and me? Will we eAver be crGying for these days?D Will we eAver be whGat this heart held for yDou and me? Will we eAver be the sGame? D
Verse 2:
And I heard you'd been hAanging around G# G Those city boys learned to dDance so well It breaks my heart, it gAives me hell I'll go to the mGeadow where we used to lDay But I still wade A#intoA that stream The fGrozen damn water, it teDars at me But it makes me feDel like I'm fAighting to breathe and it's only tGhen I'm scared of dDying ItD's only when I see you tAurn to go that I knGow I need your love to stDay
Chorus
Will we eAver be WhGat this world was to yDou and me? Will we eAver be crGying for these days?D Will we eAver be whGat this heart held for yDou and me? Will we eAver be the sGame? D
Solo (4 measures of the same chords as the verse/chorus) Outro (about 8 measures of the same chords as the verse/chorus) Verse 3:
But it makes me feel like I'm Afighting to breathe and it's oG#nly tGhen I'm scared of dyDing It's only when I see you tAurn to go that I knGow I need your love to stay D
