1904 - Tallest Man on Earth
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: MountainDre
This tab is based off Macheeoo's which sounds great but is not 100% accurate.
After watching how Matson played it (see link below), this is what I came up
with. Tune high e string down to d and put capo on 4th fret. Enjoy!
Note on strumming:
normal strumming = as in pattern above
paused strumming = down, down, up, pause, down

[Intro]
G C G C (paused strumming...)
G (G*) C (C*) Am (Am*) D (D*) x2 (...into normal strumming)
[Verse]
G (G*) C/G Well some may say it's not even funny Am (Am*) D (D*) And there you stand not even trying G (G*) C/G They say it is in line with the ages Am (Am*) D (D*) Sometimes noise is just your mind C/G G* D (D*) But the lesson is vague in the light now C/G G* D (D*) Shows a deer with her mind on the moor G C/G And now something with the sun is just different Am D G Since they shook the earth in 1904
[Instrumental]
G (G*) C (C*) Am (Am*) D (D*)
[Verse]
G C/G (paused strumming) And as I lowered down I hear it's a message Am (Am*) D (D*) (back to normal on Am) And it's 1902 just telling people to get out G C/G And if there was just a way I could tell them Am (Am*) D (D*) It's been long but you are right C/G G* D (D*) And the singing is slow and so quiet C/G G* D (D*) Like the sound when you sweep up the floor G C/G And now something with the dirt is just different Am D G Since they shook the earth in 1904
G (G*) C (C*) Am (Am*) D (D*) x2
[Chorus]
Bm C* (C/G) And when the night is young but the bridge is up Em (Em7) C* (C/G) Something passing by, I was sure Bm C* (C/G) And the only one you can tell it to Em D (D*) Well it's the only one that ever knows
[Verse]
G C/G (paused strumming) And since more robbers made to go through my window Am (Am*) D (D*) (back to normal on Am) Here is something so strange and something louder than before G (G*) C/G And you're living with no light or direction Am (Am*) D (D*) But damn precise and now you know C/G G* D (D*) When believing is hard but you go now C/G G* D (D*) And you feel what you drag across the floor G C/G Because something with these drills are just different Am D G Since they shook the earth in 1904
[Instrumental]
G (G*) C (C*) Am (Am*) D (D*) x2
[Chorus]
Bm C* (C/G) And when the night is young but the bridge is up Em (Em7) C* (C/G) Something passing by, I was sure Bm C* (C/G) And the only one you can tell it to Em D (D*) Well it's the only one that ever knows G C/G (paused strumming) And some will say it's not even healthy Am D But body is young and mind is sure G C/G That something is alright with your thinking Am D G Since they shook the earth in 1904
