Bluetones - The Fountainhead guitar chord

Subject: Tab:  The Fountainhead by The Bluetones

The Fountainhead

----------------

by The Bluetones

Tabbed by Frederic Maquet  (f.maquet@ic.ac.uk)

This is another great song of the "Expecting to Fly" album.  If you like

it, email me and tell me about it with corrections/comments...

I hope the intro is accurate enough, but it sounds good!  The whole song

is played with two guitars, but you can survive with just one!  The

rythm is

a bit hard though, so you'll have to listen to the song to get it right.

Verse 1: (play with 1st intro riff)

--------

Em7 E          Esus E    Am-  Am

God knows I've tried, to bridge the gap,

     G A

I've tried to be me,

     Em7  E Esus E        Am-  Am

And time after time I've lied, just to say the things,

    G       A

You wanted to hear,

Em7 E                Esus E Am  Am7  Am   (Am7 is x02213)

Look, look what I've done,  look what I do,

    G A     E Em7 E

I'm starting to pull myself through,

           Esus  E Am-  Am    G  A   D

Hell could feasibly freeze, but in your eyes, I'll always be...

Chorus 1:

---------

    F#       G       A              D

The Fountainhead, the boy whose thoughts keep running away

F#       G   A   (play this A as x0222x)

And you know I'm riiight.

Verse 2: (same chord progression as verse 1)

--------

Em7 E             Esus E Am-  Am     G        A   E

Wasn't it you who said,  I went looking, to open the eyes of my head

And now I can see, from your mistakes, you're as blind as me

God knows I try, God know I've tried, to be something more than I am

Hell could feasibly freeze, but in your eyes I'll always be...

Chorus 2:

---------

Same as Chorus 1

Break:  Plays basic riff, with lots of bass.  

------

Verse 3: (The whole thing is played with the 1st intro riff)

--------

Em7       E            Esus   E

What can I say without being profound,

       Am-   Am        G A

It's a game that we play, goes round and round

        Em7    E Esus         E

I shall stick to the rules and I won't stop a fool

      Am-       Am     G   A

And I won't be defied and I won't lose my cool,

          Em7     E        Esus       E

Can't you see what I've done can't you see what I do?

Am-   Am G          A

It's not really unique but it's hopelessly cruel,

Em7     E      Esus   E

These are my decisions these are my mistakes

G A (single strum)

And I'll fall down again if that what it takes...

Bridge:
