24 by Jem
Tabbed by Ed Montano (eamontano@aol.com)
Standard tuning (play riff clean, chords with distortion)
Intro:
Riff x2
Verse 1: (Play riff through verse)
Been given 24 hours...
to tie up loose ends, to make amends.
His eyes said it all, I started to fall,
and the silence deafened.
Verse 2: (Play riff through verse)
Head spinning round...
no time to sit down, just wanted to...
run and run and run.
Be careful they say don't wish life away,
now I've one day.
Transition to chorus: (Chords 1)
And I can't believe.
How I've been wasting my time.
Chorus: (Chords 2)
In 24 hours they'll be...
laying flowers on my life, it's over tonight.
I'm not messing no I need your blessing,
and your promise to live free...please do it for me.
Riff:
Verse 3: (Play riff through verse)
Is there a heaven, a hell,
and will I come back...who can tell?
Now I can see what matters to me,
it's as clear as crystal.
Verse 4: (Play riff through verse)
The places I've been...
the people I've seen, plans that I made,
start to fade.
The sun's setting gold, thought I would grow old,
it wasn't to be.
Transition to chorus: (Chords 1)
And I can't believe.
How I've been wasting my time.
Chorus: (Chords 2)
In 18 hours they'll be...
laying flowers on my life, it's over tonight.
I'm not messing no I need your blessing,
and your promise to live free,
please do it for me.
Chorus: (Chords 2)
In 13 hours they'll be...
laying flowers on my life, it's over tonight.
I'm not messing no I need your blessing,
and your promise to live free,
Please do it for me.
Interlude: (Play riff)
Bridge: (Play riff)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jem/24_tab.html ]
I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it...
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it...
Transition to chorus: (Play riff)
And I can't believe.
How much I've wasted my time.
Chorus: (Chords 2)
In 8 hours they'll be...
laying flowers on my life, it's over tonight.
I'm not messing no I need your blessing,
and your promise to live free,
please do it for me.
Chorus: (Chords 2)
In 1 hour they'll be...
laying flowers on my life, it's over tonight.
I'm not messing no I need your blessing,
and your promise to live free,
please do it for me.
Riff
