Frightened Face

With your sad scream

Chorus:

  E/B5                E/A5    C#5
C'mon let's leave our misery
    E/B5                  E/A5
And crawl t'ward where we wanna be, 
         G#m   E/A5           G#m    E/A5
Can't we try?        Can't we try?
  E/B5                E/A5        C#5
C'mon sleep one night peacefully
    E/B5              E/A5
And all your (?????) easily...


I've only tabbed out the basics, but figuring out the outro guitar part up 
until around the 10 minute mark shouldn't be too hard once you know the tuning; 
after that I think it's anyone's guess. For the strum pattern and phrasing just 
listen to the record. If you play this on your own without a bass to give the 
chords a fuller shape you'll want to strum the bracketed notes in the chorus. 
Um. Yeah. Any questions or anything feel free to e-mail me. Tom.
