___________________________________________________________________

 

There's rows and rows of houses with windows painted blue

With light from the TV running parallel to you

There is no sunken treasure rumored to be

Wrapped inside my ribs

In a sea black with ink

(play the D chord until halfway through "sea," then switch to G for the rest of the line)

 

If I had a mountain I'd try to fold it over

If I had a boat

It'd probably roll over

(extend D and G for "probably")

 

I'd leave it on the shore

I'd leave it for somebody

Surely there's somebody

Who needs it more than me

(extend D and G for "needs")

 

A G/D

I am so, I am so

D-G riff

Out of tune

 

Em A/D

I am so out of tune

D-G riff

With you

D-G Riff

 

For all the trees will burn in autumn fires and then return

For all the fires we burn

All will return

(Extend the D for "all")

 

(Play a D5 chord for this part, alternating between the bass and the chord, progressively playing the low D string harder)

 

Music is my savior

I was maimed by rock and roll

I was maimed by rock and roll

I was tamed by rock and roll

I got my name from rock and roll

 

(get really loud, play the whole D chord)

 

I was saved by rock and roll

Great job, thats the best version of that ive ever seen. thanks. but one question, is the part with the instrumental interlude go along with the harmonica?

[Guest gryfyrg]

thanks a lot - yeah, the instrumental part goes along with the harmonica, which ends after he starts playing the verse riff again

what's he playing on the long held notes... he moves up on the fretboard (from seeing him live). sounds like a G but not just wondering how he does it... great tab!
