Alot of people wanted a tab of this song with the little details, hammer-ons,
etc, so I wrote this tab. It's really fun to play, but might take practice. I
also recommend listening to the song for strumming and timing.
This chord is used in the third line of the verses.

The strumming pattern is pretty simple but I recommend listening
to the song to get it perfect.
Verse 1:
G Em Am G
There's nothing I could say to make you try and feel ok
Am C D
And nothing you could do to stop me feeling the way I do
Am B* C D
And if the chance should happen that I never see you again
Figure 1
Just remember that I'll always love you

Verse 2:
G Em Am G
I'd be a better person on the other side I'm sure
Am C D
You'd find a way to help yourself then find another door
Am B* C D
To shrug off minor incidents make us both feel proud

I just wish I could be there to see you through

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BADLY DRAWN BOY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
