Transcontinental
This is a hybrid tab concocted from a few live versions (so if you want to play
along with the album, drop down a whole step).
There's a few variations in the way he plays this.
As a duo or band there's more power/muted chords.
When he's solo, the chords are more open.
This frankenstein tab is bits of both. Lots of chord changes, so rate this as intermediate.
D/B = 7x077x
D/A = x0077x or 5x077x
G = 3x003x on the chorus. On the verse go barred like a brute cake.
A/7sus4 = x02030
Bbdim = x1232x
G/F# = 255xxx
D Bm F#m G A#
Engine severs lower legs, I feel my bruised heart beating -
D Bm F#m G A#
Spinal cord remains in tact, still sending and receiving -
D/B D/A G D
Laying back on shoulder blades, cargo rushing past
D/B D/A G A/7sus4
Missing limbs beneath the cars, twitching on the tracks
D/F# G E A Bbdim D/B G
Click clack, now handicapped, north am transcontinental -
D Bm F#m G - A - A# - C
D Bm A - Asus7 - A G A#
I remember as I bleed, certain tales of bravery -
D Bm F#m G A#
A man who's legs were crushed beneath, a fallen evergreen tree
D/B D/A G D
He decided he would chop them off above the knee
D/B D/A G A7sus4
To sacrifice his shins and feet, to make his torso free
Em Bm G F#m F
The luxury of having been spared the hard part -
Em Bm G A - Asus7 - A
You'd think would be enough for me to pull this off
D/F# G E A Bdim
But I'm left to bleed to death - Now
D/B D/A G G/F#
all the man I've ever been -
Em A A# - C - D
North am transcontinental.
