This is just my simplified version of the tabs already here which I find much easier to play.
Basically you're just using F, C, Am and G all throughout. Listen to the song and you'll
the rhythm right.
F C
This song
Am G F
Is one I never thought that I'd play
C
But if you want me gone
Am G
There are kinder ways to say
F C Am G
So long than spitting in my face
F
They don’t teach these things in school
They just lay down the rules
C Am G
Which are there for you to break
F C Am G
Which are there for you to break
F C
If I’m wrong
Am G F
Then dust me off and put me in my place, but
C
Drop a bomb
Am G F
Shall you blow me away without even a trace?
C Am G
I’ll be gone and I won’t give chase
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mystery_jets/flakes_crd_ver_3.html ]
F
‘Cause when you’re in pieces, you pick up the bits, and nothing fits, and the wind blows
C Am G
You away
F C Am G
Oh, the wind blows you away
F C Am G
Oh, the wind blows you away
F C Am G
Oh, the wind blows you away
[vocalization]
F C
I pray
Am G F
There will come a time when I think of you and I smile
C
These days
Am G F
Everything seems to last only a while
C
Remember the names
Am G
For the day when we’d have a child
F
But the trouble with dreams, they’re not what they seem, ‘cause when you awake, they
through your fingers
C Am G
In flakes
F C Am G
They fall through your fingers in flakes
F C Am G
They fall through your fingers in flakes
F C Am G
They fall through your fingers in flakes
