Chords

Tabbed by oliverjakerr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From Everyday Life (2019) Tempo: ~95 | Key Signature: D minor | Tuning: Standard | Time Signature: 4/4 | Capo: No Capo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Author Note: This song is a fantastic song it reminds me of the Rush of Blood to the Head Era with the buildup and release, really amazing. It is really powerful I feel it speaks a lot about screwed up legal systems and racism involved around the world. Once I have the time I'll tab the whole thing out however this is the simple version. Also, the Gdim is an optional chord in the bridge. It acts as a transitional chord. Sounds good but optional And imo the brige sounds the best when you triple pick the bottom 3 and 4 strings only for the Gm, Gdim and C7 Enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------- [Chords]: Dm xx0231 OR x57765 Dm/G 3x0231 Dm/A x00231 Gm 355333

[Interlude] Best friends What's that? What's his name? X (Standby, sir)
Gm
Alright, is that X your middle name?

         Gdim      C7
Of course, it's on a vehicle ID, right?

                                                       Dm
