Rise Against - Swing Life Away, Proper Version guitar tab
Swing Life Away - Rise Against
Ok theres a lot of versions of this tab going around, and to be honest, theyre all total
crap so i decided 2 spend my day off school 'sick' working this out, and i believe i have
it perfectly, all you have to do is work out the chord rhythms and thats it, so enjoy people!!
*tune down ½ step*
(put a capo on ur 1st fret then use a tuner and tune ur guitar, take off the capo and voila
ur tuned down)

Eb Gb Bsus
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Eb Gb Bsus
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Eb Gb Bsus C#6
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
Eb Gb Bsus
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Eb Gb Bsus
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Eb Gb Bsus C#6
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
Eb Gb Bsus
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Eb Gb Bsus c#sus4
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Eb Gb Bsus
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
Eb Gb Bsus C#sus4
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
Eb Gb Bsus
I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
Eb Gb Bsus
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Eb Gb Bsus C#6
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
Eb Gb Bsus
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
Eb Gb Bsus
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
Eb Gb Bsus C#6
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
Eb Gb Bsus
We live on front porches and swing life away,
Eb Gb Bsus C#sus4
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
Eb Gb Bsus
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
Eb Gb Bsus C#sus4 Bsus C#sus4
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....til you hold my hand
