First Aid Kit – My Silver Lining (Guitar Fingerpicking Tab)

Chords
This is a verson that I can 1) play and 2) sounds pretty close by-itself to what the song sounds like.
The guitar on the album doesn't have to do much of the rhythm so this maybe has more voice and rhythm by
itself.
Go FAST.

I break it up into bars, every chord form has 1 or 2 bars with the above structure.
Thumb on bass1, open beat, thumb on bass2 (3rd or 2nd string depending), 4th string, thumb on base2/3,
5th string, thumb on bass2, 4th string.

[Verse 1]
Em Em G G
I don't want to wait anymore | I'm tired of | looking for answers
D D Em Em
Take me some place | where there's | music and there's | laughter
Em Em G G
I don't know if I'm scared of | dying But I'm scared of | living too fast, too | slow
D D Em Em
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no | I've got to go |
Em Em G G
There’s no starting over | No new beginnings | time races on |
D D Em Em
And you've just gotta | keep on keeping | on
Em Em G G
Gotta keep on | going, Looking | straight out on the | road
D D Em Em
Can't worry 'bout what's | behind you or what's | coming for you | further up the road
Em Em G G
I try not to hold on to | what is gone | I try to do right | what is wrong
D D Em Em
I try to keep on | keeping on | Yeah, I just keep on | keeping on
[Chorus]
(Now every chord form gets only one bar)
Start with C now. I add the 5th string on the first note so that the chorus stands out more. It's optional.
C/G/D/Em repeat 3x
C G D Em E|--------------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------|-------------------------- B|--1--------------1--------|--0--------------1--------|--3--------------3--------|--0--------------0-------- G|-----------0-----------0--|-----------0-----------0--|-----------2-----------2--|-----------0-----------0-- D|--------2-----------2-----|--------0-----------0-----|--------0-----------0-----|--------2-----------2----- A|--3-----------3-----------|--------------2-----------|--0-----------0-----------|--------------2----------- E|--------------------------|--3-----------------------|--------------------------|--0-----------------------
C G D Em
I hear a voice calling Calling out for me
C G D Em
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
C G D Em
Be it for reason, be it for love
Here's the turn/end/trill/whatever
We're just going to strum or pluck these as a chord. Use three or (four) fingers. For the EM I just use my
thumb, dig in a bit more and slower and let it ring.
C G D (open) C G Em
I won't take the easy road
Chord forms for this last line of chorus:

Em/Em/G/G/
I've woken up in a hotel room, my worries as big as the moon
