We Could Be Kings - Dave Hause - Devour
Standard tuning (EADGBe)
Arranged by Jack Cookson (Torn_Asunder)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave tends to play these as powerchords, but sometimes puts in the third.
Either way, it's up to you. If you're a beginner to barre chords,
try transcribing the tab with the tool on the left to G voicings, and stick
a capo on 4th.

So this is reje[B]ction
And it's bringing you [G#m]down
He told you that he'd find w[E]ork soon
Then he stopped coming a[F#]round
That was the summer of sw[B]eet nights
He used to take you for ri[G#m]des
But it all changed in the ba[E]ckseat
He came in[F#]side
Well he's s[G#m]een en[F#]ough to k[E]now
Hes o[B]ld eno[G#m]ugh to k[F#]now whats ri[E]ght from w[B]rong
I k[G#m]now how ha[F#]rd it i[E]s to see t[B]hings thr[F#]ough
[B]Oh no did it ri[E]p you apart?
To be told w[G#m]e could be kings
When we were d[E]amned from the s[F#]tart
[B]Oh no did it r[E]ip you apart?
They told us [G#m]we could be [F#]kings
When we were da[E]mned, da[A]mned from the s[B]tart
You told him you l[B]oved him
But push had come to s[G#m]hove
There were no easy an[E]swers
Mixing money and b[F#]lood
He was too young to know b[B]etter
And you were une[G#m]mployed
The sergeant promised a c[E]ake walk
But then he got de[F#]ployed

I've s[G#m]een en[F#]ough, eno[E]ugh to [B]know
It's [G#m]not ab[F#]out which si[E]de you're[B] on
I k[G#m]now how h[F#]ard it [E]is to k[B]eep it [F#]in
[B]Oh no did it ri[E]p you apart?
To be told w[G#m]e could be kings
When we were d[E]amned from the s[F#]tart
[B]Oh no did it r[E]ip you apart?
They told us [G#m]we could be [F#]kings
When we were da[E]mned, da[A]mned from the s[B]tart
[F#] We've been living to the [G#m]left of the dial
Hoping dri[A]nks and denial will keep us h[E]ere
[F#] I'm not promising you s[G#m]ome bright side
Were trying to br[A]eak your stride
But you asked me,[E] you asked me
He was gone in an i[B]nstant
They say nobody was spa[G#m]red
Not gonna tell you he lo[E]ved you
Not gonna tell you he ca[F#]red
Well I've s[G#m]een en[F#]ough, en[E]ough to k[B]now
Somet[G#m]imes with the t[F#]ruth you gotta l[E]et it [B]go
I k[G#m]now how h[F#m]ard it i[E]s to k[B]eep it [F#]in
[B] I wont going r[E]ip you apart
And tell you, [G#m]you could be king
I don't wanna b[E]reak your h[F#]eart
[B] I won't going [E]rip you apart
So open [G#m]wide and you'll [F#]sing
Cause were all dam[E]ned [A]
Open w[G#m]ide and you'll [F#]see
Cause were all d[E]amned, d[A]amned from the s[B]tart
[G#m] [F#] [E] [B]
Were damned from the s[G#]tart[F#][E][B]
[G#] [F#] [E]
end on B
