Song: Soot + Stars
Tuning: Standard
Notes on the Tab:
*For the sake of time, I didn't really lable the chords and just named them by the base,
in the diagrams, that is how I play them, and they are always played in that order.
*The notes in (x) are ones that I decide to play on whims to mix it up a little since it
a long song.
*Obviously this is a much simplified way of playing the song, and even more so, it is my
of playing the song, so change the chord figerings and plunkings to whatever you want.
**This song is meant for a piano, yet this tab is for a guitar.
**This tab is really just because I like playing the song, yet can't play piano.
Listening to the song should help you get the strumming.

A E D C E D C
A
A E
the words flow
D C
decisions made
E D
idea's mine
C A
but the inspiration not
A E
dreams of hangers-on
D C
dreams of getting well
E D
spells of esmeralda
C A
amarose fortold
G D C A
splinters in the eye
G D C A
sentiments remain
G D
bones are never asked
A C
where are we going to
G D
it was never up to me
C A
and yet i pushed until it broke
A E D C E D C
A
A E
i love the open road
D C
and all that it suggests
E D
wheelwagon dust
C A
weeds and infidelities
A E
and always swore our love
D C
never questioned why
E D
in a wooden house
C A
immovable and silent
G D C A
and drinking strawberry wine
G D C A
forever lost in town
G D
and through the sleeping streets
A C
nightbound and heavy
G D
wheels in a spoke
C A
just a spoken foreign sound
A E D C E D C
A
A E
know my gates are high
D C
my friends even higher
E D
forgotten in my mind
C A
yet the scars still lingering
A E
cloud the blue skies
D C
i'm jealous of you birds
E D
was the only truth
C A
in a world full of words
G D C A
hear the prairie sound
G D C A
in a friend called neil
G D
the heart is pointed down
A C
but my spirit pointed up
G D
his voice the siren
C A
of greek mythology
A E
i pause with my pen
D C
i begin to defend
E D
every action taken
C A
every moment sealed
A E
when i was quick
D C
it coursed through open veins
E D
the will to live
C A
the urgency to move
A E
behind a panel door
D C
sealing cherry stain
E D
i played my guitar
C A
and lived those lonesome notes
G D C A
like a dog that's down
G D C A
in a corner just aside
G D
waiting to be called
A C
waiting to be yours
G D
ghosts of a machine
C A
without purpose or will
A E D C E D C
A
A E
i'll often speak of you
D C
but the you was always me
E D
'cause when i speak of me
C A
it's me i ask of you
A E
so let there be no truth
D C
just trickery in rhymes
E D
time the only thing
C A
waiting still is death
G D C A
i hope for resolution
G D C A
pray one defining moment
G D
pause without restraint
A C
barren without child
G D
a child is who i was
C A
a child is who i'll die
G D
(bar played with no lyrics)
C A
a child is who i'll die
G D
soot in my hair
C A
and stars in my hands
G D
soot in my hair
C A
and stars in my hands
G D
soot in my hair
A C
*
and stars in my hands
