NOTES
If you can do it comfortably, I recommend holding the "D" shape between A augmentedA and BdimBdim and
sliding between the two.
During the bridge you may like to drop the high E MajorE string when playing the D MajorD chord
occasionally. It's also fun
during this section to use the power chord (577xxx) version of A, so that you can slide
back into the E.
If you try and play along with the video, then you'll realise Kevin is using an
alternate tuning (I don't know what). If anyone can enlighten me then that would be
great and I'll update this page.
This song is really fun to play, enjoy!
PS Good luck with the "woo" parts.
A augmentedA BdimBdim
When I was a boy,
A augmentedA BdimBdim
I dreamt like a man
B minorBm
I knew something was coming
E MajorE
And I should be waiting
A augmentedA BdimBdim
I was assured
A augmentedA BdimBdim
The ground wouldn't hold
B minorBm
All those nights in my bunk bed
E MajorE Riff 1
Learning to float
D MajorD Riff 1
That's how I got here
D MajorD A augmentedA Riff 1
With a broken nose
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
And a skeptic's eye
E MajorE
I earned every night
A augmentedA BdimBdim
Woooooo
A augmentedA BdimBdim
Woooooo
A augmentedA BdimBdim (linger after strumming this chord)
Up on that hill
F#F# D MajorD
At a sniper's remove
B minorBm
My lightning & arrows
E MajorE Riff 1
My burden of proof
D MajorD Riff 1
I made my mind up
D MajorD A augmentedA Riff 1
At least I think I did
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
I could never be sure
E MajorE
All these voices at war
F#F# D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
F#F#
I blocked the one road
D MajorD
Locked every gate closed
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
I papered over the bridge
F#F#
And then I found out
D MajorD
My heart's a bloodhound
E MajorE E7E7 Riff 1
Always searching, always searching
D MajorD Riff 1
That's how you got here
D MajorD A augmentedA Riff 1
Despite my best design
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
I picked up your scent,
E MajorE
And I let you sneak in.

Woooooooo | Repeat four times
