Okay first off, this is my version of the song, and it's got some really cool voicings of
chords, and it sounds TONS better then a good amount of Acoustic tabs on here.
The tuning. as strange as it is, is Open Dsus4.
Sounds crazy but really isn't.
Starting on Low E String:
simple tune your Low E DOWN to D, Tune Your B DOWN to A, and your High E DOWN to D.
Now you capo the 5th fret if you want it to be in the same key as the recording,
but when I play it, I don't use one.
Now look at the chord fingering carefully because they are unusual, and won't work in
standard tuning.
chords used
C (007700)
G (077900) or (777900) *the second one gives you a Fuller more Bass-y sound*
F (055700) or (555700) *See Above*
Cmaj7 (007704)
Fmaj7 (055000) or (555000) *See Above)
The Maj7 chords can just be played as the Regular chord, if it sounds better to you.
(listen for the strumming on the first C and G)
Time to lay claim to the evidence
Fingerprints sell me out
But our footprints washed away
From the docks downtown
It's been getting late for days
And I feel myself deserving of a little time off
We can kick it, hang for hours
And just mouth off about the world
And how we know it's going straight to hell
Pass me another bottle, honey
The Jaeger's so sweet
But if it keeps you around, then I'm down
Meet me on Thames Street
I'll take you out
Though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold, you look so fierce
But I'm warming up
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars
I should have known better than to call you out
(On a night like this, a night like this)
If not for you, I know I'd tear this place to the ground
(But I'm all right like this, all right like this)
I'm gonna roll the dice
Before you sober up and get gone
I'm always in over my head
Thames Street
I'll take you out
Though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold, you look so fierce
But I'm warming up
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars
Time to lay claim to the evidence
Fingerprints sell me out
But our footprints washed away
I'm guilty, but I'm safe for one more day
Overdressed and underage
Do you really need see an ID?
This is embarrassing as hell
But I can cover for it so well
When we're six feet under the stars
(If you are playing this song by yourself, don't say "stars", and skip straight to
"thames stree")
Thames Street
I'll take you out
Though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold, you look so fierce
But I'm warming up
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
But there's room for two
