Source Tags And Codes chords by And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

Chords with lyrics

i was surprised to see nobody had tabbed one of the greatest songs off the greatest
of a great band!
this tab lies somewhere between chords and tabs, as its goal is a balance between
ease of play,
and sounding sweet on a single guitar even though the full arrangement has like two
and a piano
and some bells and god knows what else.

INTRO x 2

  E minorEm
e||----0-------0---------0-------0---------------------||
BB||-------------------------1--------------------------||
G+G||-020-020-020-020---020-020-020-020------------------||
D MajorD||2-2---2---2--222--2-2---2---2--222------------------||
A augmentedA||3-3---3---3--333--2-2---2---2--222------------------||
E MajorE||------------------0-0---0---0--000------------------||

notes: the timing of the main riff (G+G 020 e0 G020) is accurate, but feel free to strum
rest of the chords out
(EA and EAD) as you please. The E minorEm carries into the beginning of the verse.

VERSE 1 x2

  FF
e||--------x-------------------------------------------||
BB||1-------0-------------------------------------------||
G+G||0-------0-------7-------2---------------------------||
D MajorD||x-------0-------7-------x---------------------------||
A augmentedA||3-------x-------8-------3---------------------------||
E MajorE||--------3-------6-------1---------------------------||

   G+G
This city has lost a certain holds inside
  FF
It feels so worn being chained here to this life
   G+G
I've been around and seen one hundred scenes
   A#M7
Where those who dare to tread the wheel
FF
One day find out what's behind that hill

notes: A#A# is perfectly fine too, i just have a weakness for major 7ths.

INTRO x 1 (make sure you start the intro right after you start singing "hill"--listen to
song for the timing)

VERSE 2

   G+G
Spend half a life deciding what went wrong
FF
Trying to find out what took you so long
 G+G
Until you feel it's all part of some crazy scheme
  A#M7
It conjures in your memories 'til
  FF
You discover what's behind that

CHORUS x3 (only sing the first time)

  G+G
e||3-------3-------3-------0 or 3---------------------||
BB||0-------0-------1-------0--------------------------||
G+G||2-------0-------2-------0 or 2---------------------||
D MajorD||2-------2-------x-------0--------------------------||
A augmentedA||0-------2-------3-------x--------------------------||
E MajorE||0-------0-------1-------1--------------------------||

G+G
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill

notes: the alternate G+G versions all sound pretty good, so choose whatever you think is best.

INTRO x 1

VERSE 3

  G+G
You picked me up and we went for a drive
FF
Into the stained glass cavern of the night
  G+G
You turn to say, your eyes fixed on the rows
A#M7
Take me from this place I know
  FF
The ruined landscapes that I once called

CHORUS x4 (only sing the first time)

G+G
hoooooooooooooooooome

BRIDGE x3

  FF
e||--0-----0----3-0---3-0------------------------------||
BB||---31----31--1--31-1--31----------------------------||
G+G||2-----2------2-----2--------------------------------||
D MajorD||0-----0------x-----x--------------------------------||
A augmentedA||0-----0------3-----3--------------------------------||
E MajorE||-------------1-----1--------------------------------||

notes: on the third repetition, play the FF part four times instead of two. people who
trouble with picking the
FF portion might want to try simply playing D MajorD (x00210) F(13x213)

INTRO x2

notes: this time, only repeat the C majorC half of the intro four times, and play a bit slower.

VERSE 4

for the last verse, you can change the chords to:

  FM7
e||3-------3-------8-------3---------------------------||
BB||1-------0-------6-------1---------------------------||
G+G||0-------0-------x-------x---------------------------||
D MajorD||x-------0-------7-------2---------------------------||
A augmentedA||3-------x-------8-------3---------------------------||
E MajorE||--------3-------6-------1---------------------------||

 G+G
I don't know what in this world is trying to save me
     FM7
But I can feel its hand and it's guiding me in sign
    C majorC
From lives I've tried to lead
    G+G
To the one that I received
   A#M7
Each painted sign along the road
    FM7
Will melt away in source tags and in

notes: start out a bit slower, as in the preceding intro, but gradually speed up until
reach normal tempo near the end
of the verse.

CHORUS

G+G
coooooooooooooooooodes
G+G
coooooooooooooooooodes
G+G
coooooooooooooooooodes
G+G

D MajorD (x00210)
