4 Day Weekend - by The Bluetones

----------------

Tabbed by Frederic Maquet

This is quite a nice little song (especially the intro) from the
"Return to the Last Chance Saloon" album.. hope you like it...
The chorus sounds a bit like Hey Joe for a bit...

[A] I'm alive, I'v[C]e arr[G]ived

Verse 2: (same as verse 1)

--------

We thought we could make a difference,
and be remembered when the pyramids are dust,
But we had to learn that these bridges that we built,
(add a Dm here...)
can be as fragile as a loved one's trust

Play Chorus

-----------

Break:

------

[E] Here comes my [F]everything,
This is my everything,
There comes my everything,
Dm G A (play verse chords)
Bye-bye love

Solo over verse chords: lots of sliding and general noise...
[----]
Play chorusx2

-------------

E (strum 4 times, slowing down...then pause)

Verse 3: (slow, clean guitar as in intro)

--------

[A] Let's forget about the [Am]questions,
[G] we've been dragging out for [Dsus2]years
[A] Let's clear the smokey [Am]air between us,
G Dsus2 Dm (<-slow down and stop)
and say goodbye and shed no tears...

End...
