GIVING UP THE GUN - Vampire Weekend
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: clementgb

Email: clmntgbrt@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

The whole song is based on the same pattern :
A - F#m - E - D

[Chorus]
A F#m
Your sword’s grown old and rusty
E D
Burnt beneath the rising sun
A F#m
It’s locked up like a trophy
E D
Forgetting all the things it’s done

And though it’s been a long time

You’re right back where you started from

I see it in your eyes

That now you’re giving up the gun

[Verse]
A
When I was 17
F#m
I had wrists like steel
E D
And I felt complete

And now my body fades

Behind a brass charade
And I’m obsolete

But if the chance remained

To see those better days

I’d cut the cannons down

My ears are blown to bits

From all the rifle hits

But I still crave that sound
