WEIGHT IN GOLD - Gallant
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:ndermawan
Tuning: Standard
One of my favourite jams! Forgive me if the timing is not 100% clear/correct,
it was a damn hard song to figure out to be honest.
I've been working on this since ages and put it on the shelf when I couldn't get
it right, but have just been motivated to complete it, since I've seen other people
submit their versions of it (I wanted to be first and thought no one would tab it) :<
So here it is. Hope it does justice.

The biggest thing I'm unsure about is the G#G# chords during the chorus.
It works as is; but I can listen and tell that it is not perfect
- just can't seem to figure out what chord it is exactly, sadly.
If you know please comment! And don't forget to rate if it helped :)
For the intro, the whole hammer on + pulloff lick from 0-7s happens very fast,
you can probably ignore the hammer on, and just do the pulloff from fret 7 to 6
on the BB string instead.

FULL LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Black dust in orbit, cascades down like a parachute
Bricks on my shoulders, this gravity hurts when you know the truth
[Chorus]
I?m pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can?t lift this on my own
Pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can?t lift this on my own
[Verse 2]
We dreamt like martyrs, I never thought I was bold enough
You pushed me further, and I take the blame for the both of us
[Chorus]
I?m pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can?t lift this on my own
Pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can?t lift this on my own
[Bridge]
Oh, Universe, hold me up
You tried your best, is it ever enough
When it?s already dragging me down?
[Chorus]
I?m pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can?t lift this on my own
Pulling my weight in gold
Call me anxious, call me broke
But I can?t lift this on my own
