We Were Friends
Ellie Goulding
Kinda sad to find out no one seems to get this right. I looked the other version here and on 911 guitar and both are really really wrong. This tab is using this recording as audio reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9Ial-Wj2kk This one as chord shapes reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cpqbWv1G4w And well my ear. This really show cases Ellie’s guitar playing abilities! CAPO 4 Standard tuning. Even tho some chord shapes change to power chords during the chorus I guess you could play the "open" ones too. Am = x02210 (in the verses) / x32210 (in the chorus) C = x32010 (in the verses) / x35500 (in the chorus) G = 320030 if it’s too difficult you could also play a simple E = 022100) Em = 022000 (in the verses) / x79980 (in the chorus) D = x57700 * = LET IT RING INTRO: On pick only the string twice fast then change to and play immediately: (x4) Silently we were friends Guarding our country from traitors and new trends You were at the borders I am at the beaches Examining exactly what the enemy teaches Like presidents and pilots We turned a blind eye To letters over our heads Floating in the sky Those were the paper animals Signalling danger They are evolving And the world is a stranger No currency to drive us crazy No vehicles would drive us and make us lazy Ahah ahah to make us lazy Ahah ahah ohah Only time I fall Is when I feel Only time they notice I disappear And I can’t go back Without a counter attack And I can’t turn around It’s my mothers pride My mothers pride (STOP) INTRO: On pick only the string twice fast then change to and play immediately: (x2) So I’m close to somewhere else But we’re not going there We scan the forest floors Looking worse for wear For a life outside of ours ’Cause we are too shallow And too brave to hide our scars And step in ones shelter I am protective over you And the stories re-enact Getting word from the smallest of contact No currency to drive us crazy No vehicles would drive us and make us lazy oh oh oh oh ah ah / (STOP) Only time I fall Is when I feel Only time they notice I disappear When I see her When I see her When I see her every- Em Am (x4) (STOP) day INTRO: On pick only the string twice fast then change to and play immediately: (x2) Only time I fall Is when I feel Only time they notice I disappear When I see her When I see her When I see her every- Em Am (x4) (STOP) day ENJOY!! soundcloud.com/diego-a-m
