Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is my first tab/chord, the other ones on here didn't sound right so I made my own.
It's a half step down, like most of The Wonder Years songs.
Verse:
D
We wiped out all the Buffalo
Bm
Around the turn of the last century,
G
And so it's factories and sawgrass,
A
Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me.
D
The Midwest feels like a hollow place
Bm
That we filled with love and industry.
G
And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits,
A
Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy.
Prechorus(play chords arpegiated):
D A Bm A G
Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything.
A
Let me be.
Chorus: D G
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Bm A
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
D G
They played the war drum out of time
Bm A
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
Bm D
I wanna be strong,
G
But it's not easy anymore.
D A G
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Verse 2:
D
It's sixteen hours straight to home
Bm
From the heart of North Missouri,
G
And so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs
A
For the devil in my bloodstream.
D
Depression grabbed his throat
Bm
And choked the life out of him slowly.
G
I've got the same blood coursing through my veins
A
And it'll come for me eventually.
Prechorus 2:
D
I bet I'd be a fucking coward.
Bm
I bet I'd never have the guts for war,
G
'Cause I can't spend another month away from here.
A
These frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore.
D A Bm A G
But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home.
A
So let me know.
D G
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Bm A
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
D G
They played the war drum out of time
Bm A
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
Bm D
I wanna be strong,
G
But it's not easy anymore.
D A G
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
(palm muted G powerchord)
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Bridge:
D A
I know how it feels to be
G
At war with a world
That never loved me.
D A
I know how it feels to be
G
At war with a world
That never loved me.
Chorus 3:
D G
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Bm A
