Tabbed by: Jimbob - [email protected] As with the other Clientele tabs, you need to add a few embellishments due to the picking. On the normal chord during the Chorus Alistair seems to use his little finger on the high E string to pick out the 4th and 2nd frets. The * means play with the 7th fret barre version of the chord. Also use your little finger here in the Chorus to pick out some of those high notes further up the neck. The chord means alternate between fairly obvious in the track. | | x2 When I'm riding home at night now I get in so tired To the saws and bows that spell out E-M-P-T-Y ---------- But driving west now Half-past five My skin is cut My hands are knives I could be anyone alive But I just can't fit And it's too late to quit ---------- When the night air comes to me I wonder if the days I've lived through count With the world strung like a rosary Through faces moving in the crowd ---------- What is the color and the number When happiness begins? When the knight waits in the laurels Hesitating... ---------- | | I found a clarity I've never known In fag-end weeks before I left for school The darkness in the pylons And the smoke and creosote Cancelling the faces that we knew | | x2 Solo: | | freak out on the E chord ---------- Did they forget the light inside your eyes? Those simple words, those lovers' signs? The hand is dealt, the cards are played But I just can't fit And it's too late to quit ---------- I saw them, and I knew them all Inside a sheet of flame I saw them, and I knew them all Inside a sheet of flame ---------- When I'm riding home at night now I get in so tired To the saws and bows that spell out E-M-P-T-Y E-M-P-T-Y E-M-P-T-Y
