Love Don't Die by The Fray
Love Don't Die
Notes*:
-The verses in this are very "riff-heavy" rather than
a simple chord progression
-Where I put the name of the chord name in the verse is
where beat 1 is, it doesn't necessarily mean you play the chord
but hey play the song however you want if it works for ya.
these tabs are just a reference and the song itself is open
for interpretation.
-If you see a slash ( Chord\ ) after a chord name it usually just
means hold. I'm trying to say the dynamics are softer after that
beat
-If you see an X that just means I mute myself there and make
the least amount of noise possible. Sometimes i'll just hit my
muted strings real hard on the down beat, but DON'T let anything
ring out.
-In the TAB the little b's mean VERY slight bends and the big B's
mean bend to the next note. With little b's you really don't even have
to do them if you either can't or just don't them. VERY few people will
notice.
-All the chords on the chorus switch on beat 1 EXCEPT for
the A(Diminished) you switch to that last chord on beat 3
/----------------------------------------------------------\
| -All the "Riffs" and other melodies and counter-melodies |
|can be found at the end (the bottom) of the tab. |
\----------------------------------------------------------/
-This is my first time using a Mac when I submit a tab and
when you do the submission it's not in Courier New (Font that
is perfect for tabs) so I copied and paste this from a google document
with Courier New. PLEASE let me know if the format is messed up in any way
-All the B5's can totally be Bm's if you want to put a full triad in the chord
In the recording there's actually no chords being played just the riff under the
verses, pre-choruses, and the bridge

If I know one thing, that's true
It ain't what you say, it's what you do
And you don't say much, yeah, that's true

A thousand years go by
But love don't die
If I know one thing, that's true
It's that I'm never leaving you
And you don't say much, yeah, that's true
But I lose it when you do
Don't let them tell no lie

And even if they try
They'll never take my body from your side
Love don't die
She can break it up
Shake your money down
You can box it in
Bury it in the ground
You can close it off and turn it away
Try to keep it down, six feet in the ground
But love don't die
No matter where we go
Or even if we don't
And even if they try
They'll never take my body from your side
Love don't die
No matter where we go
Or even if we don't

They'll never take my body from your side
