Song: Fader
Artist: The Temper Trap
Tabbed by: Lee Pethers (leepethers@googlemail.com)
Slight modification to the other tab I saw. Theres an important Bm chord in this song,
theres actually 5 chords and not 4. I've also thrown in a tab for the solo which is
accurate I think.
A: x02220
D: xx0323
G: 320033
Em: 022022
Bm: x24432
A Bm
I'm in transit
G Em
floating stranded on this boat
A Bm
and I pledge myself allegiance
G D
to a better night sleep at home
A Bm
and the sweet sweet sun's comin’ down hard
G
the sun's comin’ down hard
Em
it burns the bones
A
so hold a hand for cover
Bm
hold a hand for cover
G
hold a hand for cover from harm
A Bm G
woooohoo wooooohoo woooohoo hoo
A
talk don't change a thing
A Bm G
woooohoo wooooohoo woooohoo hoo
A
oh, it's fading fader
[repeat for the next part]
woo oo oo...
words don't sink they swims
oh, it's fading fader

A Bm
bless this mess
G
we tried our best
Em
that's all that we can do
A
while the angels walk
Bm
with the lonely ones
G D
in the cold rain to rescue you
A Bm
and this fable world's comin’ down hard
G
the wall's comin’ down hard
Em
on all our homes
A
so hold a hand for cover
Bm
hold a hand for cover
G
hold a hand for cover from harm
[repeat chorus with same chords as before]
Solo: Play twice with slight distortion
