If I Ever Was A Child

To be honest, The verses sound much more like a chorus, and vice versa. But I'm pretty

sure everything is

labelled correctly.

 

Key is D# Mixolydian, sometimes going to D# Major. Capo on 1. All chords relative to

capo, transcribe the

whole tab one fret up for the true chords.

 

[Intro]

 

[Verse 1]

D Am

I've never been alone

G

Long enough to know

D

 

D Am

I was tied up like a boat

G

On a button like a coat

D

Set free for a while

 

[Chorus]

Em Gm

I'd jump to jolt my clumsy blood

D A

While my white, green eyes

 

[Verse 2]

D Am

Cry like a window pane

G

Can my cold heart change

D

Even out of spite?

 

[Solo]

D Am G D

 

[Chorus]

Em Gm D

I saw behind my brain a haunted stain

A

It never fades

Em Gm A

I hunt for the kind of pain I can take

 

[Verse 3]

D Am

And I cry like a window pane

G

Can my cold heart change

D

Over night?

 

D Am

So I won't ever want to touch

G

Your heart too much

D

Or hold you too tight

 

[Chorus]

Em Gm D

I saw behind my brain a haunted stain

A

I'll never fade

Em Gm A

I hunt for the kind of pain I can take

 

[Coda]

D Am

I never was alone

G

Long enough to know

D

If I ever was a child
