Tabbed by: devin miller Email: * Tuning: Standard EADGBe **Capotraste 3rd fret** I know the chord names change with a capo, but i'll name them as if there was no Capotraste (for obvious reasons).

C G Am C G Am I wander these steep hills into the grey light. C G Am C G Am My fingers collapse around my pen like a soldier trying to hold up the flag. C G Am C G Am I'm calling out once again in this letter to you my friend. C Em Am In this letter to you my friend. C Em Am In this letter to you my friend! C Em Am F7 C Em Am F7 Don't tell me you've been coming up easy, stop, drop, your life is greasy. C Em Am F7 C Em You used to say that you would come around. Am F7 F7 G7 But you're never here. --------------CHORUS-------------- C' G' Am' You have been, up above, so high, so high, so high, C' G' Am' And lived in the dirt. C' G' Am' You have felt some love. C' G' Am' And you have been hurt. --------------REPEAT-INTRO-------------- --------------VERSE AND CHORUS-------------- Well I've gone to show you my road, With a fist full of matches, but nothing to strike. And as we walk along the cove you know that this is right. Well you may think I'm crazy! You may think I'm foolish! But I'm coming through the lightning. Coming back to you. Don't tell me you've been coming up easy, stop, drop, your life is greasy. You used to say that you would come around. But you're never here. You have been, up above, so high, so high, so high, And lived in the dirt. You have felt some love. And you have been hurt. --------------BRIDGE-------------- Dm Dm C G Am Am F7 F7 (play this riff over singing) Oh my my my my my my my. I'm feelin' fine. Oh my my my my my my my. I'm comin' through. Dm Dm C G Am F7 G7 Oh my my my my my my my, Oh my my my my my, yes... --------------REPEAT-CHORUS-------------- --------------GUITAR-SOLO-------------- e|------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--5-------------------5-------------------------------------------| D|--5-------------------7-----------------------------------5-------| A|--3-------3-5/7-------7-----------5----------------5---7----7-7---| E|--3---3h5-------5-----5----5-7-8-------3---5---7-8----------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------5---------| --------------------4-5p4-----4-------------------------5---------| ----------------7---------7-5---7-5---------------------5---------| --3-------3-5/7---------------------3-------3-5/7-------7---------| ------3h5-------------------------------3h5-------5-----5---------| --3-----------------------------3-----------------3---------------| --3h5-3---3--3-3-5--3---3--3-3--3h5-3---3--3-3-5--5-3-3--3-3------| --------5-4--5-4------5-4--5-4--------5-4--5-4--------5--4-5------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| --3------------3-3--3-3-3-------3------------3-3--3---------------| --3h5-3---3--3-3-5--3-5-3--3-3--3h5-3---3--3-3-5--5---------------| --------5-4--5-------------5-4--------5-4--5----------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------4-5-7-5-4-----------------7-5-4-----------| ------5------7------5-7-----------------5------7--------7-5-7-7br-| --5-7----5-7----5h7-----------------5-7----5-7--------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------4-5-7-5-4----------------------2br--------| ------5------7------5-7-----------7-------5------7----------------| --5-7----5-7----5h7-------------------5-7----5-7------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------OUTRO-------------- ^ e|------3-------3--0-------------------------------------------------| B|--1---0------x-------1-0h1p0--------------------------------1------| G|--0---0-----x---------------2-2p0---0-------0---------2-----2------| D|--2---0----x----------------------2-----------2p0-----2-----2------| A|--3---2---x-----------------------------0h2-------2---0-----0------| E|------3------------------------------------------------------------| (the dead notes up to the 3 mean to strum up the muted notes to the 3) | ^ staccato (hit sharp, don't let ring) | / slide up | h hammer-on | br bend, release | p pull-off | x dead note =====================================================================
