Album: Pneumonia
The guitar is tuned 1/2 step down so if you play in standard tuning just play on the key of B.
This tab is according to the album version.I've see videos of Ryan play this live recently and
he sometimes in the chorus does Am to G to F, but that is not how it is recorded in Pneumonia.
Verse 1
CWell the banks of the river run through my hometown
CBorn on the dirt roads, and i scraped my Fknees
CWell they paved the roads eventually
CWith neon signs and car dealerships andF diners
Chorus
GThe soldiers fill theAm hotels on tFhe weekends
GI saw the prettyAm women as I Fwalked GthroughC town
Verse 2
CWell I moved away soon as I turned sixteen
CFigured I was old enough to go and work a Fjob
CWell i floated down main street pools of carlights
COvercame me wishin' I was still back Fhome
Chorus
GThe soldiers fill theAm hotels on thFe weekends
GI saw the prettyAm women as I Fwalked GthroughC town
Verse 3
CJacksonville's a city with a hopeless streetlight
CSeems like you're lucky if it ever changes red to Fgreen
CI was born in an abundance of inherited sadness
CWith 50 cent picture frames bought at a five and Fdime
Chorus
GI ended up aAm soldier on the weekFend
GLooking for aAm vacancy IF wasn't able to find
GSomewhere the night sky Amhangs like a Fblanket
GShoot it with my cAmapgun just to Fmake it Gseem like Cstars
Thank you
