Letters In Wartime Chords

[IamNick]

I was bored and tabbed out the chords for letters in wartime if anyone is interested:

 

(grrr it's putting in weird colours because i used the "code" textbox to maintain spacing)

this song is tuned a half step down!

Bb           B*       F             C
   There's a way over you don't go

Bb           B*               F           C
   Count the days all silent, pinned and roped

             Bb               F              C                Gm
Well there's dynamite in that tunnel for the matchbox in your head

         Bb          F            C                 Gm
You know, curious canaries suffer no fools in their stead

Gm     Bb       F        Gm
suffer no fools in their stead

Gm     Bb       F        Gm
suffer no fools in their stead

F       F

       Bb               Gm                F               F
We got lost at sea once night deceived oh no

       Bb                 Gm                   F                  F
Bitter tried you bleed, a bear that's treed oh no

          Gm                  Bb          F             F
Where not everything comes forgettable oh no

// guitar solo goes over this :P
Eb   Bb   F    F    x2

Eb        Bb

F    
This is the time I've waited for you

Eb
Bordered a line I can't ignore

Bb
Taken a life I've waited to come again

// more guitar solo over this
F    Eb   Bb   x3

// listen for the piano in this part
F              Bb     F        C 
     It's the only way that I talk

           Bb     Gm           Bb
And you've always known that it was

F              Bb     F          C
     It's the only way I can tell you

       Bb       Gm      Bb 
Like letters in wartime do

       Bb       Gm      Bb

F       F

     Bb              Gm                F               F
Been lost at sea for years deceived oh no

Bb                Gm                  F               F          
Chased by sets of French Corvettes oh no

          Gm                  Bb         F          F
Where not everything comes forgettable 

// more solo over this too
F    Eb   Bb   x3

I submitted this to www.ultimate-guitar.com so there should be a version up there soon. If there are any mistakes let me know!

 

Also, I might work out the solo bits later when I have time.

 

edit: hmm actually i just noticed a mistake, but now i can't edit the original post, the last lines should be 

          Gm                  Bb
Where not everything comes forgettable 

// more solo over this too
F    Eb   Bb   x3

I'll change this in the ultimate-guitar.com version when it goes up.

I probably haven't commented on this forum in 10 years, but I wanted to thank you for this. I always appreciate it when people put in time to do this sort of thing.

Any chance you wanna do that for Moment too? I'm good to learn stuff once I can see it, but generally don't have a great ear to figure stuff out for myself. My "Kid Down the Well" turned out decent, though I don't know if it's actually correct. Sounds good though.

[IamNick]

I might give Moment a try although my ear isn't that great either, in fact for Letters in Wartime I couldn't quite make out one of the chords and had to watch a video of him performing it on youtube to figure it out, haha.

[emmit643]

well, if you do I'd be into it. 

[emmit643]

actually, i found something that kind of works, though I don't necessarily think it's accurate.
