The Front Bottoms - West virginia

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- West Virginia - The Front Bottoms ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: AlfieJP E-mail: alfieplummer@yahoo.co.uk This is the tab to The Front Bottoms new song 'West Virginia' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XII7af9SrLI This is a different style from most of their previous songs, so tabbing it was quite interesting. I'm a huge fan of the band and all of their past work. This is learned by ear so if you see any mistakes please let me know. Try and find the rhythms yourself because they can be odd. Also a small riff is missing because I can't work it out, try work it out yourself and let me know if you get it, it's marked in the tab. Hope you enjoy.

where you are? The only thing I could think to ask, But nothing ever hurt so bad, As the “no” that you said back, But ain’t that the truth, man, Those are just facts, The farther you go from where you start, The harder it is to get back, Love of my life, gone forever Love of my life, gone for good This is for all my friends in West Virginia The good stuff comes, The good stuff goes The good stuff seems so hard to hold Hope it slides slowly down your throat So the taste of it may linger Right now, I’m just a volcano On the brink of eruption Right now I’m just a psycho Hell bent on self-destruction Hell bent on self-destruction Hell bent on self-destruction Hell bent on self-destruction Love of my life, gone forever Love of my life, gone for good I wish I may, I wish I might One day live life like a person in paradise Right now, I’m just a volcano On the brink of eruption Right now I’m just a psycho Hell bent on self-destruction Hell bent on self-destruction Hell bent on self-destruction Hell bent on self-destruction Ride or die Brothers for life Darkest days Coldest nights Ride or die Brothers for life Darkest days Coldest nights There ain’t no doctor on earth There ain’t no lord up above Who knows a strong enough medicine Or a lifesaving love Like I said, I thought I was focused I thought I had it figured out How to organize my words good Before they fall right out my mouth But I have learned that the direction I was walking was so wrong And I just need a little help here, man To find the path I should be on Love of my life, gone forever Love of my life, gone for good Love of my life, gone forever Get her back, good lord you know I wish I could
