Tabbed by Gregg Bothwell
Standard Tuning [EADGBe]
Capo 1 (Tab relative to capo)
Legend: ( ) – Note does not have to be played, but can be
h – Hammer on
p – Pull off
I’m pretty sure Elliott plays this differently, but I think this sounds pretty
similar to the recording.
Here are the chords first:
A: |-0-| Am: |-0-| Cadd9: |-0-| Em: |-0-| |-0-|
|-2-| |-1-| |-3-| |-5-| |-0-|
|-2-| |-2-| |-0-| |-0-| |-0-|
|-2-| |-2-| |-2-| |-5-| or |-2-|
|-0-| |-0-| |-3-| |-2-| |-2-|
|---| |---| |---| |-0-| |-0-|
Asus2: |-0-| C: |-3-| Cmaj7: |-0-| D: |-2-| F: |-1-|
|-7-| |-1-| |-1-| |-3-| |-1-|
|-0-| |-0-| |-0-| |-2-| |-2-|
|-7-| |-2-| |-2-| |-0-| |-3-|
|-0-| |-3-| |-2-| |(0)| |-3-|
|---| |---| |-0-| |---| |-1-|
Note: The chord labeled "Asus2" is not actually Asus2; I just couldn't find a name for it.
Now, the sections that go [Em Cmaj Em Cmaj] can be strummed, but Elliott plays
something like this:
|-----------------------------------|
|-------0--------------1------------|
|-------0-------------------0-------|
|-------2----------2------------2---|
|-------2---0h2---------------------|
|---0---0---------------------------|
That’s not exact, but it’s pretty easy to figure out the strumming if you listen
to the song.
A Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C
A Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C
Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
A Am Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
No bad dream fucker's going to boss me around
A Am Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
Christian Brothers going to take him down
D F A
But it can't help me get over
Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C A
Don't be cross, it's sick what I want
Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C
I've seen the boss blink on and off
Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
A Am Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
Fake concerns is what's the matter, man
A Am Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
And you think I ought to shake your motherfucking hand
D F A
Well, I know how much you care
Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C A
Don't be cross, it's sick what I want
Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C A
I've seen the boss blink on and off
Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C A
Come here by me, I want you here
Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C
Nightmares become me, it's so fucking clear
Solo:
A Am Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
A Am Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
D F A
Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C A
Don't be cross, it's sick what I want
Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C A
I've seen the boss blink on and off
Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C A
Come here by me, I want you here
Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C
Nightmares become me, it's so fucking clear
Am Cadd9 Em Asus2 C
Nightmares become me, it's so fucking clear
If you want to play the solo while you strum the chords, here is what I do.
Again, it’s not exact, but you can figure out how to play it on your own pretty
easily.

So that’s pretty much it… Have fun learning and playing this song, and I hope
this tab helped you out.

I like this but I think the riff works better as
|-----------------------------------|
|-------0-------------------1---0---|
|-------0--------------0------------|
|-------2----------2----------------|
|-------2---0h2---------------------|
|---0---0---------------------------|
great tab, only i'm pretty sure the riff should go like this
|-----------------------------------|
|-------0----------1----------------|
|----------------------0------------|
|-----0---2-----2---------2---------|
|-----------0h2---------------------|
|---0-------------------------------|
and then right before it goes into the A of the verse, it should go like
|-----------------------------------|
|-------0---------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----0---2-------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|---0--------0--0--2--4-------------|
