Queens of the Stone Age - Like Clockwork
from the 2013 Album "...Like Clockwork"
This tab is a work in progress and will be updated and improved upon
eb Tuning
You'll need to listen to the song for the timings of the chords as it can be a little
tricky at first.
Intro
[F#m] [A] [E] [C#m]
Verse 1:
[F#m]Everyone it se[A]ems,
[E]has somewhere to [C#m]go.
[F#m]And the faster the world spi[A]ns,
[E]the shorter the lights will g[C#m]low.
And I'[F#m]m swimming in the nigh[A]t.
[E]chasing down the m[C#m]oon.
[F#m]The deeper in the wat[A]er
[E]the more I long for [C#m]you
Chorus 1:
And [B]most of what you see my dear is pu[G#m]rely for show
because [F#m]not everything that g[D]oes around comes b[C#m]ack around you know
Hol[B]ding on too long is just a fe[G#m]ar of letting go,
because [F#m]not everything that g[D]oes around comes b[C#m]ack around you know
O[B]ne thing that is clear, it's all downhill from here.
(Long instrumental bit that I haven't gone through yet- feel free to figure it out and
post it in the comments)
Verse 2:
[F#m]The love light in your han[A]d,
[E]cleverly disgui[C#m]sed.
[F#m]All the promises of ston[A]e,
[E]crumble in the ni[C#m]ght.
Chorus 2:
Mo[B]st of what you see my dear i[G#m]s worth letting go
because [F#m]not everything that g[D]oes around comes b[C#m]ack around you know
Ho[B]lding on too long is just [G#m]fear of what to show
because [F#m]not everything that g[D]oes around comes b[C#m]ack around you know
[F#m]not everything that g[D]oes around comes b[C#m]ack around you know
[B]One thing that is clear, it's all downhill from her[C#m]e
End on C#m
That's it, feel free to make suggestions
