------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AHEAD OF THE CURVE - Monsters of Folk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Song: Ahead Of The Curve Artist: Monsters of Folk Tabbed by: UsingThisName Capo on the 2nd fret This is a simple song to play. The rhythm and timing are very intuitive, and can be easily figured out by listening to the song. The verses and choruses are played the same way every time. I fully laid out the first verse as an example, and for the second verse I only included the chords to give a succinct visual. I apologies if I overcomplicated anything. Enjoy! Chords used: G, Em, C, D, Am INTRO (this is also the pattern repeated throughout the verses) GEGEm e|---3--0------3--0-----------| B|---0--0------0--0-----------| G|---0--0------0--0-----------| D|---0--2-4----0--2-4p2p0-----| A|---2--2------2--2-----------| E|-3-3--0----3-3--0-----------| VERSE GEm e|---3------0----| B|---0------0----| G|---0------0----| D|---0------2-4--| A|---2------2----| E|-3-3------0----| Another perfect day GEm e|---3-------0-----------| B|---0-------0-----------| G|---0-------0-----------| D|---0-------2-4p2p0-----| A|---2-------2-----------| E|-3-3-------0-----------| they keep piling up GEm e|---3------0----| B|---0------0----| G|---0------0----| D|---0------2-4--| A|---2------2----| E|-3-3------0----| C D I got happiness that I can't maintain so beginner's luck G Em I had shoes to fill G Em walkin' barefoot now. G Em Can't tell north from south C D but no split hairs gonna get me down. CHORUS C G I'm stayin' above the flat line C G I'm ahead of the curve. C G Take a piece of the sunshine with me Am D on a red eye to another world C G It isn't any trouble C G if you wanna come with me. C G I know it's out of the question, honey Am D but I sure could use the company C and a place to be. G VERSE Now the sky is pink rooftop swimmin' pool. I'm not care free, no I'm free to care I just never do. All the bags are checked and the reasons why. Yesterday lingers on that's the peace you can keep when you say goodbye. CHORUS You can get what you want now knock it out of the park. Bury it by the river Easy, there's a search party but it's gettin' dark. I won't hold you to nothin' I wanna make that plane. Probably end up a stranger, crazy buy I'm still hoping there's another way and a place to stay BRIDGE Em D C G What a scene has got you sentimental C Am D when the night comes, when the night comes loose. Em D C G All the things you've put up on the mantle C Am what a shame. What a shame. D It's old news CHORUS I'm stayin' above the flat line I'm ahead of the curve. Take a piece of the sunshine with me on an all night drive to another world You can get what you want now knock it out of the park. Probably end up a drifter, lonely but I'm still hoping for a change of heart and a place to start.
