Turin Brakes - Painkiller guitar tab

Song: Painkiller

Album: Ether music

Artist: Turin Brakes

Tabbed by: Helen (madiera88rock)

Standard tuning

Alrighty, this is my first tab, so go easy on me…

Play the barre versions of the chords, it sounds better and is easier to play.

Verses:

C Bb

Batten up the hatches, here comes the cold

C Bb

I can feel it creeping, it’s making me old

C Bb

You give me so much love it blows my brains out

You need something better than the bacon and eggs

The creaking in the walls and the banging in the bed

You give me so much love that it blows my brains out

Chorus:

G C F

Summer rain, dripping down your face again

G C F

Summer rain, praying someone feels the same

G C F

Take the painkiller, cycle on your bicycle

G C F

Leave all this misery behind

There are only two different melodies and they are basically those patterns repeated, and when he sings

My love (which he does in the middle)

You play C and then Bb
