----------------------------------------------------------------------------- GIVING UP THE GUN - Vampire Weekend ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: clementgb Email: clmntgbrt@gmail.com Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) The whole song is based on the same pattern : A - F#m - E - D CHORUS :
A Your swoF#mrd’s grown old and rusty EBurnt bDeneath the rising sun A It’sF#m locked up like a trophy ForEgetting Dall the things it’s done
And though it’s been a long time You’re right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you’re giving up the gun VERSE :
A When I was 17 F#m I had wrists like steel E And I felt comDplete
And now my body fades Behind a brass charade And I’m obsolete But if the chance remained To see those better days I’d cut the cannons down My ears are blown to bits From all the rifle hits But I still crave that sound CHORUS :
A Your swoF#mrd’s grown old and rusty EBurnt bDeneath the rising sun A It’sF#m locked up like a trophy ForEgetting Dall the things it’s done
And though it’s been a long time You’re right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you’re giving up the gun VERSE :
A I heard you play guitar F#m Down at a seedy bar E Where sDkinheads used to fight
Your Tokugawa smile And your garbage style Used to save the night You felt the coming wave Told me we’d all be brave You said you wouldn’t flinch But in the years that passed Since I saw you last You haven’t moved an inch CHORUS :
A Your swoF#mrd’s grown old and rusty EBurnt bDeneath the rising sun A It’sF#m locked up like a trophy ForEgetting Dall the things it’s done
And though it’s been a long time You’re right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you’re giving up the gun BRIDGE (x7):
A I seeF#m you shine in your way Go Eon, goD on, go on
CHORUS :
A Your swoF#mrd’s grown old and rusty EBurnt bDeneath the rising sun A It’sF#m locked up like a trophy ForEgetting Dall the things it’s done
And though it’s been a long time You’re right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you’re giving up the gun
