Your Ex-Lover Is Dead by Stars
Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
What you need to know how to use:
C ; F ; Am ; G ; Bm7 ; E (Optional to do E barred up 1 octave (starting at 12th fret as
to open))
-----------------
[Intro]
Am - Bm7
C - D - E (can be 12th or open, 12th is correct but it sounds okay down lower) - Am
Am - F - C
x2
Verses:
(Listen to song for beat)
(C C F G)
God, that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said, "Yes, I think we've met before."
In that instant it started to pour
(F F Am G)
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name
They pick the notes out on this bit, but if you're going for just chords, just play a C
this and the next verse (That's the only chord they play)
Verse:
(C C F G)
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
You tried to reach deep, but you couldn't get in
And now you're outside me- you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
(F F Am G)
It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road from real love
Am - Bm7
C - D - E - Am
Am - F - C (plays once before sings then plays to each round)
Live through this- and you won't look back.
Live through this- and you won't look back.
Live through this- and you won't look back.
(C C F G)
There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you, I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save, I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
(F F Am G) A few times
Ends on
Am - Bm7
C - D - E - Am
Am - F - C

VERSE

God that was strange to see you again

Introduced by a friend of a friend
C F G
Smiled and said "yes I think we've met before"
C F G
In that instant it started to pour
F Am G (use A regular open G)
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
F Am G
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
F Am G
And all of that time you thought I was sad
F Am G
I was trying to remember your name
(Interlude - I just strum an open C here. Fiddle with the scale if you must.)
Verses 2 and 3 are the same chords as verse 1.
The "Live through this" part is just the intro chords.
----------------
version 3
Tuning: Standard
Notes:
1) "God that was..." begins here --> * for verse 1, as does "This scar..." for verse 2.
"strange..." in verse 1 falls on the C chord, as does "fleck..." for verse 2.
2) Listen for the strumming, it's consistent for most of the song, but it does change.
3) Kelly i'm not sorry I met you. I'm not sorry it's over.

version 4
Tuning: standard (EADGBe)
K, so nobody's actually done this right... the little cello/violin diddy there, it's
and its so easy to play... so I'll tab it out. I'll try to get the intro too, but i'll
with that little interlude that everyone's got tabbed as "Just strum a C"

Real easy isnt it?
The cello thing is really an octave down, it sounds really good though.
So here's my kick at the can of the intro. it's a few of the parts all mixed into one.
sounds right to me.

Hey, it sounds good enough to me and I tried, so bugger off :P
that ** is cause nobody really knows what to name that chord. its a Bm base with an Am
so i threw in the sus4 on the Am to make it Am(2) with the d (0/3) and /B to give it the
note (2)
lol
hope this works. for chords, check out version two.... he has it basically right... the
is a little sketchy... and the interlude is not there (my favourite part of the whole
theres a part where Amy just strums a C chord that looks like
E\3
b\5
g\5
d\5
a\3
e\x
that over top of the interlude...
