Distant And Faded Tab

 Distant and Faded –By Jamestown Story (Formerly “And Then I Turned Seven”)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard
Key: 
Notes: Strum patterns are indicated only in a few instances.
       This tab is written for a single guitar, though there is some
       electric guitar in the song.

Main chords used (I have shortened the chord names):

                      
e|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|
B|--1--|--1--|--3--|--5--|--0--|
G|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--x--|
D|--0--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--9--|
A|--3--|--3--|--5--|--7--|--9--|
E|--1--|--0--|--3--|--5--|--7--|

Intro:

              (x4)

            (x2)

Note: I think the strum pattern here is: V V V^V | ^ ^V^ ^V^
      Hence, for F/E and G, the first strum is an up-strum

Verse 1:

                                                 
And all these distant faded memories of everything I used to be
                                            
Are bringing me down; yeah, they're bringing me down
                                                  
And the leading cause of death I plead is from my insecurity
                                              
And it's bringing me down; yeah, it's bringing me down

Chorus:

       
Down........
       
Down........

Post-chorus:

           
Note: The strum pattern for the second half is V^ ^ ^V | ^ ^V V^
         

Verse 2:

                                                
Yeah, hope is all I really need to wash my selfishness and greed
                                                  
But there's no hope to be found; no, I've looked all around
                                           
And if this life that I've led only leads to tears in bed
                                        
Then I won't hang around; no, I won't hang around

Repeat chorus twice

Bridge:

Play the following riff twice:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----1------1------3------3-----5-------5-------3-------3-----|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|
A|-3------3------5------5------7------7-------5-------5---------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|

Note: Now, one guitar plays the chords below, while the other continues playing the riff 
 You can play the chords here as power chords, if you wish.

                                           
Now I've come to conclusions that I'm empty
                                     
I thought I still had everything in me


Repeat verse 1, except last line is:

And it's bringing me down; Down...

End on G
