Chords with lyrics
These are the tabs and chords to the best of my ability for Linkin Park's "Final Masquerade" from the acoustic performance at the LPU Summit in New York. https://www.youtube.com/watch v=hmqsKtYBuuM (not my video) Capo on the third fret. Brad plays the FF chord with using his first finger on the high e and BB strings, and his thumb on the low E MajorE string. So if you don't like barre chords, or aren't good at them (I was terrible until recently), you could avoid it. I barre it because it takes less thinking for me. I am going to tab with the chord on top and the strumming pattern below (down=v; up=^) Intro: A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC e|---0-----------0---0-----------0---0-----------0---0-----------0---| BB|---1-----------1---1-----------1---1-----------1---1-----------1---| G+G|---2-----------0---0-----------0---2-----------0---0-----------0---| D MajorD|---2-----------0---2-----------0---2-----------0---2-----------0---| A augmentedA|---0-----------2---3-----------2---0-----------2---3-----------2---| E MajorE|---x-----------x---x-----------x---x-----------x---x-----------x---| vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC e|---0-----------0---0-----------0---0-----------0---0-----------0---| BB|---1-----------1---1-----------1---1-----------1---1-----------1---| G+G|---2-----------0---0-----------0---2-----------0---0-----------0---| D MajorD|---2-----------0---2-----------0---2-----------0---2-----------0---| A augmentedA|---0-----------2---3-----------2---0-----------2---3-----------2---| E MajorE|---x-----------x---x-----------x---x-----------x---x-----------x---| vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ Verse 1: A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC e|---0-----------0---0-----------0---0-----------0---0-----------0---| BB|---1-----------1---1-----------1---1-----------1---1-----------1---| G+G|---2-----------0---0-----------0---2-----------0---0-----------0---| D MajorD|---2-----------0---2-----------0---2-----------0---2-----------0---| A augmentedA|---0-----------2---3-----------2---0-----------2---3-----------2---| E MajorE|---x-----------x---x-----------x---x-----------x---x-----------x---| vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC e|---0-----------0---0-----------0---0-----------0---0---------------| BB|---1-----------1---1-----------1---1-----------1---1---------------| G+G|---2-----------0---0-----------0---2-----------0---0---------------| D MajorD|---2-----------0---2-----------0---2-----------0---2---------------| A augmentedA|---0-----------2---3-----------2---0-----------2---3---------------| E MajorE|---x-----------x---x-----------x---x-----------x---x---------------| vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ FF C majorC G+G E MajorE e|---1---------------0---------------3---------------0---------------| BB|---1---------------1---------------3---------------0---------------| G+G|---2---------------0---------------0---------------1---------------| D MajorD|---3---------------2---------------0---------------2---------------| A augmentedA|---3---------------3---------------2---------------2---------------| E MajorE|---1---------------0---------------3---------------0---------------| vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vvvv vvvv Chorus 1: FF C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G e|---1---------------0---------------3---------------0-----------3---| BB|---1---------------1---------------3---------------1-----------3---| G+G|---2---------------0---------------0---------------2-----------0---| D MajorD|---3---------------2---------------0---------------2-----------0---| A augmentedA|---3---------------3---------------2---------------0-----------2---| E MajorE|---1---------------0---------------3---------------x-----------3---| v v v vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ FF C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G e|---1---------------0---------------3---------------0-----------3---| BB|---1---------------1---------------3---------------1-----------3---| G+G|---2---------------0---------------0---------------2-----------0---| D MajorD|---3---------------2---------------0---------------2-----------0---| A augmentedA|---3---------------3---------------2---------------0-----------2---| E MajorE|---1---------------0---------------3---------------x-----------3---| vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^ vv^

The final chorus has just one strum on the first FF and C, then the first G+G is strummed lightly. If you are like me and you are just learning guitar or aren't very good and have trouble with fast chord changes, you could take out the variation between the A minorAm and C majorC in the intro and verse, and you could skip the G+G between the A minorAm and FF in the chorus and bridges. That's how I played it at first, also with this strumming pattern: vv^ vv^ vv^ v^v^; and it all sounded fine. Below, I'm going to put up the chords with the lyrics. Intro: A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC Verse: A minorAm C majorC Tearing me apart with words you wouldn't say A minorAm C majorC And suddenly tomorrow's a moment washed away FF C majorC 'Cause I don't have a reason, and you don't have the time G+G E MajorE But we both keep on waiting for something we won't find Chorus: FF C majorC The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday G+G A minorAm With shadow's floating over, the scars begin to fade G+G FF C majorC We said it was forever, but then it slipped away G+G A minorAm Standing at the end of the final masquerade G+G A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC The final masquerade Verse: A minorAm C majorC All I ever wanted, the secrets that you keep A minorAm C majorC All you ever wanted, the truth I couldn't speak FF C majorC 'Cause I can't see forgiveness, and you can't see the crime G+G E MajorE But we both keep on waiting for something we won't find Chorus: FF C majorC The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday G+G A minorAm With shadow's floating over, the scars begin to fade G+G FF C majorC We said it was forever, but then it slipped away G+G A minorAm Standing at the end of the final masquerade G+G FF C majorC The final masquerade, the final masquerade G+G A minorAm G+G Standing at the end of the final masquerade Bridge: FF C majorC G+G A minorAm Final Chorus: G+G FF C majorC The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday G+G A minorAm With shadow's floating over, the scars begin to fade G+G FF C majorC We said it was forever, but then it slipped away G+G A minorAm Standing at the end of the final masquerade G+G FF C majorC Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh G+G A minorAm Standing at the end of the final masquerade G+G FF C majorC Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh G+G A minorAm Standing at the end of the final masquerade G+G F* *One last final strum (let it ring)
