This is how I play the song. Suggestions and corrections welcome!
And since the song is basically the same as The Moon (by the Microphones),
I'll just use Josh Sharp's (killthelight on U-G) tab from here and write out all the lyrics and chords as well.
I tried to be accurate to the recorded version from the Dawn album, but really the fingerpicking
and chords are pretty interchangeable for the whole song.
(Intro:)
(1)
e----------------------| |--------------------------|
B----------------------| |--------------------------|
G-------2--------------| x3,then |--------------------------|
D----0------0----------| |-----------0--------------|
A-2--------------------| |--0--2--4-----------------|
E----------------------| |--------------------------|
(2)
e----------------------|
B----------------------|
G-------2--------------| x4
D----0------0----------|
A----------------------|
E-3--------------------|
(repeat three times)
(for the verse, continue the finger picking, i'll use 1 as the first part and 2 as the second)
(there's no need to add the extra fill at the end of number 1, just pick pattterns 1 and 2 four times each)
1
And when I talked to my friends
2
And found out that you're having fun
That you're swallowing life
1
That you're in the sun
That you're fucking around
2
That you're growing a new one
1
I bellow out my voice
2
I yell out loud
1
I have my shirt off in front of a crowd
2
I tell em about you, and how you're gone, you're gone, you're gone, you're gone,
1
You're gone x4
2
You're gone x4
1
You're gone x4
2
You're gone x4
Bm
But in my lying
G Bm
Don't I have you in my mind the entire time
G
Yeah, I can leave all the places we went
1
But I can't leave without my bones you bent
2
So I hobble along
1
And now it's me who's gone
2 1
And now it's me who has your fear of opening hearts
2
And all the false starts we could tear hope apart
1
With all this deep gouging and biting back
2
With the way that you get all my friends in the sack
Bm
Whats left?
G
I scream when I look up at night
Bm G
Where the novelty has worn off of the blue moonlight
Bm 2
Who cares? and I roll on the ground
Bm 2 Bm
What gives? and there's no answering sound
2 Bm
And there's nobody around
G note (3rd fret top string)
And there my answer was found
