Dashboard Confessional Hands Down Guitar Tab

I'm uploading this song, but did not tab it. I just put in the lyrics.

The following email was attached to the original tab.

sneekapeek37@yahoo.com

I believe that not all of this is correct, and I'm not

that good of a guitarist so please fix it. I think the part

where it goes in the verse like the following isn't right.

7-/-6

5-/-4

And the part in the chorus

--6-7-6------

-4-----4-----

5--------5--

is not correct either.

So if you can fix it, please email me at

It's in standard tuning but a half step down: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb

Here's the intro lick:

E--------------------------------

B--------------------------------

G--------1---------1-2-----------

D------4---2-----4---------4/6---

A----2---------2---------2-------

E--0---------0---------0---------

Riff ends with:

D-------4--1--

A----2--4--2--

E--0----------

Verse: These are the root chords, a second guitar is muting other notes

"Breathe in for luck..."

E------------------------------------------------

B------------------------------------------------

G-----------6---------------4--------7-\-6------- REPEAT

D--2--------6(PM)---7-------4(PM)----7-\-6-------

A--2(PM)----4-------7(PM)---2--------5-\-4-------

E--0----------------5----------------------------

-He does a few stops here and there but it's all the same chords

Chorus:

"My hopes are so high..."

E Abm A Abm Repeat chorus:

E-----0-------4------5-------4-------------------

B-----0-------4------5-------4-------------------

G-----1-------4------6-------4-------------------

D-----2-------6------7-------6--------6-7-6------

A-----2-------6------7-------6-------4-----4-----

E---0-0-------4------5-------4------5--------5---

The second time through the chorus he ends it differently:

E Abm A Abm

E-----0-------4------5-------4----------

B-----0-------4------5-------4----------

G-----1-------4------6-------4-----6---- To verse:

D-----2-------6------7-------6-----6--6-

A-----2-------6------7-------6-----4--6-

E---0-0-------4------5-------4--------4-

The second verse and second chorus are exactly the same (except for some stops in the verse) After the second chorus he breaks into the bridge/outro section:

Bridge/outro: These are the chords being played, a second guitar is picking through some other stuff which is at the bottom:

"Hands down this is the..." End On:

E---0----------0----------------------- E--0---

B---0----------0--------9--------7----- B--0---

G---9---------14--------9--------8----- G--9---

D---9---------14--------9--------9----- D--9---

A---7---------12--------7--------9----- A--7---

E--------------------------------7----- E------

Guitar 2 is playing this during bridge:

E--------------------------------------------------------------

B--------------------------------------------------------------

G-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-6-8-9-8-9-8-9-6-8-9-8-9-8-9-8--

D------------------------------9-------------9-----------------

A--------------------------------------------------------------

E--------------------------------------------------------------

-over and over and over with slight variation at the end.

Lyrics

Verse 1:

Breathe in for luck, Breathe in so deep

This air is blessed, You share with me

This night is wild, So calm and dull

These hearts they race from self-control

Your legs are smooth as they graze mine

We're doing fine, We're doing nothing at all.

Chorus:

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me

So won't you kill me, so I die happy

My heart is yours to fill or burst

to break or bury, or wear as jewelery

Which ever you prefer

Verse 2:

The words are hushed lets not get busted,

just lay entwined here undiscovered.

Safe in here from all the stupid questions..

"hey did you get some?"

Man, that is so dumb.

Stay quiet, stay near, stay close

they can't hear, so we can get some.

Chorus:

Bridge/Outro:

Hands down this is the best date I can ever remember

I'll always remember the sound of the stereo

The dim of the soft lights, the scent of your hair

That you twirled in your fingers

And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late

And this walk that we shared together

The streets were wet and the gate was locked

So I jumped it and let you in

And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist

And you kissed me like you meant it

And I knew, that you meant it

That you meant it, that you meant it

And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it.
