Sam Fender - Something Heavy - Acoustic Guitar This tab relates to the acoustic guitar which is playing the rhythm, which is great if you just want to strum along with the song or sing it on your own. The 4 chords can just be played in rotation throughout for ease but I've tabbed out what sounds most accurate with the song, sometimes 4 chords are played in rotation, sometimes just 3. The A7sus chord is played very quick between chord changes. You can follow this change pretty easy if you listen to the intro of the song.

[Intro] Bm7 Gsus Dsus A7sus x2 [Verse 1]

  Bm7                Gsus2           Dsus      A7sus
Stomping 'round the village with you again

Bm7         Gsus2              Dsus2
I'm clapped out on up and downers tonight

 Bm7                 Gsus2            Dsus
Both know what we're in for tomorrow

  Bm7         Gsus2            Dsus      A7sus
Drinking anything as a pre-emptive strike

 Bm7                Gsus2               Dsus
God, she's full of pain, and I know it

       Bm7          Gsus2             Dsus2
Got a kink in her smile that her dad put there

    Bm7                  Gsus2           Dsus     A7sus
We both know that we're gonna regret it

 Bm7            Gsus2              Dsus2    A7sus
Selfishly, we stay to dodge a lonely night

[Chorus]

Bm7        Gsus2        Dsus
Everybody here's got something heavy

       Bm7           Gsus2                Dsus
I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off

 Bm7            Gsus2       Dsus
You and I are dangerous, fucked lovers

  Bm7       Gsus2           Dsus
Whittling away at this bag of rocks

[Verse 2]

 Bm7          Gsus2            Dsus2
Carrying each other up the avenue

     Bm7          Gsus2       Dsus
The city's never felt so tired

 Bm7              Gsus2            Dsus2
Half the joint's bombed after COVID

     Bm7                    Gsus2        Dsus    A7sus
My friends reached for the rope and tied

     Bm7             Gsus2            Dsus
Oh, God, how can we keep missing signals?

   Bm7          Gsus2            Dsus
We almost lost Joey on that horrid, dark night

      Bm7             Gsus2            Dsus
She grabbed me by the arm, kissed me to disarm

    Bm7              Gsus2              Dsus
The anger that I've carried like a rock my whole life

[Chorus]

Bm7        Gsus2        Dsus
Everybody here's got something heavy

       Bm7           Gsus2                Dsus
I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off

 Bm7            Gsus2       Dsus
You and I are dangerous, fucked lovers

  Bm7       Gsus2           Dsus
Whittling away at this bag of rocks

[Verse]

      Bm7          Gsus2         Dsus
I'm drinking for two down in Arthur's bar

       Bm7           Gsus2         Dsus
This place severely lost its charm

     Bm7            Gsus2            Dsus     A7sus
I'm working on the words that I would have said

     Bm7            Gsus2     Dsus
Had you have still been around

     Bm7                Gsus2             Dsus  
Oh, God, what's in the water in this town?

    Bm7       Gsus2              Dsus
So many good people falling victim to the dog

    Bm7               Gsus2          Dsus
So call me if you're down, I'll help you come around

     Bm7         Gsus2              Dsus
The kettle on a rolling boil until it's sorted out

[Chorus]

Bm7        Gsus2        Dsus
Everybody here's got something heavy

       Bm7           Gsus2                Dsus
I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off

 Bm7            Gsus2       Dsus
You and I are dangerous, fucked lovers

  Bm7       Gsus2           Dsus
Whittling away at this bag of rocks

[Post-Chorus]

Bm7        Gsus2        Dsus
Everybody here's got something heavy

Bm7        Gsus2        Dsus
Everybody here's got something heavy

Bm7        Gsus2        Dsus
Everybody here's got something heavy

Bm7        Gsus2        Dsus
Everybody here's got something heavy

[Outro]

  Bm7               Gsus2            Dsus   A7sus
Stumble 'round the village with you again

Bm7         Gsus2              Dsus2
I'm clapped out on up and downers tonight
