Notes:
Props to Dr. Leonard and all his great Dawes charts, but I felt
like his one on this song didn't quite get the feel right,
so I've gone through and made one myself.
If you're a beginner who can't quite barre yet, transpose down 4
semitones, slap a capo on the 5th fret, and you'll have a mostly
open version in the same key! For those who like some smooth barre
action, Capo 1 lets you play the bass part underneath if you're a
one-man band :)
Bsus4 B riff (rel. to capo) at end of verse:
e|----7-------7--|---------------|
B|--------5------|-4-------------|
G|------4-------4|---------------|
D|-4-------------|---------------|
A|---------------|---------------|
E|---------------|---------------|
I don't use this, but instead appoximate it with a B barre, using
an open high E string for the 4th, then the normal 3rd on the B
string.
Also, at the end of the Pre-Chorus, they play a full measure of B,
then there's a soft break on the 1 of the next measure with B. I've
never seen this notated on UG, so I just wrote: | B N.C.|
For the little arpeggiated thing during the B in the bridge, I pick
a B with an added 4th and 6th:
e|-0
B|-4
G|-1
D|-4
A|-2
E|-x
Capo: 1st
[Intro]
|E |A | (x4)
[Verse 1]
E C#m
This ones going out to you
Bm7 A
As the taxi pulls away
E A Bsus4 B
A song to keep you company for the ride
E C#m
There's something wrong with a goodbye
Bm7 A
In the middle of the day
E A Bsus4 B
So pretend I am still sitting at your side
[Pre-Chorus]
A | A C#m |
And if you want to talk about all the differences
B B
Between the shackle and the man
A | A C#m | B | B N.C.|
or if you’ve got reasons no one ever let you say
[Chorus]
E A E A
Then fire away
E A E E
Fire away
[Verse 2]
E C#m
This ones going out to you
Bm7 A
On the day they let you out
E A Bsus4 B
For the thousand ways they ask if you're okay
E (huge drum break) C#m
Because whatever answer that you give
Bm7 A
It’s only gonna play into their doubts
E A Bsus4 B
And be just half of what’s behind each word you say
[Pre-Chorus}
A | A C#m |
So if you finally roped that heartbreak song
B B
That the experts never could
A | A C#m | B | B N.C.|
Or if you just wanted someone to listen to you play
[Chorus]
E A E A
Then fire away
(ayyy-yyyy)
E A E A
Fire away
(ayyy-ayyy)
G# |C#m B | A | A |
Fire away
[Verse 3]
E C#m
This ones going out to you
Bm7 A
If you ever start to slip
E A Bsus4 B
And you learn to read between these lines you've drawn
E (double-time drum) C#m
When what is wrong and what is right
Bm7 A
Seem more like just the ocean and the ship
E A Bsus4 B
And the straight line that you've followed here is gone
[Pre-Chorus]
A | A C#m |
And if that same old fox comes and sweeps you up
B B
Each time you spread your wings
A | A C#m | B |
I could at least love you through each stumble, shift and sway
|Bsus4 | B7 | B N.C.|
[Chorus]
E A E A
Then fire away
(ayyy-yyyy)
E A E A
Fire away
(ayyy-ayyy)
G# |C#m B | A | A |
