I--3-------------------------I E I----------------------------I Lyrics(only to verse as chorus and bridge are above) 1 Verse:- libraries gave us power then work came and made us free At what price now For a shallow piece of dignity 2Verse:- I wish I had a bottle right here in my dirty face to wear the scars to show from where i came 3 verse:- I wish i had a bottle Right here in my pretty face to wear the scars to show from where i came Listening to the record will help to tell you where to sing in the verse. Also there is this high pitched pinging every verse this can be done on the guitar at the 15th fret on the High e string. Whenever James does this live instead of picking after the dignity/came bit(at the end of every verse) he strums Cmaj7 heavily. The chords above the tab are what rhythm guitar would play/the overall sound of each one.
