The Boy Come Home

[Longroad]

WOW I finally just heard this song and I can't stop listening to it, and jammin to it with my guitar. Why I didn't download this a long time ago I'll never know... anyone else like this song?

[soundless_space]

The first time I downloaded it, I listened to it over and over again. It's a lovely song.

[sockcrotch]

I should hope it appears on the new record.

[CaptainRocket]

My favourite new one so far.

[no yu begin wher i end]

Absolutely killer lyrics.

[c0rl0]

the boy come home, she's in it for the money, and metal airplanes are fantastic songs... i can't wait to hear them out of the studio.

[thewickernightmare]

To me, it sounds like it would make a good opening track on the record, thats the vibe I get from it anyways.

[WinstonSmith357]

I don't know about an opener...It's almost too complex right off the bat, but it's one of the most interesting bootlegs from the Acoustic Tour. I think he only played it a handful of times during it.

 

Great song.

Where did you get this song from and can I get a copy? I would also love to get metal airplanes as well if anyone has a copy to share.

Hey longroad, when you're jamming to it on your guitar, what chords do you use? I was actually going to sit down and figure it out this week sometime . . .perhaps you could save me some time . . .

[Longroad]

The song is tuned 1/2 step down and is basically just C,Em, and D without the small E string. So I just strum with those chords and pick notes of those chords like he does when he plays it. This section below is the only spot it changes.

 

Am Em D C Am

this aching heart ain't something I done

Am Em D

this aching heart's been handed down

C Em D C Em D

but I'm done with it now

 

 

then back to C, Em, and D

 

Hope this helps. I may just write it all down with the lyrics here soon if you want it. Very easy song to play, BUT a wonderful song it is !!

 

*edit sorry the spacing didn't come out the way it should have between the chord changes but I'm sure you can figure it out just play around with it. ;)
