Finest Hour Chords

   
First Tab, couldn't find this song on here so I thought I'd give it a go by ear! 
Hope it sounds good to you guys too

G* - He hammers in a G at the end of the chorus after the F (on the fourth beat), 
very subtle and completely optional but I think it sounds great leading into the 
next C chord, either just play a G on the low E string on your way to the C, play 
the whole chord or completely ignore it and play F all the way through

B* - Exact same thing for the pre-chorus, he slips in a B when going from Am to C. 
Play with it and see what you like

(b) (c) (d) - single notes you can pluck and add a little vibrato to before the chorus drops




(Verse)
C
  Got a text from you
Em
  Is it really true?
Am                         F        G*
  All the stuff we did last night...
C
  We shut down the bars
Em
  Danced on top of cars
Am                              F       
  Asked some girl if she'd be my wife...

(Pre-Chorus)
Dm                                                             Am   B*
Oh and I got pictures that I don't remember taking that are so bad...
C
And oh had to break into my own damn apartment
(B)  (C)  (D)
How about that?

They say the best stories come from the worst nights baby but

(Chorus)
C
Oh it was crazy
    Em
And Oh it was amazing
   Am
We blew all our money 
    F
And crashed in your Mercedes
       C
And we both got numbers
    Em
But didn't get the names
       Am                    F
And my whole damn party lost power
   F       F       F
It was, it was, it was... Our finest hour

(Verse)
C
  Bruises on my knee
Em
  They're all over me
Am                          F     G*
  Think I might have lost a fight
C
  Found a drink receipt 
Em
  From 42nd street
Am                               F
  Remember we must have lost our minds

(Pre-Chorus)
Dm                                                       Am     B*
And I got pictures that I don't remember taking that are so bad
C                            
I think I might've fell asleep in the subway
(B) (C)   (D)
How about that?

They say the best stories come from the worst nights baby but

(Chorus)
C
Oh it was crazy
    Em
And oh it was amazing
   Am
We blew all our money 
    F
And crashed in your Mercedes
       C
And we both got numbers
    Em
But didn't get the names
       Am                    F
And my whole damn party lost power
   F       F       F
It was, it was, it was

Our finest hour

(Bridge)
C                 Em
Oh this night was ours
               Am
This night was ours
               F
And it was our finest hour
C                 Em
Oh this night was ours
               Am
This night was ours
               F
And it was our finest hour

   F       F       F
It was, it was, it was
                C Em 
Our finest hour
           Am
Our finest hour
F                 C      Em
It was our finest hour
Am                                   C
    Think it was our finest hour
