Hey everyone. This is my first attempt at a tab, so, gather what you will from that.
is a great song and it's a shame that you cannot find this tab anywhere. So here goes.
free to update this as there are probably some things missing. I don't know if these
the right chord voicings, but they sound ok, at least when you are playing on your own.
This is in 3/4
Am X02210
Am/C X32210
D XX0232
G 320033
Bm X24432
Em 022000
C X30210
Gmaj7 xx0032
E 022100
Intro
|Am |Am/C |D |D | The story I.. wrote as a kid..... |G |Bm |Em |Em | So yea... I felt so scared |Am |Am/C |D |D | Watching the flames crayon red...
|D |D |
|G |Bm |C |Bm This.... Kid.... Hung on me too |Am |D | So I had to hide in a |G |Bm |C |Bm Church...Just me..........and the town..mayor |Am |D | and his son who was handi- |G |Bm |Em |Em | capped who wouldn't be quiet... unless |Am |Am/C |D |D | his dad would sing him a.....song |G |Bm |Em |Em | So yea... It wasn't long before |Am |Am/C |D |D | they found out just where we were.... |D |D | But... |C |C |C |C | I wasn't mad...... at that kid at |G |G |G |G | All.... I just.. |C |C |C |C | Felt so sad....when his dad said... |G |GMaj7 |G |Gmaj7 Goodnight Boy..... Go to sleep Boy |E |Bm |E |E Shutup... Boy ....for me |G |GMaj7 |G |Gmaj7 Goodnight Boy..... Go to sleep Boy |G |GMaj7 |Em |Em Shutup....Boy.......for me
He repeats the last 8 measures a few times and ends on G with "The troops rush in."
There you go. When I play it alone on guitar I substitute a D/F# for the Gmaj7...It
sounds better...he might actually play something different at that part, it's hard to tell
the organ over it.
Anyways, enjoy!
