People Of The Sky - Sloan Tabbed by Adam Bishop Take three – May 2004, after this has been sitting here probably completely wrong for five years. I still don't know what the hell is going on, but I don't think it's as complicated as I made it the first two times. For the scratchy sounding acoustic intro, the chord formations: A - x02220 C - x32013 Gsus2 - 35x435 Dmaj7 – x57779 A C I once knew a pair that used to fit very tight Gsus2 Dmaj7 Gsus2 A But now a man's standing tall in the wake of this night A Gsus2 Dmaj7 His eyes are watering in anger at the thought of her sight A (Fill 1) (Fill 2) The scene of adultery sets the stage for his plight Fill 1: | Fill 2: E|------|--------- B|------|--------- G|------|--------- D|--7---|----7---- A|---7--|--------- E|------|--------- The fills are on an electric guitar. They seem to a little out of place, as if someone was just getting ready to start playing. Anyway, the verses are played with at least 3 electric guitars: two playing the chords and another playing the riffs. Here are the chords: A5 - 577xxx C5 - x355xx G5 - 355xxx D5 - x577xx C5/G - 3355xx D5/A - 5577xx Riff 1 is played in verses 1, 3, and 5. Riff 2 is played at the end of each verse. Riff 3 is played in verses 2 and 4. A5 C5 On an innocent trip how can one ruin so much G5 A5 C5/G D5/A A belief in a soul, in a beauty, or in a touch A5 C5/G D5/A It's like a three legged dog in search of a crutch A5 (riff 2) Dissecting in past all the motors and such She once loved this person in a trial out of sight Disposing of the present situation, it felt right Two winters and summers passed over like a sound And now the two of them are lost in a screaming battleground With support all around him like a fence or a drink He realises his sadness that now he must begin to think To filter his energy upon losses and fame She'll break up with the restful, the peaceful, or the gain His sister's a friend, she's like a relative to both Obliged to her brother under silhouetted oath But she's there for the two with her bias undone And she'll help see it through under moonlight or sun But today they've still yet to look each other in the eye And in a second he manages to dip to the other side Up to the people of the sky And now he'll never die Riff 1: E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- B|-5--5-5-5-5--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-8--10--10-10-10-10--14--14-14-14-14-14-14-14-- G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Riff 2: E|------------------------------- B|------------------------------- G|------------------------------- D|------------------------------- A|--4-----5----4--4-----5--4----- E|-----5-------------5--------5-- Riff 3 (something like this): E|------------------------------------------------------------------- B|------------------------------------------------------------------- G|-9--9--9-9-9-9--9--9--9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9-9-9--9--9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9/- D|------------------------------------------------------------------- A|------------------------------------------------------------------- E|------------------------------------------------------------------- Outro: Keep playing verse chords once; over this, one guitar plays Riff 3, another plays Riff 4 Part 1 (with Riff 3; 2:37-3:03): E|--------------------------------------------------------------------- B|--------------------------------------------------------------------- G|-------------------------------------------------------5--------7---- D|------------------------------------------------------5--------7----- A|--------------3--------------------------------------3--------5------ E|--5--3--0--3-----3--0--3--5--3--0--3--5--3--0--3----3--------5------ E|-------------------------------------------------- B|-------------------------------------------------- G|------------------------------------5--------7---- D|-----------------------------------5--------7----- A|--4-----5----4--4-----5--4--------3--------5------ E|-----5-------------5--------5----3--------5------- E|------------------------------------------------------------ B|------------------------------------------------------------ G|------------------------------------------------------------ D|------------------------------------------------------------ A|--4-----5----4--4-----5--4-----4-----4----4--4-----5--4----- E|-----5-------------5--------5-----5-------------5--------5-- Part 2 (3:03 - end of song; no riff 3) E|--------------------------------------------------------------------- B|--------------------------------------------------------------------- G|-------------------------------------------------------5--------7---- D|------------------------------------------------------5--------7----- A|--------------3--------------------------3-----------3--------5------ E|--5--3--0--3-----3--0--3--5--3--0--3--5-----0--3----3--------5------- E|-------------------------------------------------- B|-------------------------------------------------- G|------------------------------------5--------7---- D|-----------------------------------5--------7----- A|--4-----5----4--4-----5--4--------3--------5------ E|-----5-------------5--------5----3--------5------- E|------------------------------------------------------------ B|------------------------------------------------------------ G|------------------------------------------------------------ D|------------------------------------------------------------ A|--4-----5----4--4-----5--4-----4-----4----4--4-----5--4----- E|-----5-------------5--------5-----5-------------5--------5-- E|--------- B|------0-- G|-----6--- D|----7---- A|---7----- E|--5------
