Standard Tuning [EADGBe]
Capo 1 (Tab relative to capo)
Legend: ( ) – Note does not have to be played, but can be
h – Hammer on
p – Pull off
I’m pretty sure Elliott plays this differently, but I think this sounds pretty
similar to the recording.
Here are the chords first:
: |-0-| : |-0-| : |-0-| : |-0-| |-0-|
|-2-| |-1-| |-3-| |-5-| |-0-|
|-2-| |-2-| |-0-| |-0-| |-0-|
|-2-| |-2-| |-2-| |-5-| or |-2-|
|-0-| |-0-| |-3-| |-2-| |-2-|
|---| |---| |---| |-0-| |-0-|
: |-0-| : |-3-| : |-0-| : |-2-| : |-1-|
|-7-| |-1-| |-1-| |-3-| |-1-|
|-0-| |-0-| |-0-| |-2-| |-2-|
|-7-| |-2-| |-2-| |-0-| |-3-|
|-0-| |-3-| |-2-| |(0)| |-3-|
|---| |---| |-0-| |---| |-1-|
Note: The chord labeled "Asus2" is not actually Asus2; I just couldn't find a name for it.
Now, the sections that go [Em Cmaj Em Cmaj] can be strummed, but Elliott plays
something like this:
|-----------------------------------|
|-------0--------------1------------|
|-------0-------------------0-------|
|-------2----------2------------2---|
|-------2---0h2---------------------|
|---0---0---------------------------|
That’s not exact, but it’s pretty easy to figure out the strumming if you listen
to the song.
No bad dream fucker's going to boss me around
Christian Brothers going to take him down
But it can't help me get over
Don't be cross, it's sick what I want
I've seen the boss blink on and off
Fake concerns is what's the matter, man
And you think I ought to shake your motherfucking hand
Well, I know how much you care
Don't be cross, it's sick what I want
I've seen the boss blink on and off
Come here by me, I want you here
Nightmares become me, it's so fucking clear
Solo:
Don't be cross, it's sick what I want
I've seen the boss blink on and off
Come here by me, I want you here
Nightmares become me, it's so fucking clear
Nightmares become me, it's so fucking clear
If you want to play the solo while you strum the chords, here is what I do.
Again, it’s not exact, but you can figure out how to play it on your own pretty
easily.

So that’s pretty much it… Have fun learning and playing this song, and I hope
this tab helped you out.
