Disclaimer this is my first tab addition to the website.
It is my version for guitar, it works great but is not what is used in the original.
They use Capo on 1st with these exact chords. Feel free to do that if you want.
Tuning: Standard EADGBe
Chords used:
Em - 022000
C - 032010
[B]G [-]- [224442]320033
Intro:
[Em] [B] [Em]
For the first verse I fingerpick (as shown) because it leads from the intro
easier, but you can strum as well.
Do quick, short, downward strums and stops. You can listen to the song for the right rhythm.
Verse 1 (Picking):
[Em] [C] [B]
Verse 1:
[Em]Little girl little girl
Why are you [C]crying?
In[B]side your restless
soul your heart is [Em]dying
Little one, little one
Your soul is [C]purging
Of[B] love and razor blades
Your blood is su[Em]rging
Chorus 1: (Strum Fast and Powerful)
Runa[Em]way
From the [C]river to the street
And f[B]ind yourself with
your face in the g[Em]utter
Your a s[Em]tray for the [C]salvation ar-my
There [B]is no place like home
Em Em (Switch to Picking)
When you got no place to go
Verse 2:
Little [Em]girl, little girl
Your life is [C]calling
The [B]charlatans and
saints of your a[Em]-bandon
Em (Two Strums)
Little one little one
The sky is [C]falling
T[B]he lifeboat of
deception is now s[Em]ailing
In the [Em]wake all the way
No rhyme or [C]reason
Y[B]our bloodshot eyes
will show your heart of [Em]treason
Em (Two Strums)
Little girl little girl
C (Two Strums)
You dirty liar
[C]You're just a[B] junkie
Preaching to the [Em]choir
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge: (Strumming)
T[C]he traces of blood
Always f[G]ollow you home
Like the [C]Mascara tears
From your [G]getaway
Your [C]walking with blisters
And [G]running with shears
So un[B]holy Sister of grace
Solo: Em C G B E
Chorus 2:
Runa[Em]way
From the [C]river to the street
And [B]find yourself with
your face in the g[Em]utter
Your a s[Em]tray for the [C]salvation ar-my
B (Hold Note)
There is no place like home
Outro:
[Em]
Thank you guys, I hope you enjoyed it.
