Paul Dempsey Solo Tabs

[SPDC]

Dammit, why'd I write 1? The whopping four chords I worked out progressions are right if you have the capo on 3rd

[SPDC]

Okay, chorus (still capo 3):

C F Em Fm (last 3 chords are the lead in to the chorus as well, during the "counting the breaths under their breaths" bit)

[SPDC]

T-T-T-T-TRIPLE POST

C                 Am                  C                   Am
come rebuild your memory with a small mountain of burning leaves
     C                       Em6               F
and a swinging wire door that slams shut like a guillotine
C                      Am
strum a note up in the wires
       C                       Am
to send bats down the river, seagulls around spires
   C                       Em6
and shred all the twilight, scatter it city-wide


F             Dsus2/F#
those average angels
F                       Dsus2/F#
the drunken saints with heavy heads
             F
they can keep dreaming,
           Em             Fm         C
dreaming of sleep down the end of the bed


   F        Em         Fm               C
but nobody's ever gonna break your heart again...

(not 100% on this bit, pick the chords) C F Am G


C       Am                           C
and the high-pitched, crooked thoughts
    Am                     C
that ricocheted off the walls
        Em6                  F                         C
she just set them down quiet, safe in her dresser drawer
        C                        Am
she laid me out on the laundromat floor
               C                     Am
and said you'll be not nearly who you were anymore
        C                 Em6
and i'll always be here to remind you what time is for
F                 Dsus2/F#
and those average angels
F                             Dsus2/F#
the drunken saints with heavy heads
F                                            Dsus2/F#
you see their spirits are cowering under the table
F
and they're still counting,
            Em      Fm          C
counting the breaths under their breath


   F        Em   Fm   C
but nobody's ever...
F        Em         Fm                    C    
nobody's ever gonna break your heart again...

Chords:

C: x32010 Am: x02210 Em6: 022010 F: 133210 Dsus2/F#: 2X0230 Em: 022000 Fm: 133111 G: 320033

Use your thumb for the bass notes in the F and Dsus/F# chords

aww crung, it didn't retain the placement of the chords. But if you listen carefully, out should be able to find where they are played. Any improvements? Especially to that bit between the first chorus/second verse?

[boogs]

The Dsus2/F#: 2X0230 is the incorrect chord.


It is:

e|-0-
B|-1-
G|-2-
D|-0-
A|-X-
E|-2-

[SPDC]

I stand corrected. Any thoughts on the little bit before the second chorus?

[SPDC]

Okay, anyone (okay, okay, boogs in particular) have a chord progression for "Bird in a Basement"? It'd be nice to see the whole album tabbed, it was kind of disappointing to see interest in tabbing out the last two SFK albums drop when compared to Ef8M/BS/Echo
