IDLEWILD - AMERICAN ENGLISH (best version here) I first heard this song when i saw them live at Brixton Academy supporting the Hives. I fell in love with this song. Anyways - enjoy it. This is the best tab of this song on here, the rest are so rubbish I had to tab it myself. This is my first tab - hope you think it sounds ok!!! Have fun Chords to use: B - 799877 Abm- 466444 E - 022100 F# - 244322 Intro: (this is played 3 times before the chords + vocals kick in) Guitar 1 plays this throughout every verse. e-----------------| B-13--------------| G---12------------| D------15---14----| A-----------------| E-----------------| Verse 1 B Abm Songs when they're true, are all dedicated to you E In this invisible world I choose to live in B Abm And if you believe that for now I understand E Why words mean so much to you B They'll never be about you Verse 2 B Maybe you're young without youth Abm E Maybe you're old without, knowing anything's true B I think you're young without youth....
