Chord David Bazan Forest Fires Versi 1

I recently saw Mr. Bazan in concert and wanted to play some of his new songs. Saw
a bunch of requests for tabs on YouTube so here they are. Any
questions/suggestions drop me a line at tchockfan@gmail.com


Verse 1

A Ab / A F G D A Ab / A
You used to feel like a smoker. Shivering in the cold.

F G D A Ab / A
Waiting outside the bar 'til the opener's over.


A Ab / A F G D A Ab / A
But now you feel like a drinker - twenty days off the sauce.

F G D A F Ab / A
Down at the liquor store, trying to call your sponsor.



Chorus 1

Cmaj C#min C#min/ C Bb
You used to feel like a forest fire burning,

F Ab / A Cmaj
but now you feel like a child

C#min C#min/C F X (mute all strings and strum)
throwing tant---rums for your turn.



Verse 2

A Ab / A F G D A Ab / A
You used to feel like a prophet and everyone wanted to know,

F G D A Ab / A
how you could tell the truth without losing that soft glow.

A Ab / A F G D A Ab / A
But now you feel like a preacher, evoking the flames of hell.

F G D A F Ab / A
Some drunk fisherman chasing after the white whale.



Chorus 2 (same as the first)

You used to feel like a forest fire burning,
but now you feel like a child throwing tantrums for your turn.

You used to feel like a prodigal returning,
but now you hate what you made and you want to watch it burn.

End on F
