Them Kids
By: Sam Roberts Band
Album: Them Kids(2008)
Tabbed By: wolfendenc
Notes: This is a basic version of the song. Some of the lyrics were a little difficult
decipher, so I apologize for the mistakes. Guitar #2 jams higher on the guitar during
of the parts. The “G” chord is on the 10th fret and the “C” chord is in the same
as a regular D chord, but played on the 12th fret.
Great tune by a great band.
Chords:

No fears more alone
Then their just another dyin’ freak
You never feel at home
When you’re just another mouth to feed
I want live into your logical time
Because I’m
Still in my biological prime
Riff #1 is played throughout Chorus
Nobody listens to what they can hear
Nobody listens when we disappear
Flip your man a chord
And play a sounds on his guitar
Yeah on the street corner
Feeling like a patron of the arts
And now the kids don’t know how to dance to rockin’ roll
I said the kids don’t know how to dance to rockin’ roll
Riff #1 is played throughout Chorus
Nobody listens to what they can hear
Nobody listens when we disappear
I just don’t understand
Why the kids don’t know how to dance to rockin’ roll
I said the kids don’t know how to dance to rockin’ roll
They’re always on the phone
And they always gotta have control
And now the kids don’t know how to dance to rockin’ roll
The golden years are under attack
Taking it back, taking it back
The golden years are under attack
Taking it back, taking it back
Before these original voice
Let the beat in the path leads inner choice
The melody that you thought you found
These achievements sleeping around
C(Slide up to it….power chord)
We were apostles
C(Slide up to it….power chord)
They were the high priests
G(Slide up to it….power chord)
We live the hustle
G(Slide up to it….power chord)
The keepers of the back beat
CG ----Guitar #2 jams higher on the fretboard
We’re under pressure to reconcile
Our point of view with contemporary style
CG ----Guitar #2 jams higher on the fretboard
It used to be that kids were the ones that knew how to get off
It was a year for the swave,
now it’s only coming out as a cough
I can’t sell my song
So I’m gonna have to give em’ away
I can’t sell myself
Since my hands starting turning to grey
Riff #1
Nobody listens to what they can hear
Nobody listens when we disappear
I just don’t understand
Why the kids don’t know how to dance to rockin’ roll
I said the kids don’t know how to dance to rockin’ roll
The high priests are calling
all deciples back in the fold
because the kids don’t know how to dance to rockin’ roll
huh
CG Jam it out.
Finish on the C
