This is my first guitar tab - I noticed there wasn't one around for this song. I don't think I have the whole thing exactly right - in the second verse, I think the progression changes for a while, and then it goes back to the original. I don't know the second progression though - a youtube video by user Simon Smith (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Brxw48oP0) has some suggestions, but I couldn't get his version to work with the lyrics. So please, if you can correct this - go ahead! In the meantime, this is the version I use, and it actually works for the whole song. P.S. There's a great cover of this song by this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv3yCHdI-hk The Little Unsaid - he uses a capo on the 5th fret and does a lot of quick finger picking, so I'm not exactly sure how he plays it, but it's great if you are looking for an acoustic rendition.
Standard Tuning Intro: Gm F Gm F Eb Dm x2 Now, the actual riff that you hear is based on those chords. So when you see Gm, this is the riff that is being played: Gm: e-------------------------------- b---------------11-11--10-------- g-------------------------12----- d-------------------------------- a--10---10-10-10----------------- E-------------------------------- Then you switch to F: e-------------------------------- b-------------10-10--8----------- g----------------------10-------- d-------------------------------- a--8--8-8-8---------------------- E-------------------------------- Eb goes like this: e-------------------------------- b-------------8-8--6------------- g--------------------8----------- d-------------------------------- a--6--6-6-6---------------------- E-------------------------------- And then you end with Dm: e-------------------------------- b-------------6-6--5------------- g--------------------7----------- d-------------------------------- a--5--5-5-5---------------------- E-------------------------------- Verse 1: Gm F Look out of the window Gm F What's passing you by Eb Dm If you really want this? Gm F bad enough. Gm F You're young and good-looking Eb Dm The keys to the kingdom Gm F Gm F Chorus: Eb Dm Gm Soon or laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaater F Gm Soon or laaaaaaaaater F Eb Soon or laaaaaaaaater Dm Gm And before your very eyes F Gm And before your very eyes F Eb Dm And before your very eyes (here's where the chord progression changes, but I don't know how, I think this works too: Verse 2 (version 1): Gm F Old soul on young shoulders Gm F How you'll look when you're older Eb Dm Time's fickle card game Gm F With you and I Gm F You have to take your chances Eb Dm The book of forgiveness Gm F Gm F Chorus: Eb Dm Gm Soon or laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaater F Gm Soon or laaaaaaaaater F Eb Soon or laaaaaaaaater Dm Gm And before your very eyes F Gm And before your very eyes F Eb Dm And before your very eyes (x2) OK, so here's the way Verse 2 could be: Verse 2 (version 2): Eb Dm Old soul on young shoulders Eb Dm How you'll look when you're older Cm Dm Time's fickle card game Cm With you and I Eb Dm You have to take your chances Eb Dm The book of forgiveness Cm Dm Cm Bbmaj
