Song: Guinevere
Tuning: Standard
This tab should be pretty close to the album version of the song. You can either play
the riffs for the intro/verse 1 as i've tabbed out below or play the chords which i've
also put above the lyrics. The two G chords with the asterisk (*) are only played if you
are not playing the tabbed riff.
(Chords in Parenthesis are the base chords for each riff, the 'base' chords are shown below):

C
She's got a bumper like a billboard
G
Covered in stickers of her favorite band
Am
She's got a handful of records that she turns to
F
When she needs to land
Am G* (play this if not picking riff above for Verse)
She's a saturday night parade through the streets
FG
That all eyes some to see including me
(Drums enter; Repeat First Riff above--Same as first part of the verse)
CG
She carries memories around like souvenirs down in her pockets
AmF
She should have let some go by now but can't seem to drop it
Am G* (same as G* above)
Says forgiveness ain't nothing but a lifeless tire on the
F
shoulder of her soul
G
That never rolls
Chours:
AmFC
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
AmFC
For as much as she runs she's still here
AmGFC
Always hoping to find something quicker than heaven
CCG
To make the damage of her days disappear
FGAmFC
Just like Guinevere
CG
She don't hold onto nothin' new for very long
Am
Yeah she writes you in as just one more tale
F
and then you're gone
AmG
'Cause she once fell hard 'cause she dropped her guard
FG
And no one gets to stay it's just too late
(Repeat Chorus)
AmFC
Just like Guinevere
AmFC
For as much as she's stumbled she's runnin'
AmFC
For as much as she runs she's still here
(Repeat Chorus)
AmFC
Oh Just like Guinevere
(instrumental)
