Okay this is what i'm hoping is a new editors song off of their next album, its the
acoustic version of the weight of your love which Tom Smith played live on his own at the
PIAS nites in Brussels.
This is my first tab so go easy guys, its something i've only just quickly figured out
and decided to jot down and upload, sorry its so rough but its pretty much the whole song.
Tuning:EADGBE Capo on Second fret, all notes relative to Capo
Intro part and verse
"For a moment, i felt the weight of your love... "
e|-3----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-0----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-0----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-3----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
play this chord a few times, listen to the rhythm of the song (you could mute the A
string if you wish) then switch briefly to...
e|-3------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-0------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-0------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-1------------------------------------------------------------------------|
and then back again to the first G type chord
the pre-chorus type part:
"So strike down on me... "
standard Em, choose whether or not you wish to play the E and B strings, Tom partly
does live.
e|-3--3--3--3---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3--3--3--3---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-0--0--0--0---5--5--5--5--------------------------------------------------|
D|-2--2--2--2---0--0--0--0--------------------------------------------------|
A|-2--2--2--2---5--5--5--5--------------------------------------------------|
E|-0--0--0--0---6--6--6--6--------------------------------------------------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/editors/the_weight_of_your_love_tab.html ]
then just repeat the first part for the verse, listen to the song for the rhythm.
The Chorus type part where tom says:
"Everyday I break, I'm the first to go, without you I'm, getting lost"
e|------3-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-4----3----4----6----4----4---------------------------------------------|
G|-0----0----0----7----0----0----5----------------------------------------|
D|-5----0----5----0----5----5----5----------------------------------------|
A|-6----0----6----x----6----6----3----------------------------------------|
E|-6----3----6----6----6----6----x----------------------------------------|
Then just repeat this twice for the first time and then go back to the verse and
pre-chorus and then repeat it four times on the second and last time you play this part. The
rhythm for this part is slightly weird so listen carefully for the chords changes. It's
all on youtube!!!!!
here are what i think are the lyrics... and i've put the rough order of the song at the
bottom as well.
For a moment, I felt the weight of your love
It was lightning, it was lightning
So strike down, on me
I'm just a lump of meat, With a heart beat
electricity, restarts me
So strike down, on me
Everyday I break, I'm the first to go
Without you I, would be lost
And I promised myself, I wouldn't talk about death
I know I'm, getting boring now
I'm just a man, holding the weight of your love
And without it, my strength just isn't enough
So strike down, on me
On me!!!!!
Everyday I break, I'm the first to go
Without you I, would be lost
And I promised myself, I wouldn't talk about death
I know I'm, getting boring now
Ooooh oooohh, ooooh oooh oh, oooooh oooh ohhh, ooooh ooooh ;)
For a moment, I felt the weight of your love
It was lightning, it was lightning
So strike down, on me
Intro/Verse about 4 times
Pre-Chorus part Once
Intro/Verse another 4 times
Pre-Chorus Part once
Intro/Verse twice
Chorus twice
Intro/verse 4 times
Pre-chorus Once
Chorus 4 times
Intro/Verse 4 times
Pre-Chorus once
End.
Cheers! Over and out.
