"Live" tab

Transcribed by Suuuupaadave.

This is the most comprehensive tab I've ever done, so I apologize for any minor hiccups. Below you will find chord voicings, lyrics and chord symbols, and complete tablature for all of the fingerpicking. Take some time to look over the tabs and the chords before attempting to play through this as it takes a little practice to get the different rhythms down. Feel free to send me a message with any thoughts or comments on this tab. Thank you!

Verse 1
               G    Cmaj7
I’ve worked so long
      G               Cmaj7 
Every night and every day
             G                  Cmaj7   G/B
Been through hours and hours of research
    Am        Dsus2
And dozens of graves
            G    Cmaj7
The perfect girl
               G                Cmaj7 G/B
Turns out, was just too hard to find
Am           Am7/G
 So I had to make her
        D7/F#
But can I make her mine?

Pre Chorus
Bm
 Will she be friendly?
Em          
 Or will she break free?
         Am            Am7/G
Will she terrorize the villagers?
D7/F#
Will she notice me?

Chorus
G              Gmaj7/F#
 Hard work and science
    G7/F           C
Are what I have to give
Am                       Am7b5
 And all I’m asking in return
            Am7b5(let ring)
Is that you live

Verse 2
           G    Cmaj7
I know I’m smart
      G                 Cmaj
But a madman’s all they see
            G         Cmaj7
Now there’s finally a person
    G/B   Am          Dsus2
Who might love me for me
             G    Cmaj7
She holds my heart
         G               cmaj7 G/B
Like the way that I held hers
Am                  Am7/G
 The one from the cadaver
     D7/F#
Igor just disinterred

Pre Chorus
Bm
 Left nothing to chance now
Em
 Double-checked every stitch
    Am              Am7/G
The Tesla coils are charging up
D7/F#
 Igor, throw the switch

Chorus
G              Gmaj7/F#
 Hard work and science
    G7/F           C
Are what I have to give
Am                       Am7b5
 And all I’m asking in return
            Am7b5(let ring)
Is that you live

Bridge Lead In

|G Am|G/B Bb7|

Bridge
Eb              Bb
 They call me a monster
F             Bb
 For making a monster
Eb             Bb      Dsus2
 But what is a monster anyway?
Eb                      Bb
 Someone frightening the mob?
F                Bb
 Someone playing God?
Eb        Bb                    Ab
 Or is it someone too scared to understand
            Dsus2           D7sus2
And so they stand in love’s way?

Verse Lead In

|G Cmaj7| x2

Verse 3
              G   Cmaj7
Now here they come
                G                Cmaj7
Sounds like the rabble’s roused again
           G                 Cmaj7     G/B
With their torches and their pitchforks
 Am            Dsus2
About to break in

                G    Cmaj7
There’s just no point
             G         Cmaj7      G/B
In trying to make them understand
Am                     Am7/G
 I’ll wait here by her gurney
        D7/F#
Holding onto her hand

Pre Chorus
Bm
 Her eyes open slowly
Em
 She gives me a smile
Am                 Am7/G
Now we’ve got each other
D7/F#
 At least for a while

Chorus
G              Gmaj7/F#
 Hard work and science
    G7/F           C
Are what I have to give
Am                       Am7b5
 And all I’m asking in return
            Am7#11(let ring)
Is that you live

Lesson A Week Returns!

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support me even after an absence of 2 months. Big thanks to Jonathan, Paul and Storm, and of course Alora for getting me the new camera. This week I present to you a double header with a new lesson for "A Laptop Like You" and the Paul & Storm song "Live" which is in the style of JoCo. "Live" is posted in two parts, one with just the lesson, the other with just the play through. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help with anything I've posted.

I'm going to post a the tab for "Live" in another post until I can find a better place for it. Sorry if it clutters up the page, it'll likely be just a temporary place until I find somewhere good to host it.
