We Could Be Kings

E|E|E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------||| 

We Could Be Kings - Dave Hause - Devour
Standard tuning (EADGBe)
Arranged by Jack Cookson (Torn_Asunder)
E|E|E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------||| 

Dave tends to play these as powerchords, but sometimes puts in the third.
Either way, it's up to you. If you're a beginner to barre chords,
try transcribing the tab with the tool on the left to G voicings, and stick
a capo on 4th.

               B
So this is rejection
                      G#m
And it's bringing you down
                            E
He told you that he'd find work soon
                        F#
Then he stopped coming around
                         B
That was the summer of sweet nights
                          G#m
He used to take you for rides
                            E
But it all changed in the backseat
          F#
He came inside

           G#m   F#       E
Well he's seen enough to know
     B     G#m     F#          E         B
Hes old enough to know whats right from wrong
   G#m       F#     E         B        F#
I know how hard it is to see things through

B              E
Oh no did it rip you apart?
            G#m
To be told we could be kings
              E               F#
When we were damned from the start
B             E
Oh no did it rip you apart?
             G#m         F#
They told us we could be kings
               E       A              B
When we were damned, damned from the start

                  B
You told him you loved him
                      G#m
But push had come to shove
                     E
There were no easy answers
                  F#
Mixing money and blood
                          B
He was too young to know better
                G#m
And you were unemployed
                         E
The sergeant promised a cake walk
                  F#
But then he got deployed

      G#m   F#       E      B
I've seen enough, enough to know
     G#m   F#          E        B
It's not about which side you're on
   G#m      F#     E      B      F#
I know how hard it is to keep it in

B              E
Oh no did it rip you apart?
            G#m
To be told we could be kings
              E               F#
When we were damned from the start
B             E
Oh no did it rip you apart?
             G#m         F#
They told us we could be kings
               E       A              B
When we were damned, damned from the start


F#                          G#m
   We've been living to the left of the dial
          A                            E
Hoping drinks and denial will keep us here
F#                        G#m
   I'm not promising you some bright side
                 A
Were trying to break your stride
                 E
But you asked me, you asked me

                   B
He was gone in an instant
                       G#m
They say nobody was spared
                        E
Not gonna tell you he loved you
                        F#
Not gonna tell you he cared

           G#m   F#      E        B
Well I've seen enough, enough to know
     G#m            F#              E     B
Sometimes with the truth you gotta let it go
   G#m      F#m     E     B      F#
I know how hard it is to keep it in

B               E
  I wont going rip you apart
              G#m
And tell you, you could be king
               E          F#
I don't wanna break your heart
B               E
  I won't going rip you apart
        G#m             F#
So open wide and you'll sing
                  E      A
Cause were all damned
      G#m            F#
Open wide and you'll see
                E       A               B
Cause were all damned, damned from the start


G#m  F#   E   B

                      G#   F#  E   B
Were damned from the start
