Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT2cWhxv8tE
CHORDS
Bdim: x0343x
Riff 1: F# slide up to A (power chord) x2
Or in tab form
||-----|
||-----|

||4/7-7|
||4/7-7| x2
||2/5-5|
NOTES
If you can do it comfortably, I recommend holding the "D" shape between A and Bdim and
sliding between the two.
During the bridge you may like to drop the high E string when playing the D chord
occasionally. It's also fun
during this section to use the power chord (577xxx) version of A, so that you can slide
back into the E.
If you try and play along with the video, then you'll realise Kevin is using an
alternate tuning (I don't know what). If anyone can enlighten me then that would be
great and I'll update this page.
This song is really fun to play, enjoy!
PS Good luck with the "woo" parts.
A Bdim
When I was a boy,
A Bdim
I dreamt like a man
Bm
I knew something was coming
E
And I should be waiting
A Bdim
I was assured
A Bdim
The ground wouldn't hold
Bm
All those nights in my bunk bed
E Riff 1
Learning to float
D Riff 1
That's how I got here
D A Riff 1
With a broken nose
D A Bm
And a skeptic's eye
E
I earned every night
A Bdim
Woooooo
A Bdim
Woooooo
A Bdim (linger after strumming this chord)
Up on that hill
F# D
At a sniper's remove
Bm
My lightning & arrows
E Riff 1
My burden of proof
D Riff 1
I made my mind up
D A Riff 1
At least I think I did
D A Bm
I could never be sure
E
All these voices at war
F# D E A E
F#
I blocked the one road
D
Locked every gate closed
E A E
I papered over the bridge
F#
And then I found out
D
My heart's a bloodhound
E E7 Riff 1
Always searching, always searching
D Riff 1
That's how you got here
D A Riff 1
Despite my best design
D A Bm
I picked up your scent,
E
And I let you sneak in.
A Bdim |
Woooooooo | Repeat four times
