Oliver Boyd Chords & Tabs

Version: 1 Type: Chords

Open At The Close Chords

   
Hello! This is my first tab.

I've used the version that's someone already has poster on this site, and added my 
personal touch to get it a bit more like the original from Oliver Boyd and the Rememberalls.
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.
I play without capo, but you can use capo on 1st fret or basically wherever fits your 
voice if you like. Enjoy!

Chords you will need:

C - 032010
Em - 022000
G - 320033
D - 000232
Dsus4 - 000233 or just add your pinkie on the high e-string at the third fret while 
holding D.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* D/Dsus4: You play the D-chord, but half way you can add your pinkie on the high 
e-string at the third fret if you sant to, for "the little extra".

** you play a fast G-chord before shifting to the C, to get some more melody, like in 
the original.

*** In the original song the bridge consists of both fingerpicking and strumming, but 
this is an alternative (and easier) bridge for the song.

C                                      Em
I've figured out all the pieces and
   D/Dsus4*                            Em    G**
It now makes sense to me.
C                              Em
My future has been set in stone,
                D/Dsus4*
And this end must come.
             Em                    G**
For this must be done.
C                            Em
I cannot let them die in vain.
                     D/Dsus4*
They fought by my side
                Em                  G**
And fell with their pride.
C                                          Em
One a brother, lived with all his wit.
               D                                   Dsus4
Another taught me life, and how to deal with it.

C            G          D          Em
So I'll walk it alone and face this truth.
C       G                    D         Em
Mum, I'm coming home, home to you.
C    G                      D           Em
No goodbyes this time, and no kisses too.
C         G                             D
Ginny, please don't you cry.
D            Em
Know I'll always love you.
