Chris Sligh - Empty Me
This tab is pretty close, there is so much blending in the song, that it is hard to hear
a lot of the exact harmonies, so I think there are probably a few chord variations I am
missing that hold the thing together, the solos are pretty close, they should at least
give you an idea of where you should be and what you should be playing. Enjoy!
Capo 1 (Chords relative to this)
[D] [Dsus2] [Asus4] [A] [G] [Bm]
(During the Chorus, use the 'power chord' variations of these chords)
Intro:
I've had just enough of the spotlight, when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood
[D] And I've tasted my share of the sweet life, and the wild ride
[Dsus2] And found a little is [Asus4]not quite eno[A]ugh
I kn[Dsus2]ow how I can stray
And how [Dsus2]fast my heart could change
Empty m[D]e
Of the [G]selfishness inside
Every v[Bm]ain ambi[A]tion and the [G]poison of my pride
And any [D]foolish thing my [G]heart holds to
Lord em[Bm]pty meso I can [G]be filled with you
Short solo post chorus:
[D] I've seen just enough of th[G]e quick buys, of the [D]best lies
[Dsus2] To know how prodigals could[Asus4] be drawn awa[A]y
I know how I can st[Dsus2]ray
And how [Dsus2]fast my heart could change
Empty m[D]e
Of the [G]selfishness inside
Every v[Bm]ain ambi[A]tion and the [G]poison of my pride
And any [D]foolish thing my [G]heart holds to
Lord em[Bm]pty meso I can [G]be filled with you
Bridge:
Cause ever[Bm]ything is a le[A]sser thing comp[G]ared to you, com[G]pared to you
Bm A G (solo)D G D
Cause everything is a lesser thing compared to you so I surrender all
Solo Over Bridge
Solo
Empty me Of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
Empty m[D]e
Of the [G]selfishness inside
Every v[Bm]ain ambi[A]tion and the [G]poison of my pride
And any [D]foolish thing my [G]heart holds to
Lord em[Bm]pty meso I can [G]be
Lord em[Bm]pty me some[A]thing so I can [G]be filled with y[D]ou[G]
Filled with y[D]ou[G]
Empty m[D]e
