Hello fellow Ultimate Guitarists! My first guitar tab / chords - woo hoo! I don't think I have got one of the chords quite (which I have named G* - 302010), but it sounds close enough. If you are struggling to get the timing right, each chord letter equals 4 counts (so "C means C is played for 8 counts). The words are written out with each line representing breath (roughly). Have a go and see what you think.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capo required on the FIRST fret (then you can sing along with the track). C X32010 C/B X20010 Am 002210 G 320003 F 133211 G* 302010 E 022100 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---Intro---------------------------------------------------------------------| C C ---Verse One--- C C/B Am The day that we, took out a car in the rain G C Is the day you forgot how to brake C/B Am And see, how quickly the picture will change G F Filled with fingers and voices and teeth G Am I still remember holding my hand G* F Against your face just before it was splayed G C Across the radio, as it played C ---Verse Two--- C C/B Am And you and me are still as the scenery moves G Oh, why should it stop, just ‘cause C C/B Am Suddenly, there’s one where there used to be two, G F And everything’s quiet but then G Am Looks like the speaker lived through the blow G* F Still playing some compilation you made G Am Feels like a lifetime sitting alone G* F So I start humming along to the tape ---Chorus--- G C I always liked this singer, I remember E F How you were the one who told me that her name G C Was either Mia or M.I.A. C ---Bridge--- F F And I am thinking, C How many hours ‘til I’m home? C F How long do I stay in this place? F C Who’s going to wash all the blood from my clothes? C F Who’s gonna cancel my date? F G G Who’s gonna cancel my date? F And I think.... ---Chorus--- G C I always liked this singer, I remember E F How you were the one who told me that her name G G Was either Mia... F Oh I think... ---Chorus--- G C I always liked this singer, I remember E F How you were the one who told me that her name G C Was either Mia, or M.I.A. C ---Verse Three--- C C/B Am The day that we took out a car in the rain G C I thought to myself that the sky was blue C/B Am As I’d ever seen it but yet G Still tainted with red..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think it sounds particularly good if you choose a finger-picking pattern rather than through the whole song. I hope you all enjoy singing about car crashes as much as I do! Amy x ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
