Faithless Tab

by City And Colour


Hi, this is my first tab, but I'm sure I got it right.  I caught the banjo part by ear 
tried to imitate it as best as possible on guitar.  Because of this, this song is doable 
2 guitars.  Guitar 1 will be your banjo part and solo.  Guitar 2 will be your 
chords.  Hope you enjoy it!  :]

~ = let ring

Guitar 1:
e|---3-3h2-----------------------|
B|----0---3----------------------|
G|-0~----------------------------|  X 4
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|


e|---3-0---/5-3---3h2------------|
B|-----1-0-----------3-1-0-0-----|
G|-0~--0--------0~---------------|  X 1
D|-------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|

Repeart that through the verses.  For the chorus I couldn't make out the banjo part, 
I did do a rough imitation of it and it seems similar to that, but I'm not sure and it got 
on my part.  Sorry.

Guitar 2:
Verse:
   G   Dadd9
e|-3-----3-----------|
B|-3-----3-----------|
G|-0-----0-----------|  Figure out strumming pattern.  Below I'll post the
D|-0-----2-----------|  lyrics and what spot and show what spots to change
A|-2-----3-----------|  chords.  The strumming pattern is very easy.
E|-3-----0-----------|

Chorus:
   G    Em   Dadd9
e|-3-----3-----3-----|
B|-3-----3-----3-----|
G|-0-----0-----0-----|  Again, figure out strumming pattern and below I'll
D|-0-----2-----2-----|  post the lyrics and what spots to change chords.
A|-2-----2-----3-----|  The strumming pattern is very easy.
E|-3-----0-----0-----|


Verse 1:

G
Please believe in what I say
      Dadd9                        G
Cause I’m running out of ways to convey

G
This lack of faith in myself

      Dadd9                      G
That's becoming my own personal hell

Chorus:

G           Em         Dadd9
Vicious cold now settles in

G                    Em                    Dadd9
My bones feel like their breaking through my skin

G             Em         Dadd9
Well god damn you you're feeding on my loneliness

G       Em          Dadd9                   G
What an awful way to live, what a way to live


Verse 2:
G
Get me out of this place

G           Dadd9                                    G
Cause I'm stuck in a rut and I can't stomach the taste

G
My lungs are filling up with dust

G           Dadd9                                G
I feel bruised and broken with no one left to trust

Chorus:

G           Em       Dadd9
Vicious cold now settles in

G               Em                         Dadd9
My bones feel like their breaking through my skin

G        Em         Dadd9
God damn you you're feeding on my loneliness

G     Em            Dadd9                 G
But I will not let you win, I won't let you win

For the guitar solo, Guitar 2 should just play the verse, while Guitar 1 plays the following.

Guitar 1:
Solo:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------3-----------------------------1---5-3---------|
G|---4-2-4---2h-4---4---2h-4-2-0---4p-2p-0h-2-0---0-----4-2-0---| X 2
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|


I can't really make out the rest, although I know on the B string there's a
---3-2-3-2-3-2----  And somewhere further along, a ---5-4-5-4-5-4---

I also know it ends on an open G string.  I've made out little snippets of the rest, but 
cannotbe so sure.

Hope this was helpful and those who wanted to pla the banjo part on guitar liked this as 
as others!  Thanks for readin' mates!
