Reverend
Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
D D Em Bm
[Verse 1]
D Em Bm
On the limb cut down in the middle of the night caught in a trap
D Em Bm
Cursed by the crown of the wandering man who was never coming back
D Em A D A/C#
Stuck on the line spinning all of his time with his back to the throne
Bm Em A
But with the flash of the round everybody in town said leave me alone
[Chorus]
D Em Bm A
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
G Em
Your heart will never say so
Bm A/C#
Your heart will never let you go
D Em Bm A
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
G Em
My heart will never say so
Bm A/C#
My heart will never let you go
[Verse 2]
D Em Bm
I got caught in the middle of a hurricane fight facing the ground
D Em Bm
Beast to the wild with the porcelain smile as it passes around
D Em A D A/C#
The truth in the skies from the billowing eyes isn't working on me
Bm
Don't you think you gotta give me
Em
Give me something I want
A
Give me something I need
[Chorus]
D Em Bm A
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
G Em
Your heart will never say so
Bm A/C#
Your heart will never let you go

Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio

My heart will never say so

My heart will never let you go

[Solo]
The solo is the one section I'm not decently confident on. It's pretty drowned out by all the other guitar
parts, and uses a pretty heavy distortion that's hard to pick apart.

[Solo]
Hearing this clearer version of the solo actually helped me correct the studio version, but this live version
isn't 100% the same. So I've kept my approximation of the studio version tab, as well as offer this tab for
the live version here.

On the limb cut down in the middle of the night caught in a trap
Cursed by the crown of the wandering man who was never coming back
Stuck on the line spinning all of his time with his back to the throne
With the flash of the round everybody in town said leave me alone
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let you go
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go
I got caught in the middle of a hurricane fight facing the ground
Beast to the wild with the porcelain smile as it passes around
The truth in the skies from the billowing eyes isn't working on me
Don't you think you gotta give me
Give me something I want
Give me something I need
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let you go
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let you go
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go
Just like a reverend, like a reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go
