Helping you out, Stobeatles
I totally agree that this is the best song on the album. Maybe one day someone will
post it with drop tuning, but this is standard tuning.
(To make fingerwork easier: put capo on second fret to make it an F# chord but with an E
fingering. Get it? In which case you'd be fingering E, A, E, A B, c#m, A, B... for
the beginning of the verse)
**Note: When playing the final chord of the chorus, I believe the artist's tuning
creates a B chord with a Major 7th added, or Major B7 chord (not a dominant 7, which instead
would add a minor 7th). At this moment, either a B, a Major B7, or an a# minor chord
sound pretty good to me.
(( Intro ))
F#, B, F#, B, F#, B, C#, B
Oh F#I was sent toB find the lonesome placeF#
Where I was losBt but left to tC#race
By carvingA#m riddles on thBe lonesoC#me vine
Oh F#but rumor hasB it that I wasn't borF#n
I just walked inB one frosty morC#n
Into the A#mvision of someB vacant C#mind
(( chorus ))
B C# F# B **(optional: add 7, I think it's heard in
Matsson's tuning.)
Oh once I held a pony by its flagging mane
And oncBe I called C#the shadow iF#n the turnBing game
But A#mI will C# figBht this stranC#ger that you should fear
So IA#m won'tC# beB a burden of tomorroF#w dear
(( Interlude or something. ))
F#, B, F#, B
AwwF# Xavier's on Bthe border of the sun F#
Swings on Bthe chambers of C#your guns
And tries to A#mshoot the chord andB light the pC#ath
AwwF# but hell I'mB just a blind man on theF# plains
I drink myB water when C#it rains
And liveA#m by chance amongB the lighC#tning strikes
(( chorus ))
Oh once I held a glacier to an open flame
And once I felt like wildcat in the fallen game
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear
F#, B, F#, B,
F#, B, F#
(( chorus ))
Oh the singer's on the edge to feed the canyon's mouth
They will go on forever til they sing you out of time
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear
WHAT A GREAT TAB IN PROGRESS!
