Future Starts Slow
B F# B E G# C#
DROP B TUNING
DD-3 Pedal 50 delay time everything else 12 o'clock (volume up all the way)
A POG to lower octave like a bass
Intro (Played throughout song as well)

F# -4b-----8----------8-----|
B -------------8-----------|
(Later in the song he bails on the last 3 notes take a listen)
Also on that 4b...he bends it to make it sound like a 5 but you can just play a 5 if its
too much for your fingers (beginner tip)
This is the verse part (fixed it from what I originally had)
Note : he throws in mute notes every once and a while during the pauses

During the bridge "Theres a time for second best..."
(Listen for the tempo cause im only putting it as one note each but its a rapid down
stroke with the thumb until the switch) Sounds like some tremolo mixed with a second POG
organ sound.

(repeat while drums are going)
Alternate way to do this is to hit the low B string on the 12th fret
You can holler, you can wail
You can swing, you can flail
You can thump like a broken sail
But I'll never give you up
If I ever give you up my heart will surely fail
And after all God can keep my soul
England have my bones
But don't ever give me up
I could never get back up when the future starts so slow
No longing for the moonlight
No longing for the sun
No longer will I curse the bad I've done
If there's a time when your feelings gone, I wanna feel it
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
(I don't mind)
There's a time for the second best
And there's a time when the feeling's gone
But it's hard to be hard I guess
When you're shaking like a dog
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
(I don't mind)
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can blow what's left of my right mind
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what's left of my right mind
