Chords

Been working on this tab using live videos and by ear for a while now, but it is my first tab, so please comment suggestions if you have some. h- hammer on p- pull off ---Intro/Verse--- -Ryhthm- The strumming Pattern is not worth tabbing out so just listen to the song and youl get it ;-) Come in after the lead guitaist has done his little riff once and a half, listen to the song to get that perfect.

---Chorus--- -Rhythm- Youll have to listen to the song for the strumming pattern. Although im sure of the chords themselves, I think Circa Waves actually play them in different ways. Playing this still sounds good though.

           FM7  Dm    Am    Gm7

Looking at the live videos of this song, it looks like kieran (Rhythm guitarist) plays something that looks like this -x-- Instead of Dm. Its up to you if you prefer it that way. -10- -9--

                               -10-
                               -10-  (played with index finger)
                               -x--

-Lead- The timing of these is hard to represent in tab but its fairly easy to pick up :-)

---Verse 2--- Rhythm as normal -Lead- After one bar of doing nothing, play the regular verse with the 2nd ending, just one time. Then play it again, picking very fast, palm muted, at about half speed. I know that sounds super confusing, but it isnt when you listen to the song and play along. Then, the rest of the band goes quiet, and you play

G-------9-7-9-----7---9---9--(whammy bar lightly down if you have one)-|

Then into the chorus. -Solo-
