The band put up the tabs here, just not in coordination with the lyrics, so I did that. I'm kinda bad at it, but this is my favorite song by them so I thought I'd give it a go! http://chewingontinfoil.tumblr.com/post/3298484585/could-ye-put-up-the-tabs-for-well-basically Most of the song's guitar is on offbeats, but I put the chords where the actual chord changes are instead. Just listen to the song before you play, and I think you'll get what I mean. If you have any corrections let me know! Feel free to tab the rest of the album to the lyrics if you'd like! I plan on doing some of their other songs eventually! :) 4/4 Bm F#7 I’ve been dragging razor blades G D A over my face for about ten years straight, Bm F#7 G from the week I turned thirteen. D A Well, yesterday I turned twenty-three. Bm F#7 Dad used to joke that he could shave with a knife. G D A I’ve never seen a cut on his face in all of my life. Bm F#7 I hope my skin thickens G A into the kind of man I want to be. D | F#7 | Bm | G A D F#7 You’re numb? Yeah, sure, I’ve been numb. Bm G A It’s when you have so many choices, you end up choosing none. D F#7 And you're bored, I think I know the sort. Bm G A As long as you don’t end up there as your first resort. D F#7 One time a drunk news presenter from RTE, Bm G A took the time out of her busy night to explain to me, D F#7 that boredom is a pretty recent term Bm G A and forty years ago, no one used the word Bm G And there is so much more than this, D A Bbdim some people survive by the skin of their wrist. Bm G D And I had to let you know. A Bbdim D Oh o-oh, oh oh D | F#7 | Bm | G A D F#7 Bm I saw what was basically a child propped up on stage. G A He proceeded to say nothing in the loudest way. D F#7 Bm I lock my jaw so tight, point my eyes at the ground, G A D in a futile effort to repel the sound. F#7 As my mind starts to wander away, Bm G A it calls back just to ask me was I ever this way? D F#7 The chords seem so familiar, although his speech is slurred. Bm G A I notice we’ve the same shaving lines as he utters the words: Bm G And there is so much more than this, D A Bbdim some people survive by the skin of their wrist. Bm G D And I had to let you know. A Bbdim D Oh o-oh, oh oh D F#7 G / D Bm G / D F#7 G / Em G D F#7 At six a.m., eight years ago, Bm G I was lying in the middle of the Old Bawn Road, D F#7 singing “I don’t care if any cars come, Bm G I won’t rise before the sun.” Learn to play "Chewing On Tinfoil" with online video lessons UG plus: remove banner comments We did not receive enough feedback on this tab!
