American Tragedy Lyrics

Copyright: 2001 Out Of Twisted Roots Music (Bmi)
This is my first song I've ever tabbed out, so I think I did a pretty good
job, but if there are some mistakes, please email me at timdost@hotmail.com
you can mail me at the same adress for comments and stuff...
Have fun playing!!
( I'm dutch, so my english is not very good, so I hope you can understand it)
In the intro I think Pete uses a capo on the first fred, The chords are
relative to capo. Otherwise play
Intro: Em - C - G - D (2*)
Then Pete plays this,
Hold the first note a very short time and then bend it, listen to the song to get the feel...
B -11b12r11-9--9------9-11-11-----11b12r11-9--9--------9-11-11---11b12r11-9----
Verse1:
Art is in motion, look around
At the everyday people in everyday towns
Love is an ocean as deep as the sky
Gotta keep our arms open or we're never gonna fly
Chorus:
B -11b12r11-9--9--------9-11-11--------------11b12r11-9--9--------9-11-11------
It's a tragedy, all the hate I see Am I left to be, a slave to history
B -11b12r11-9--9--------9-11-11--------------11b12r11-9--9--------9-11-11------
Love's our common ground, yeah! my skin is brown. Ain't no sweeter sound, walls
B ------------------11b12r11-9---
are tumblin' down
vers 2:
I can't deny it, overwhelms
That changing your world means changing yourself
You can't tell me what you already tried
Cause we're never gonna shine, until we swallow our pride
Chorus:
B -11b12r11-9--9--------9-11-11--------------11b12r11-9--9--------9-11-11------
It's a tragedy, all the hate I see Am I left to be, a slave to history
B -11b12r11-9--9--------9-11-11--------------11b12r11-9--9--------9-11-11------
Love's our common ground, yeah! my skin is brown. Ain't no sweeter sound, walls
B ------------------11b12r11-9---
are tumblin' down
Before and under solo play this (again): Em C G D
Solo:
B -11b13r11-9-11-9------9----------11h13p11---9-11-9-13-13-11-11-9-11-13-11-9-1

The questions in you are the questions in me
And I'm no closer to answers than you are to me
If we just believe then we all can be free
Nanananananananaaaa!
