My first tab
I couldn't find any chords or tabs on the song so I went ahead and figured out how to
play it with chords
Might not be completely accurate but it still sounds great to play
Standard Tuning
CAPO : 4th Fret
Not sure what the chord names are so I'll just call them by what they would be if they
were played without a capo
CHORDS:
E | Gm? | Am | C | Em | ? | P |
e|--0--|--2--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--x--|
B|--0--|--2--|--1--|--1--|--0--|--0--|--x--|
G|--1--|--2--|--2--|--0--|--0--|--2--|--x--|
D|--2--|--4--|--2--|--2--|--2--|--1--|--x--|
A|--2--|--4--|--0--|--3--|--2--|--2--|--x--|
E|--0--|--2--|--0--|--3--|--0--|--0--|--x--|
Intro:
It sounds best if you just play the low E string to imitate the bass then as the song
progresses start playing the A as well then the D and just keep adding in the next strings
until you're playing the full chords
E
I can explain why I cannot give my heart back
Gm E
I left it with my Lady Blue
E
What was her name? She flew in, I caught her
Gm E
I was a fool to let her go
E Gm
She goes, she goes with her hollow bones
E
She goes
E
Every year she's back for the season
Gm E
I have to keep my windows closed
E
I couldn't shake what my mother warned me of
Gm E
Try to keep me safe between the pews
E
I stepped away, saw that Love was outside
Gm E
She wore a name, just a different one
They all say
P (Just palm mute and play along to the clapping and chains and stuff)
I'm sorry boy, you shouldn't fly with her kind
They found a way out of God's love
Bridge:
E-Em-E-Em
E Em E
She goes, shes goes with her hollow bones
Em
Keepin it pretty is gettin pretty old
E Em
Keepin it pretty is gettin pretty old
?
It's getting pretty old
Am C
Round and round we go, we go around
Am ?
Round and round we go, she wont stay dead
Stay down

Bridge:
Em-?-Em-?
Em ?
There's an awful lot of holes I gotta dig
Em ?
When I know you're gonna climb back up again
Stay dead, stay down
Em ?
Stay dead, stay down
Em ?
Stay across the sea, but I know where you'll be
Am C
When I look around and round we go, we go around
Am ?(strum once then mute)
Round and round we go, she won't stay dead
Stay down
Guitar solo:
Em-?-Em-?
Em
Lady you're a lure, dancing on the bar
?
Oh-ho, you know you are
Em
You call em' to the door, hookem' in the jaw
?
Just for tonight, right?
Em
But maybe when you're bored with the easy caught
?
And when I can't afford another empty touch
11/13 9/11 7/9 6/8
Maybe then we'll board our ships with a couple of crashing hearts
NOTE:This is meant to be interpreted without a capo
