True Patriot Love Tab

by Joel Plaskett


Artist: Joel Plaskett
Song: True Patriot Love

He plays a lot of barre chords in this but I'm not sure
that all of them are...

On the part that alternates from Dm - F I like to play
them like this:

: x57765
 : x87565
(just move pinky up to the 8th on the Astring)


Intro:

harmonica in C alternating holes 678(out) -> 567(in & out)?
(I don't really know how to play the harmonica but this
 sorta sounds like it)

Guitar behind the harmonica:
   FF

Verse 1:
                      
Oh my love what have you done
                           
You sold yourself to another one
                            
And in the back of a big black car
                     
The chances are things went too far
                     
The chances are things went too far

Verse 2:
                       
Oh my love where have you gone
                       
Into the arms of another one
                               
Nothing I could do could make you stay
                     
Got carried along, got carried away
                    
Got carried along and away

Chorus:
                           
We all go out Then we all come home
                          
But I fall asleep with the TV on
                
At 3 AM they play "O Canada"
                           
True patriot love and lalalalala
                           
True patriot love and lalalalala

Intro Part:
(harmonica over this)
   FF

Verse 3: (like the other verses)
Oh my love what shall I do
When I think of you
Do you think of me too
You're saying my name
But it sounds all wrong
You wanna be loved
I just wanna belong
I wanna believe I belong

Chorus: (as before)
We all go out
Then we all come home
But I fall asleep with the TV on
At 3 AM oh say can you see
The dawn's early light has taken you from me
The dawn's early light has taken you from me

Intro Part:
(harmonica over this)
   FF

In this part he starts arpeggiating from the E to the F like this:
                                F#m#5   
E-1-------------------------------------------------|
B-1---------0---------------------------------------|
G-2------------1---------2--------------------------|
D-3-------2------2-----2---2-----0-------0-------3--|
A-3-----2----------2-0---------2---2---0---0---3----|
E-1---0----------------------3-------2-------1------|

                    
And we raise the white flag
                          F#m#5 
So they can paint it red and blue

Getting into bed seemed easy enough
				 
Getting out's a little harder to do (awh awhawh.... )

Verse 4: (like the others)
Oh my love go back to the beginning
You're like a broken record
But the record's still spinning
Nothing I could do could make you play
Got carried along
Got carried away
Got carried along and away

Chorus:
We all go out
Then we all come home
But I fall asleep with the TV on
At 3 AM they play "O Canada"
True patriot love and lalalalala
True patriot love and lalalalala
True patriot love and lalalalala

True patriot love

I'm not too sure how it ends here but
I think this might sounds good:

Gtr1:
   

Gtr2:        OR Gtr2:
E-13-12-13----	E-13-12-10----|
B----------13-	B----------13-|
G-------------	G-------------|
D-------------	D-------------|
A-------------	A-------------|
E-------------	E-------------|
