This is another kick-ass Goldfinger song. I did this as a request, and
I'm taking any you have off of Hang-ups, or from other cool ska-punk
bands. Anyways, enjoy this one:
[Intro]: feedback
[Verse]:
[D] [A] [B] [F#]
[D]The young boy has [A]turned into a [B]man, and he's growing
[F#]stronger. [D]He's battled through [A]things he thought he [B]could go
on no [F#]longer.
[Bridge]:
[C] [G] [E] [F] [C] [G] [E][Fii]
[C]The father stood [G]by his side, [E]wanting nothing [F]more than just
be his d[C]ad. But pride only a[G]nswers to one c[E]all, he only
con[Fii]demns him.
[1st Chorus]: (starts out bass only!)
Played during chorus:
[A--5b---]
And if the boy only knew his father's pain. The nights that
he stayed up late, wondered why. Doesn't he see the future
is so [D]bleak [C]so [G]bleak.
Solo:
[Verse]:
[D]Father's re[A]tired now,[B] he's left with TV and [F#]rest. [D]The weight
of the [A]world and what did he do [B]wrong, has gone to his
[F#]chest.
[Bridge]:
[C]He had[G] such a good life. [E]The family he [F]loved were all by his
side.[C] To his [G]son he whispered, &[E]quot;Goddamn [F]this pride."
[2nd Chorus]: (^-heavily palm muted)
[C] [F] [G] [F]
D^ G^ C^ D^ G^ C^ D C G
And if the boy only kn[C]ew his father's pa[F]in,[G] the nights that
F D^ G^ C^ D^ G^
he stayed up late, wondered why. The choices he made.
C^ D C G
Doesn't he see the future is so bleak, so bleak.
[Break]:
Play F# (let ring), then mess around with feedback.
Then:
Play these riffs over the chords at the top, with the chords heavily
palm muted:
F# B F# B F# B
(con't.)
[C#-D-C#] [B]
[Verse]:
[Am] [Dm] [Fii] [C]
[Am]So fk I'm all [Dm]by myself,[Fii] now you've gone [C]away. [Am]You've left
me all [Dm]by myself with that [Fii]fked up thing you [C]said.
[Bridge]:
(on[Fii]e gui[C]tar [A]play[Bb]s these chords, the other plays Fii until the Bb Bb Bb
part).
[Fii]If I could for[C]give myself,[A] you knew the [Bb]way. [Fii]Now I'm all [C]by
myself, a[A]nd I'm s[Bb]orry[Bb]. [Bb][Bb]
[Outro]:
[F] [Bb] [C] [F] [Bb] [F] [C] [F] [Gii] [Bb] [C]
But if you only [F]knew your son's [Bb]pain[C]. How bad that he wan[F]ted
you to s[Bb]ay "you're doing j[F]ust fi[C]ne, you turned out to be one
g[F]ood guy",[Gii] but [Bb]it's[C] too late.
Well? Whadya think? Please e-mail me and tell me I'm the king of
tab-world, or tell me I suck, I don't care. Also drop me a line if you've
got any changes, comments, questions about my work, or requests.
