Madness by Sleeping With Sirens
Madness
BEFORE EACH SECTION OF THE SONG THERE'S AN EXPLANATION ON HOW TO PLAY IT, ONCE
YOU'VE MASTERED IT, I'VE ADDED A VERSION WITHOUT THE EXPLANATIONS SO YOU CAN PLAY
IT WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP OR JUMP THROUGH SECTIONS.
I'm pretty sure the guys don't use a capo but this is simpler with one.
STANDARD TUNING
CAPO ON 1
1ST VERSE (PLUCKING)
M = 2x4xxx } My advice is to make power chords shapes, but only pluck
N = 3x5xxx } what I noted here. Make an F# shape (2443xx) for M, play what I
O = 5x7xxx } noted and slide from there to N, O, P etc. When you get to R,
P = 7x9xxx } your finger will be already on place.
Q = 6x8xxx }
R = xxx7xx }
S = 10.12xxxx or x5x7xx }
M N O P P Q O
All of my life I built this armor
M N O P Q R O
And every disguise I ever wore
M N O P P Q O
Ashes and dust I've made an island
M N O P Q R S
Facing the end, I said "What for?"
