Title: Whatever it takes
Artist: Tom Morello as The Nightwatchman
Album: The Fabled City
--> Update 6.10.08 ...ok i fixed the solo part
Tuning: 1/2 step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
I don't know how Tom plays it but i think with 1/2-step-down-tuning it's very easy.
I'm not happy about the solo ...maybe someone can tab this better ...
Have fun!

Chord Version
Intro (Riff 1)
Verse 1
A5
Storm clouds won't bother together
Sheet cashed in, cut the tether
She's gone, its no mistake
The angels have come too late
They've come too late
G
In my hands I hold the proof
Chorus:
A5
That something sure that hits you
G
Pure flesh and bone to rip through
Em D Dsus4 D
Don't let em tie you to the stake
Whatever it takes
A5
Floodwaters raise the ramparts
G
I'll meet you now wherever you are
Em D Dsus4 D
I'm here until the front line breaks
Whatever it takes
Verse 2:
A5
Then she turned off the headlights
Cranked the radio, ran the red lights
Never found the missing brad
Window's dark but they're all inside
Their all inside
G
In my hands I hold the proof
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
A5
A general without an army
I stopped looking, then they found me
On the hill a horn is blowing
It's over man, you just don't know it
(Chorus)
A5
Climb backwards through the red room
G
A jungle of thieves to get through
Em
Time's up D Dsus4 D
How long you gonna waste?
Whatever it takes
A5
So Jack, grab paper and pen
G
I'll say it once, we'll say it again
Em D Dsus4 D
Loosen the core until it shakes
Whatever it takes
Riff 1
Whatever it takes
Riff 1
end on A5
