La Song Tab

                             La Song - Lewis Watson
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: SamuelW
 
Tuning: Standard, Capo first fret
 
In his live "Bathtub" edition, Lewis has tuned down one semitone to D#. Using the capo on 1st, its in F,
as on the album.
 
The fret positions and chords are relative to the nut (no capo). Just transpose up
1 to give the names of the album version chords. Play the song with capo on 1 for album version.
Apologies for not knowing all the names! The B5* is actually
a variation of C#m, but I've labelled it so to avoid confusion with the other C#m shape.
There's really only 7 shapes and 2 progressions to learn. Enjoy!

  "You're everything that I prayed for..."
 
The Bridge is actually the same chords as the chorus, just palm muted, without allowing any of the high
notes to ring out.
 
 
E5                B5
  I've been washed away
                     A5             E5 E5*
with everything i've ever known
E5                  B5
i loved you to your veins
                A5       E5  G#5
so how come i'm alone?
 
 
A5                       C#m5
you're everything that i hoped for
                        B5          B5 B5*

A5                         C#m5
you're everything that i prayed for
              B5                   B5
but you were stole
 
 
E5                    B5
  the deamons in your brain
                        A5    E5 E5*
they helped you build a wall
E5                   B5
while i watched you suffocate
                    A5      E5 G#5
i've never felt so torn
 
A5                        C#m5
you're everything that i hoped for
                        B5     B5 B5*
thats why i gave you my all
A5                        C#m5
you're everything that i prayed for
             B5               B5
but you were stole
 
 (Palm Mute)       A5
why did everything change?
 
everything was ours
               C#m5
everything was stolen
 
now everything is gone
               B5
everything is gone
 
everything is gone
 
everything is gone
              B5*
everything is gone
 
                   A5
why did everything change?
 
everything was ours
               C#m5
everything was stolen
 
now everything is gone
              B5
everything is gone
 
everything is gone
 
everything is gone
              B5*
everything is gone
 
A5                        C#m5
you're everything that i hoped for
                        B5      B5 B5*
thats why i gave you my all
A5                        C#m5
