Young Lions - The Maccabees

My first real tab, feedback would be welcome :D

This is how i play this song using just chords, not lead parts.
However, from this, with a bit of knowledge of scales etc
you can figure out the lead parts.
I might repost later with the lead parts added. 

In the quieter parts
D*| x x 0 14 15 14
Bm*| x x 0 16 15 14


The louder more upbeat parts
D| x 5 7 7 7 5
Bm| x 2 4 4 3 2
F#m| 2 4 4 2 2 2
A| 5 7 7 6 5 5

Higher 
| x 9 11 11 10 9

*
Roses in the car
*
Roses in the car
*
Bony saddle, bony street
*
Corrugated iron sheet
*
This bed is not concrete
*
This bed in which you sleep
*
Flesh is flesh til blood runs cold
*
And blood is blood, so I am told

*, *, *, *
*, *, *, *


*
Your carbon makes a star
*
Your carbon makes a star
*
And after all, that's all we are
*
After all, that's all we are

Still play the "Quieter" chords, but more vigorously
*
That's all we are
*
That's all we are
*
That's all we are
*
That's all we are
*
That's all we are
*
That's all we are
*
That's all we are
*
That's all we are

Now you switch to the ordinary chords for a bit, playing the "Higher" , and 
sliding up to it from the .

|                  |               |
All these young men, these young lions
|                  |               |
All these young men, these young lions


*
You don't know if it's true
*
Or if to believe in you
*
There are tunnels through the stone
*
Where weaker hearts have made a home


*
Their roses in a car
*
Their roses in a car
*
And after all that's all we are
*
After all that's all we are


The ordinary F#m is played here instead of the higher one.


And isn't it bizarre

The adults that we are

Still playing

Follow the leader



Body don't break

Body don't break

Body don't break

Til broken


Body gonna make

Body gonna make

Body gonna make

Another body


Wooooo-oooo-ooooaahh, woooah oh

Don't want to be the last to leave.
