I'll Be (acoustic)
I'm a 100% sure in writing this tab. I can't demonstrate the strumming for you, so I
that you just listen to the music.
Intro : B, A
(Verse 1)
B E(6TH STRING[OPEN])
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
B A# G#
Stop me and steal my breath
B
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
B A# G#
Never revealing their depth
Pre-Chorus:
B A# G# A#
Tell me that we belong together
B A# G# A#
Dress it up with the trappings of love
B A# G# A#
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
B A# G# A#
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
(Chorus 1)
B E(6TH STRING[OPEN])
And I'll be your crying shoulder
B A# G#
I'll be loves suicide
B E(6TH STRING[OPEN])
I'll be better when I'm older
B A# G# B B-A#-G#
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
