The verse being played with the first finger for the A chord and fingers three and four (mainly 3) being added as appropriate, G and D chords used in the middle and at the end of each line. e:---|---|---|---|---| B:---|-1-|---|---|---| G:---|-1-|---|---|---| D:---|-1-|---|(3)|(4)| A:---|---|---|---|---| E:---|---|---|---|---| The chorus being G, D and A. ------------------------------------------------ Subject: /h/Boo Hewerdine/59 Yards.tab 59 Yards (Boo Hewerdine) ------------------------ This is on Boo Hewerdine's second album, Ignorance. It's played in Ab (capo at 1), live and on the album. All the following is written as though played in G (at the nut), so if you're playing with a capo at the first fret, remember to play all the TAB sections one fret higher than written here. Am C D Am D C 59 yards from your house to my house 59 yards away 59 yards from your house to my house 59 yards away Am D C There's a white car waiting to take me, waiting tt me, waiting to take me Am C D Am - - 59 yards from your house to my house 59 yards away [Chorus] : C G Am and I can't help thinking about it I can't help thinking about it I can't help thinking about it C G Am: // * \\ // \\ e ---0----------3----------||--------------------||---||-------------||--| B ---1----------0----------||--------0-1----1-0--||---||--1--1--1----||--| G ---0----------0----------||--2--2--2-2----2-2-.||---||--2--2--2---.||--| D ---2----------0----------||--2--2-------------.||---||--2--2--2---.||--| A ---3----------2----------||--0--0--------------||---||--0-----0----||--| E --------------3----------||--------------------||---||-------------||--| one day I'm gonna die \\ // x3 \\ // x4 repeats rpts Am C D Am D C Telephone lines scratch my name out across the sky Telephone lines scratch my name out across the sky Am D C There's a white car waiting to take me, waiting tt me, waiting to take me Am C D Am - - Telephone lines scratch my name out across the sky [Chorus] [Break]: 0.5 0.5 / / / / / / / G ---5-7---5----5-7---5------7(8)----7(8)----7(8)----7(8)----7(8)--7--5-- D -7---------7----------7-----------------------------------------------7- 0.5 0.5 / / // \\ \ G ---5-7---5----5-7---5----||-7(8)-7(8)-7(8)--.||--7(8)-7(8)-7(8)7--5--7-| D -7---------7----------7--||-----------------.||------------------------| \\ // x2 A ---3----------3----------3----------3---5---3---------------------| E -5---5--3-h-5---5--3-h-5---5--3-h-5-------------------------------| 0.5 0.5 0.5 e -5-------------------------------| / / / B -----8---5-----------------------| G ---5-7---5----5-7---5----5-7---5-----------------8--7---5------------| D -7---------7----------7----------7---------------------------7-------| I keep...

Have a listen to the album. Bend notation : x(y) fretted at x, pre-bent upto y, pick and hold / x(y) fretted at x, pick and bend one half-step upto y 0.5 / X fretted at X, pick and bend up half a half-step (one quarter step?) \ x(y)x fretted at x, pre-bent (to y), pick and release bend back down to x h is a hammer on p is a pull-off Here's the break written out in the key of Ab (i.e. this is exactly what you play if you're using a capo at the first fret). 0.5 0.5 / / / / / / / G ---6-8---6----6-8---6------8(9)----8(9)----8(9)----8(9)----8(9)--8--6-- D -8---------8----------8-----------------------------------------------8- 0.5 0.5 / / // \\ \ G ---6-8---6----6-8---6----||-8(9)-8(9)-8(9)---||--8(9)-8(9)-8(9)8--6--8-| D -8---------8----------8--||------------------||------------------------| \\ // x2 A ---4----------4----------4----------4---6---4-------------------| E -6---6--4-h-6---6--4-h-6---6--4-h-6-----------------------------| 0.5 0.5 0.5 e -6--------------------------------| / / / B ----9---6-------------------------| G ---6-8---6----6-8---6----6-8---6----------------9---8---6-------------| D -8---------8----------8----------8---------------------------8--------| I keep...
