Standard Tuning Strum Pattern Down, Down Up, Up Down up (repeat)
This is my first try at translating the song to tab. There were no other versions yet since it
is a new song by the Headstones. It's a great tune and I hope it sounds right! The strum pattern
changes in a couple of places but seems the same for most of the song.
E E E E
For a century now I've been waiting
E E E E
With a photograph of life I'd painted
G D A E
Spent the last year contemplating just what it means to me
G D A E E E
Seperated fact from fiction now I can finally breathe
E E E E
Like a sentry guard I've been so patient
E E E E
With this photgraph of the world I'd painted
G
It's colourless
D
Humourless
A E
Hateful by degrees
G D
Towerin' over the days of sunshine
A E E E
It's just a part of me
E E E E
Now Salvadore's salivating
E E E E
Watching the clock and the time I've taken
G D
If he had it his way he'd go first
A E
And drink champagne and toast my thirst
G D
There is a reason why we'll step in front
A
and raise my voice I can't
E
Hold my tongue
G D A E Repeat x4
***SOLO***
E E E E
I pick myself up off the pavement
E E E E
With a photograph of time I'd painted
G D
I thought everyone of those pixelations
A E
Was a language I couldn't speak
G D
And all those years of remedial readin'
A E
Had made a fool of me
G
It was colourless
D
Humourless
A E
Hateful by degrees
G
See the more I learned
D
The less I knew
A
But now I can finally
E
Finally breathe
G
It was colourless
D
Humourless
A E
Just a part of me
G D
Towerin' over the days of sunshine
A E
So I could hardly see
G
It was colourless
D
Humourless
A E
Hateful by degrees
G D
I thought everyone of those pixelations
A
Was a language I couldn't
E
Couldn't speak
G
It was colourless
D
Humourless
A E
An inconvenient part of me
G D
I seperated fact from fiction
A E
So that I could finally breathe
G
It was colourless
D
Humourless
A E
Hateful by degrees
G D
Towerin' over the days of sunshine
A E
So I could hardly see
G
Colourless
D
Humourless
A E
Just a part of me
G
The more I learned
D
The less I knew
A
Now I can finally
E E E E E Fade
Finally breathe
