BLUEBOTTLE KISS
Fathers Hands
from Revenge is Slow
Tabbed by: Ben Gladdle ([email protected])
This one seems pretty easy. The riff that is played on the other
guitar is very low down. The only way you're gonna get it is if you
tune your low E all the way down to B. Or play a 7 string guitar -
and you don't really want to be doing that.
Intro:
-----
E G#m A A
The intro is the same chords as most of the song, but it has a different
strumming pattern. It's not too hard to figure out if you listen to
it.
E G#m
Got chucked out of a greek youth hostel
A
Made it up in a flea pit motel
Watched the violence slip away
And I believe she is my mother as a young girl
Two bluest eyes to penetrate my small world
They're boring through me over my grandmothers grave
F#m
I visited my mothers town
A
I saw the places she hung around
E
Watched her friends (old children)
G#m A
Not noticing the rain
If she wasn't born here things couldn't have been the same
Riff:
----
(down octave)
D----------------------------------
A----------------------2--2/4------
E---0------2--2/4------------------
or the following, all down an octave
D---2------4--4/6------------------
A----------------------2--2/4------
E----------------------------------
(same as before)
Found out some things that I shouldn't have but I oughtta
Keep it quiet now it's tapping on my shoulder
And summer's on the wane
In a house devoid of any central heating
My preconceptions hey they sure did take a beating
This was just around the month of May
And sure it's good to be alone
But it's high time she came home
Still my fathers hands are gonna have to stay
Though she always wants it every other way
When I'm limited to being who I am
If I'm invisible I hope she understands
Other Bit:
---------
G#m A
'cause time it blurs so many things
B A
I just hope she's on my side
G#m A
We could relearn everything
B
Like how to glue it together
Watch the wheels collide
End on A.
