Dandelions Tab

by Five Iron Frenzy


Tabed by: aXman

This song starts with a horn intro, and then goes into a verse 
thats mostly bass with the guitar playing "ska chords"
(I think thats what they're called)  in the backround.
Dont play power chords till the pre chorus, and chorus.

"Ska chords" used for verse:
                    
e|--5--|  B|--9--|  B|--7--|
B|--5--|  G|--9--|  G|--7--|
G|--6--|  D|--9--|  D|--7--|

-Verse 1-
                  
In a field of yellow flowers
                  
Undeneath the sun
                         
Bluest eyes that spark with lightning
                      
Boy with shoes undone

-Pre Chorus 1-
                    
He is young so full of hope
              
Reveling in tiny dreams
                      
Filling up his arms with flowers 
                
Right for giving any queen

-Verse 2-
Running to her beaming bright
While cradeling his prize
A flickering of yellow light
Within his mothers eyes

-Pre Chorus 2-
She holds them to her heart 
Keeping them where they'll be safe
Clasped within her very marrow
Dandelions in a vase

-Chorus-
                
She sees love where 
                   
Anyone else would see weeds
         
All hope is found
                   
Here is everything he needs

-Verse 3-
Fathomless your endless mercy
Weight I could not lift
Where  do I fit in this puzzle
What good are these gifts

-Pre Chorus 3-
Not a martyr or a saint
Scarcely can I struggle through 
All that I have ever wanted 
Was to give my best to you

-Chorus 2-
Lord search my heart
Create in me something clean
Dandelions
You see flowers in these weeds

-Bridge-
                     
Gently lifting hands to heaven
                      
Softened by the sweetest hush
                      
A father sings over his children
             
Loving them so very much

-Pre Chorus 4-
More than words could warrant
Deeper than the darkest blue
More than sacrifice could merit
Lord I give my heart to you

-Chorus 2- x2 

I know that the end of the bridge doesn't totally sound right, 
Also if anybody knows what the real name for "ska chords" are,
