Raise Hell
Brandi Carlile
The studio version of this song will probably sound a bit different than the
one I heard on YouTube, especially since this is an acoustic version. The
lyrics might not me right either. Here's the link to the video I tabbed it from:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9mIFBpgyPE
I didn't find it necessary to tab the song for two guitars, 'cause the part
Tim plays is just like Brandi's except he plays some of the chords higher up
the neck. The song is very straight forward, but I put both Brandi's and
Tim's chords below just in case. And also Tim's riff and solo.
Notes:
As far as I can see in the videos I've found on YouTube they play an F#, but you may as
well play F#m.
(s) = strum
(sm) = strum then mute
* = riff
The parts that says "no guitar" sounds good with a bit of muted strumming.
When playing Tim's solo and riff, mute the strings you're not playing.
Brandi plays the first verse alone, except for when Tim plays the riff.

Bm E Bm D6add9
I've been down with a broken heart since the day I learned to speak
Bm E Bm D6add9
The devil gave me a crooked start when he gave me crooked feet
Bm E Bm D6add9
But Gabriel he came to me and kissed me in my sleep
Bm(sm) Bm*
And now he's singing like an angel un-til I'm six feet deep
Bm D6add9 Bm D6add9
Verse 1:
Bm E Bm D6add9
I found myself an old man and tattooed on a sign
Bm E Bm D6add9
I set my mind a-wanderin' and walk a crooked line
Bm E Bm D6add9
And you had in mind to keep me quiet and although you can try
Bm(sm) F#(sm) Bm
Better men have hit their knees and bigger men have died

Verse 2:
Bm E Bm D6add9
I came upon a lightning strike and eyes of bright clear blue

I took his tie from around my neck and gave my heart to you

I sent my love across the sea and though I didn't cry

That voice will haunt my every dream un-til the day I die
