Bluetones - The Fountainhead guitar tab

m: "MAQUET, Frederic F."

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:
