------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Older Chests - Damien Rice ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: KustomJarvis Email: jarvis0819@yahoo.com Tuning: standard This a great song, but with a ton of ghost notes. I threw in everything I heard, so will probably be a few notes that might seem unnecessary in some parts. Play what sounds to you let ring throughout + fingerpick [intro/verse] [x3] e|-----------------------------------------------| B|---------1--------------1-----1-------0--------| G|------0--------------------0----0---0---0------| D|------------2----------------------------------| A|---3-------------------------------------------| E|---------------------0--1--------3-------------| e|-----------------------------------------------| B|---------1----------------------------0--------| G|------0----------------------(0)----0---0------| D|------------2----------------------------------| A|---3---------------------(3)-------------------| E|---------------------0-1---------3-------------| e|-----------------------------------------------| B|---------1--------------------1-------(1)------| G|-----(2)------------------(0)------(0)---------| D|-----------2-----------------------------------| A|---0-------------------0-2-------3-------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| e|-----------------------------------------------| B|---------(1)-------------1-----------1---------| G|-----(0)--------------0-----0-----0-----0------| D|---3---------3--(3)3---------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------3---------------| e|-----------------------------------------------| B|---------1-------------------1-------(1)-------| G|------0--------------------0---0---0----0------| D|------------2----------------------------------| A|---3-------------------------------------------| E|--------------------(0)-1--------3-------------| e|-----------------------------------------------| B|---------1-------------------1--------1--------| G|------0--------------------0---0----0---0------| D|------------2----------------------------------| A|---3-------------------------------------------| E|---------------------0--1--------3-------------| e|-----------------------------------------------| B|---------1--------------------1-------1--------| G|------2---------------------0------0-----------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|---0-------------------0-2-------3-------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| e|-------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------1----(1)-------------1-------------1--------| G|--------0----------(0)-------0-------------0-----0-----| D|---0-3--------3---------3-3--------3-------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------3--------------| Older chests reveal themselves like a crack in the wall, starting small, grow with time. And we all seem to need the help of someone else, to mend that shelf with too many books. Read me your favorite line. Papa went to other lands, he found someone who understands the ticking, the western man's need to cry. He came back the other day. Some things in life may change, and some things, they stay the same. Like time.

They watch their city change. Children scream, or so it seems louder than before out a door, and into stores with bigger names. Mama tried to watch their faces but these kids, they lost their graces, and daddy lost at the races too many times. She broke down the other day. Some things in life may change, but some things, they stay the same. Like time.
