For The Boys Tab

by Cardigans


For the longest time I wanted a tab for this but couldn't find one, so I figured I'd tab 
out for myself.
The intro is played through out the song and i'll put (intro) where it is played. Do 
you want with it.
Enjoy!

Intro: (NOT relative to capo)

E: ----------7---------------------7-------------|
B: -------10---10---10-7---8-----8---7---10------|
G: ---7-----------9----------7---------7----9^-7-|
D: -9---9----------------------9-----------------|
A: ----------------------------------------------|

Walk down the bass notes on the C at the end of each bar in the verse/chorus. ie. C -> 
-> A, or 3-3-2-0 on the A string.
Slide up the F to a G at the end of the pre-chorus.
The chords in the chorus are palm muted.
The chords in the bridge are all power chords on the A string, slide them up the neck.

(Intro)
(Intro) , , , 

               
Burn it all and break your home

                         
Cause this one's for the boys

                   
You're a vain and shameless man

                       
But hell, I love your voice

(Intro)
, , , 


                   
Skinny fingers and mumbling mouths

                        
I'd like to mark your words

                                                
'cause sometimes I don't trust you when you're singing

     
Of love and play

                  
It's the story of you


                 
Losing to your daydream

                      
You dancing with a smokescreen

                            
Goin' under with your daydream

                            
In the wake of a big machine

(Intro)
, , , 

Honey, honey, and money and man

               
All my lonely boys

                
Easy with the sleight of hand

                                 
You're talking sweet 'bout the pain and the ladies


                                        
And sometimes you look ugly when you're happy

                                         
And sometimes you look better when you're down

   
A real good song

                  
It's the story of you


                 
Losing to your daydream

                      
You dancing with a smokescreen

                            
Goin' under with your daydream

                                  
You're sliding through the big sleep


      
Man, you can sing

                                               
Like you're tryin' to break my heart

     
And you can hate

                                            
And you can blame it on the stars

                          
You're strung up in your guitar

                            
You're strung out on who you are

                          
Come on boys, it's time you let it go


(intro till end)


(Losing to your daydream)


(You dancing with a smokescreen)


(Goin' under with your daydream)


(You're sliding through the big sleep)

                       
See me losing to your daydream

                                    
See me dancing with your smokescreen

                        
Going under with your daydream

                            
In the wake of a big machine
