I had a name but they took it from me
Gm
I was the man that I wanted to be
Cm
I had a place where I lay my head
Gm
They burnt it to the ground and the sky turned red
Gm
I had a life and a place in the world
Gm
I had a sweet talkin' wife and a beautiful girl
Cm
I know I'm never gonna see 'em again
Gm
Gonna tear the world up until I have my revenge
Dm Cm Gm
They took my life but it isn't the end. They put me in the ground but I'm back from
the dead

version 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
The most important effects to have if you're really looking to recreate the song are reverb, some tremolo, and
a bit of overdrive. He uses a Strymon Flint, and a Boss Blues Driver. Overdrive, or at least an increase in
volume, kicks in during the second verse and I've marked it accordingly. Additionally, since he's using a
Fender Jaguar, he tends to accentuate the chords in the intro/verses with the tremolo.
The entire song runs around a particular strumming pattern which hits low E and then strums down and allows
you to hear each note. It has a slight pause at high E, reverses, and goes back B G B. Easier heard than
shown, but Em chord would look like this. You hear this strumming pattern all over Lord Huron's work.

The first two chords in the intro are strummed normally, but after that I've seen Tom play the rest of the
intro/verses either strum with tremolo, or quietly following the above pattern and doing a mix of
normal-strum-followed-by-pattern. It's interchangeable, so pick whichever you like (or mix!). I tend to think
it sounds best as I've transcribed it below. Enjoy!
