Capo 5 From http://www.spin.com/articles/spin-sessions-cursive-unplugged The F is played 0332xx at first, and then the first fret is hammered on for the rest of chord. For the Am, strum x00000 and hammer on the entire chord in more or less the same rhythm for the F. The same progression is played throughout, so I'm only going to put the chords in for first two verses (so you get an idea of timing). It's pretty straightforward. Also note other than the two lines of laughter (and the Am/C/Dm/G7 progression that follows), no breaks inbetween the verses. F C A year now and nothing much has changed F C Holed up in a motel in El Paso Am C This was meant to be my great escape Dm But, I got lost along the way G7 Amongst free HBO and take-out [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/c/cursive/182666.html ] F C Going to write my Moby Dick F C More like scratching lyrics on paper plates Am C I spent the best years of my life Dm Waiting on the best years of my life G7 So what's there to write about? What have I done? What have I done? So is this my destiny? From starlight into eternity The gods must be laughing down at me Ha, ha, ha Ha, ha, ha A traveling salesmen at twenty years old Stranded in Ann Arbor with a flat tire And I watch the sun sadly set Any younger, I may have wept Much older, I wouldn't notice But I was out there in the world Yeah, then the world, it passed me by I was telling everyone back home That I was taking it by storm Instead, I watched it from the roadside What have I done? What have I done? So are these the best tales I can spin? A boy waiting to begin A man with no memoirs What have I done? What have I done? You're young and you're going to be someone Then you're old and you're ashamed of what you've become Well, take a look around you, You're preaching to the choir What have I done? What have I done?
