But every time you play Am you pick it in a certain pattern and same goes for C and Em. So I'll show you how you pick each chord and then just type the lyrics with chord names above them. Whenever there's Am in the song you play it like this: Am E|------0-------0-------0-------------| B|----------3-------1-------0---------| G|----2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---| D|------------------------------2-----| A|--0---------------------------------| E|------------------------------------| Whenever there's C in the song you play it like this: C E|------0-------0-------0-------------| B|----------3-------1-------0---------| G|----0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---| D|------------------------------2-----| A|--3---------------------------------| E|------------------------------------| And whenever there's Em in the song you play it like this: Em E|------0-------0-------0-------------| B|----------3-------1-------0---------| G|----0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---| D|------------------------------2-----| A|------------------------------------| E|--0---------------------------------| OK, here comes the song: INTRO: ------ Play Am picking pattern four times VERSE 1: -------- Am Rows of houses, all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me Em all these things in all positions Am all these things will one day take control C Em Am and fade out again C Em and fade out VERSE 2: -------- This machine will, will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under be a world child form a circle before we all, go under and fade out again and fade out again BRIDGE: ------- C Mmmm, mmm, mmmm Em Mmmm, mm, mmm [something like that :)] Am Mmm, mmm, mmm Am Mmm, mmm, mmm C Mmmm, mmm, mmmm Em Mmmm, mm, mmm Now when the 3rd verse starts, another guitar starts playing. I've seen them play this in concert and the other guitar has a capo on the 12th fret. Here comes the tab, and all fret numbers are relative to the capo. Am E|-------0--------| B|-1-0-------0-1--| On the first Am in the third verse G|-----2---2------| play this four times. D|----------------| A|----------------| E|----------------| Em E|----------------| B|-1--0----1-0----| G|------0------0--| First Em in third verse, play this 2 times. D|----------------| A|----------------| E|----------------| Am [second Am] E|-------0----------------0--------| B|-1-0-------0-1----1-0-----1-0----| G|-----2---2------------2-------0--| D|---------------------------------| A|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------| C Em E|---------------------------------| B|-1-0-------0-1----1-0-------0-1--| G|-----0---0------------0---0------| D|-------2----------------2--------| A|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------| Am E|-------0----------------0--------| B|-1-0-----1-0------1-0-----1-0----| G|-----2-------2--------2-------2--| D|---------------------------------| A|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------| C Em E|---------------------------------| B|-1-0-------0-1----1-0-------0-1--| G|-----0---0------------0---0------| D|-------2----------------2--------| A|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------| Am E|-------0-------------------------| B|-1-0-----1-0------1-0------------| G|-----2-------2--------2-0---0-2--| D|--------------------------2------| A|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------| OK, that is the whole picking pattern. And remember, capo on 12th fret. VERSE 3: -------- Am Cracked eggs dead birds scream as they fight for life I can feel death can see its beady eyes Em all these things into frution Am all these things we'll one day swallow whole C Em Am and fade out again C Em Am and fade out again The second guitar in the outro plays the same pattern as in verse 3. The C Em are always the same but the Am has slight variations. It's not difficult to hear. Anyway, I think they're all tabbed out in the tab for verse 3. Just look and you'll find the Am picking patterns. OUTRO: ------ C Mmmm, mmm, mmmm Em Mmmm, mm, mmm Am Mmm, mmm, mmm Am Mmm, mmm, mmm C Mmmm, mmm, mmmm Em Mmmm, mm, mmm Am Mmm, mmm, mmm Am Mmm, mmm, mmm C Em Am Immerse your soul in love C Em Am Immerse your soul in love [end by playing Am picking pattern once] ********************************************************************** Questions, comments, corrections, requests, send to: qualitytabs@qualitytabs.tk ********************************************************************** Visit the QUALITY TABS INC.
