You have options... I prefer to play it with a capo on the 1st fret
and in the key of A (which is how I have it tabbed), or you can play
it with a capo on the 3rd fret in the key of G. I'll put those chords
at the bottom of the page.
Intro:
Intro riff (violin, I think):
|-10-11-13-15---18-17-13-10-13-13--8--|

verse riff a few times
|---------------|-----------------------------------|
|---------------|-----------11-10-------------------|
|-7----7-8-10-7-|--10/12-12-------8----8-8----------|
|---------------|-------------------10-----8--------|

A (w/ riff)
Do you belong to a song?
Does it drag you along by the tongue at the top of your lungs?
Are you drunk? Have you been drinking?
Do you below the overpass go
With a fifth in your fist reminiscing the kiss of a love
that just didn't love as much as you did?
Chorus:
But please don't give up, dear walls,
don't let the ceiling fall
when you belong to a song, salty eyes...
You belong.
THIS LITTLE BRIDGE PART HERE ISN'T 100% ACCURATE, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA:
Guitar 1 (this chord isn't as hard as it looks)
|----------------10---------------------|
|-8-----10-------6----------------------|
|---8------10----7----------------------|
|-----8-------10-8----------------------|
|-6--------------8----------------------|
|-------8--------6----------------------|
Guitar 2
(keep in mind this is WITH the capo)
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------2--|
|----------------2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2---------2----|
|----------------2-3-2-2-3-3-2-3-2-2-3-3-2-3-2-2-3-2-2-4------|
|----------------0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
Verse again...
Chorus again...
K ya'll... That's most of the song... Email me if I missed anything important
(besides the solo...I got bored...Sorry... The song is in Bb so the solo is probably
based on the minor (Gm) scale...
Oh yeah, if you play with a capo at the 3rd fret, these are the chords:
