Troubles Will Be Gone - The Tallest Man on Earth
Tabbed by: lord RAVE
Tuning: Open G (DGDGBd)
Capo 8th, or wherever suits your voice, I ain't the boss of you.
This song is easier than it looks. Like many of The Tallest Man on Earth's songs its four chords
split into 3 voices - bass, treble and a middle voice.
Practice the alternating bass first then start adding in the other voices as you see fit.
Establish a solid right hand plucking pattern. He usually uses several per song, as you get faster you'll
notice you aren't thinking about the bass and treble parts, you're thinking about the pattern.
Remember this is a folk song. TMOE rarely plays it the same way twice, so why should you? Focus on
capturing the feel, not replicating it note for note.

But now the ghost is in my jacket and my stairs were built in anger
CWinding forcefully but end up where I stanDd
But there are no Em9rocks or salt and nails, I low my cGannons Dnot to Em9kill you
Simply Clost the words to tell you I'm afraiDd
CAnd there's a sign up to a hill to see theD7 far of the land
CWell the sign will tell you, "Turn if therD7e's a one"
Still the dEm9ay is never done, but there's a Glight on wheDre you're sEm9leeping
So I hoCpe somewhere that troubleD7s will be gone
Oh darling, when it's you I see in headlights, driving down the golden highway
And salvation in the beauty of some brace
And the deer is gone without me to the valley of surrender
There is still another world along it's tracks
But there's that sign up to a hill to see the far of the land
Well the sign will say, "There's still a higher one"
And now the day is slowly setting, and the lights on where you're sleeping
So I hope somewhere that troubles will be gone
