I was looking through the site and I couldn't find a tab for this song so I decided to
to learn it by ear! (This is the first tab I've done so I apologise if it's hard to understand)
Tuning: Standard EADGBe (No capo needed)
(First Verse)
Key:
x = Mute or Don't play that string.
The chords your going to need here are just:
C - x32010
Em - 022000
Am - x02210
It basically goes:
C Em Am
I don't need to know,
C Em Am
Why the oceans blue or how the flowers grow.
C Em Am
I don't need to live,
C Em Am C
Waiting on someone to forgive me for my sins.
Em Am
Like my father before me,
C Em Am
I'm a working man, a working man.
C Em Am
But I don't need to believe,
C Em Am
In the something that won't save my sanity.
NOTE: When you hear a slight variation whilst Dallas is strumming the Am chord it is this:
|-0-0-0-0-| (On the 4th repetition): |-0-0-0-0-|
|-1-1-1-1-| |-1-1-1-1-|
|-2-2-2-2-| |-2-2-2-0-|
|-2-2-0-2-| x4 |-2-2-0-2-| (Basically just merge it into the
C)
|-0-0-0-0-| |-0-0-0-3-|
|-x-x-x-x-| |-x-x-x-x-|
Key:
x = Mute or Don't play that string.
(Chorus)
The chorus is incredibly easy all you need is:
G - 320033
Am - x02210
NOTE: After the last Am you play during the verse you basically strum x00000 twice
the first word in the chorus (No) then play the G chord. (If you can reach it you can play an
or you can just go straight into the G if you want)
But the chorus is just:
G
No I don't need I don't need to know, no,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/city_and_colour/i_dont_need_to_know_crd_ver_2.html ]
Am
I don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh.
G
I don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Am
I don't need to know oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
How easy is that!
(Verse 2)
The second verse is the same as the the first pretty much the same 3 chords in the same pattern:
C - x32010
Em - 022000
Am - x02210
It goes:
C Em Am
I don't want to live,
C Em Am
In a world where faces change from day to day.
C Em Am
And I don't want my life to be,
C Em Am C
So full of doubt and misery.
Em Am
The years now pass without a trace.
C Em Am
It's something that I'm learning to embrace.
C Em Am
How most bad nights are spent awake.
C Em Am
Thinking about how I don't want to live that way.
(Chorus)
G
No I don't want I don't want to live, no,
Am
I don't want to li e, e, ea, e, ive.
G
I don't want to li e, e, e, ea, e, ive,
Am
I don't want to li e, e, e, ea, ive.
(Verse 3)
For the most part the same as the other verses except for the last line:
C Em Am
I don't know but I've been told,
C Em Am
That if you don't believe, the devil owns your soul.
C Em Am
Well if this is the truth, then to hell I'll go.
C Em C
'Cos I don't need to know.
I hope this was understandable, and I hope that is a word!
