INTRO: There is some percussion instrument playing on the 1 and 3 beats of this 4/4
count song, but I dont know what that is so just play:
S | o---o--- | o---o--- |
B | o---o--- | o---o--- |
| 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- |
Repeat until the measure before the words: "Well, the years start coming and they dont
stop coming..." Then you play this starting at the measure before those words:
(careful, I had to switch the count structure on the first measure for the syncopated bass part)
verse:
C | ---------------- | x------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
H | -----------/x\-- | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxx |
S | ----r-------o--- | --o---o- | --o---o- | --o---o- | --o---o- |
B | o--o--o-o-o-o--- | o--ooo-- | o--ooo-- | o--ooo-- | o--ooo-- |
| 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- |
Repeat until chorus. Some verses have hi-hat lifts like verse two: The count structure
sould be should be like this in some of the verses:
H | xxxxxxx/ | xxxxxxxx |
| 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- |
Chorus: Not much different from the verse, but different bass part and at the beginning
of some measures you would hit the crash cymbal twice, or if you have two crashes, then
do that intstead. I labeled it as if there were only one crash.
C | xx------ | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
H | --xxxxxx | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxx |
S | --o---o- | --o---o- | --o---o- | --o---o- | --o---o- | --o---o- |
B | oo--oo-- | oo--oo-- | oo--oo-- | oo--oo-- | oo--oo-- | oo--oo-- |
| 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- |
C | -------- | -------- | xx------ | -------- | -------- | -------- |
H | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxx | --xxxxxx | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxx |
S | --o---o- | --o---o- | --o---o- | --o---o- | --o---o- | --o---o- |
B | oo--oo-- | oo--oo-- | oo--oo-- | oo--oo-- | oo--oo-- | oo--oo-- |
| 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- |

C | -------- | -------- | -------- |
H | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxx/ | \xxxxxxx |
S | --o---o- | --o---o- | -------- |
B | oo--oo-- | oo--oo-- | o-o-o-o- |
| 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- | 1-2-3-4- |
That is the exact tablature of the first chorus. Other choruses may be different, and
the last chorus is significantly different with the different fills and such, so here is that:
Pre-Chorus for last verse: (just the measure before)
C | ---------------- |
H | x-x-x-x-x-x----- |
S | ----o--o----oooo |
B | o-o---o-o-o----- |
| 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a |
Final Chorus:
C | x-x------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- |
H | /-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- |
S | ----o--o----o--o | ----o--o----o--o | ----o--o----o--o |
B | o-o---o-o-o---o- | o-o---o-o-o---o- | o-o---o-o-o---o- |
| 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a |
C | ---------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- |
H | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- |
S | ----o--o----o--o | ----o--o----o--o | ----o--o----o--o |
B | o-o---o-o-o---o- | o-o---o-o-o---o- | o-o---o-o-o---o- |
| 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a |
C | ---------------- | ---------------- | x-x------------- |
H | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- | x-x-x-x-x-x----- | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- |
S | ----o--o----o--o | ----o--o----oooo | ----o--o----o--o |
B | o-o---o-o-o---o- | o-o---o-o-o----- | o-o---o-o-o---o- |
| 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a |
C | ---------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- |
H | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- |
S | ----o--o----o--o | ----o--o----o--o | ----o--o----o--o |
B | o-o---o-o-o---o- | o-o---o-o-o---o- | o-o---o-o-o---o- |
| 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a |
C | ---------------- | ---------------- | x--------------- |
H | x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- | x-x-x-x-x-x----- | ---------------- |
T | ---------------- | --------------o- | ---------------- |
T | ---------------- | --------------o- | ---------------- |
S | ----o--o----o--o | ----o--o----rs-- | ---------------- |
B | o-o---o-o-o---o- | o-o---o-o-o---o- | o--------------- |
| 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a |
Outro: Not much different from the verses, for example there is one fill that goes like this:
S | ---------------- | rs------ |
B | o--oo--oo--oo--o | -------- |
| 1e-a2e-a3e-a4e-a | 1-2-3-4- |
Other than that, it is exactly the same as the other verses with a few hi-hat lifts to
spice it up.
The end. The last chorus is kind of loose, feel free to add any fills, hi-hat lifts,
etc. Maybe roll on that last crash. With that last tom part, choose any two toms. Its up
to you. Thank You for veiwing my first tab ever.
Rock on.
