Attention guitar players:
Tune your low E string to D for this song. The chords for the verses
apply only to the piano player. You would just play a rhythm in Dm.
Piano intro:
The second D in this scale is an ocative higher than the first D.
D (D) D A D G D F D E D F D F E C D
The band kicks in once and awhile with a Dm
Dm Am/Dm Dm Am/Dm
An offering of reasons. ....
Dm Am/Dm Dm Am/Dm
A covering of treasons. That one ....
(Bridge)
Gm Dm Gm Dm
A solitary dancer. So ...
(Chorus)
Bb C Dm C Bb
I have seen you on .....
C Dm C Bb
Felt you here before ....
C Dm C Bb
Balanced your dreams upon .....
Dm
But I don't think ...
(Verse 2)
A study made from winter. Of summers ....
(Bridge 2)
And so we end the chapter. And ....
(Repeat chorus)
Guitar riff: D A G F E E F E D (8x)
This is the pattern behind the first solo: C Am C Dm (4x)
Then it goes back to Dm for the bass riff. When the drums kick in the notes
notes are:
D E F E (if you want to play chords instead use Dm Em F Em )
Coming out of the solo the guitar and bass play:
A G F E (3x) The fourth pattern is: A G F E A (Then Dm)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat the chorus and then go back into the Dm Am/Dm pattern used
for the verses. Zach sings over this pattern:
"I don't think about you...I don't think about you" etc...
Anymore!
Repeat piano intro and end the song in Dm
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 SAVATAGE 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.
