Bloodline
Tab by Brian Ramirez
Standard tuning
This is my first tab but Im 90% sure this is correct.
The only questionable parts are the intro, the second chord in the bridge and
maybe a part in the chorus.
Here are the weird chords I use
Bb/F#m Db/Bm Ab/A
-2----------2-------------X
-2----------X-------------2
-2----------4-------------2
-4----------4-------------2
-4----------4-------------X
-4----------X-------------4

Verse:
D A F#m Bm
Rolling around a lifetime on a name that spells my past

Carried through the mile markers up towards some last laugh

And if fools could only prosper, I'm afraid what they might say
D A Em A
From a podium built on generations bleeding what they make
Chorus:
F#m (Bb/F#m)
Because here it comes

Watch them all jump right in

Tell me, how could you refuse to float with the rest of them?

You were born into it, there's no shame if you drift

Down the bloodline
Interlude: D A G F#m
Verse 2:
D A F#m Bm
Feeling temperamental underneath a broker sun
D A Em A
A certificate of excellence, but no proof on your pay stub

And if money's now a problem, I suggest you best believe

There's ten dollars on the table, and a million up his sleeve
Chorus 2:
F#m (Bb/F#m)
And here they come,
Bm
watch them all pass us by

Tell me how could you refuse to look one in the eye?
Em G
Two sheets to the wind all over again
D A
Down the bloodline
D A
Down the bloodline
Bridge:
F#m (Bb/F#m) Bm
Yes, it feels scary to be ordinary

In a world that don't know your name

It would not be weird if I just disappeared

Blowing my back out, trying to hold my weight

Verse 3:
D A F#m Bm
Looking for a doctor with a cure for a broke heart
D A Em A
Seems I spent it all on a miracle just to watch it fall apart
D A F#m Bm
Now there's no room for ill-complaining, I know it's all just what it is
D A Em A
Cherry-pick my best believers and send them off with a kiss
Chorus 3:
F#m (Bb/F#m)
Because there they go
Bm
Watch them all wave goodbye

Tell me how could you refuse to think it's a wonderful life?

Two sheets to the wind all over again

Down the bloodline

Down the bloodline
D A
Down the bloodline

I’ll probably tab the solo in the future but for now, enjoy!
