----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damascus - Dave Hause ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Liese13 email: annika.westermann@gmx.de This one's track no. 1 off the latest record "Devour".It gets pretty heavy in the last chorus but you can still play it as an acoustic version as well. Only the strumming changes for that last chorus. As for the Am Intro (which is the same as the Am in the verse), you gotta find a variation if you really want it to sound like the original(releasing the D string works for me). If you have other suggestions or feedback, feel free to leave a comment :-) tuning: standard, no capo Chords used: Am, C, F, G, Em, E Intro: Am (variation) Verse: Am Welcome my friends to the show C G Dance and drink if you'd like or sit back and take notes Am It's a fine night to test what you know C G Who you fear who you love and who you cling to for hope F G ooooooh ooooooooh F G ooooooh ooooooooh Am There's strange stifling smell in the air C G Cigarette smoke, perfume and a tinge of despair Am I guess we should all get prepared C G Load your guns, take your pills and start saying your prayers F G Say your prayers F G Say your prayers ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dave_hause/damascus_crd.html ) Chorus: C EG I promised that this wouldn't happen to me C I promised that this wouldn't happen to me Em F G E Am I've got scales grow over my eyes and I can't see Verse: Am If I falter as this moves along C G Don't you stop me to ask if there's anything wrong Am Your best bet's to just move along C G Throw my bones in the river and write me a song F G Sing these songs F G Sing these songs Chorus: C Gm I promised that this wouldn't happen to me C Gm I promised that this wouldn't happen to me C Now I'm stockpiling bullets and vitamin c Em G oh noooo noooooo C I promised that this wouldn't happen to me Em F G E Am I've got scales grow over my eyes and I can't see F Am Oooooooh Bridge: F G Am Say your prayers F G Am Say your prayers ooooooh F G Sing these songs F G Sing my songs Chorus: C Gm I promised that this wouldn't happen to me C Gm I promised that this wouldn't happen to me C Now I'm stockpiling bullets and vitamin c Em G oh noooooo nooooo C I promised that this wouldn't happen to me Em F G E Am Take the scales off my eyes I'm trying to see
