----------------------------------------------------------------- Americas Suitehearts Acoustic by Fall Out Boy ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: J.P. Oliver (mrmoronicmind) Email: mrmoronicmind@gmail.com Tuning: Standard There are lots of chords for this, none of them are correct. Heres my completely correct, easy to follow, epic fun sauce, simple to learn tab/chord sheet on this song. THIS IS NOT SOME CONVERSION OF THE ELECTRIC VERSION THAT I MADE UP!!! This is the actual way that Patrick Stump plays this live acoustic. Im a college guitar major, and I know what Im talking about, especially with such a simple song. Enjoy, and go play it live. Its a crowd pleaser if you do it right. INTRO: Two Chords, A major and A6, played like this: Amaj A6 E|----X-X-X-X--------------X-X-X-X-----------------------------------------| B|----2-2-2-2--------------2-2-2-2-----------------------------------------| G|----2-2-2-2--------------2-2-2-2-----------------------------------------| D|----2-2-2-2--------------3-3-3-3-----------------------------------------| A|----0-0-0-0--------------0-0-0-0-----------------------------------------| E|----X-X-X-X--------------X-X-X-X-----------------------------------------| This is a part everyone gets wrong. Just play these chords back to back, and listen to the song for the strumming pattern. You should be able to find it on YouTube if you dont already have it. From here on out, this will be a chord chart you can easily follow to play the song through. And YES, the second chord in the chorus IS AN F#m AND NOT Bm!!! I CANT STRESS THAT ENOUGH!!! If you play Bm there, it makes the singer sound out of tune. And we dont want the singer to sound off, do we? That would ruin the whole song! Intro: A A6 A A6 (Mute rhythmically with your palm) Verse 1: D F#m You could have knocked me out with a feather Bm A I know you've heard this all before, but we're just Hell's neighbors D F#m Why, why, why won't the world revolve around me? Bm A When my dreams, trees grow all over the streets G Bm But I don't know much about classic cars G Bm But I've got a lot of friends stuck on classic coke G Down, set, one, Hut, hut, hike G... Media Blitz [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/f/fall-out-boy/288665.html ] Chorus: LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE STRUMMING PATTERN! ITS VERY SPECIFIC! ...D Lets hear it for America's Suitehearts! F#m But I must confess G Bm A I'm in love with my own sins G A D Lets hear it for America's Suitehearts! F#m But I must confess G Bm A G A I'm in love with my own sins. Verse 2: (mute in between the B5 chords. Make it rhythmic. Play at the same time as the words rhythm. Sometimes Patrick just plays the root of the chord on a single string, rather than the whole thing) D F#m You can bow and pretend that B5 B5 B5 B5 B5 A You don't, don't know you're a legend D F#m Bm Time, time, time hasn't told anyone else yet A Let my love loose again. G Bm But I don't know much about classic cars G Bm But I've got a lot of friends stuck on classic coke G Down, set, one, Hut, hut, hike G... Media Blitz Chorus: ...D Lets hear it for America's Suitehearts! F#m But I must confess G Bm A I'm in love with my own sins G A D Lets hear it for America's Suitehearts! F#m But I must confess G Bm A G A (This leads A merges back into the intro proggression) I'm in love with my own sins. Bridge: (Same as intro, sing over it) A A6 A A6 A A6 You could have knocked me out with a A A6 (mute rhythmically with you palm) I know you've heard this all before Chorus: ...D Lets hear it for America's Suitehearts! F#m But I must confess G Bm A I'm in love with my own sins G A D Lets hear it for America's Suitehearts! F#m But I must confess G Bm A G A I'm in love with my own sins. Outro: D Let's hear it, oh, let's hear it F#m D|---0h2-----------| Let's hear it, oh, let's... G Bm A G A D Suitehearts (long vocal trill through the quick chord changes) D I play around with D major suspensions on the end of this song. You can do that or end it strong with the same rhythm like Patrick. Sounds good either way! Make sure to comment and rate.
