The Fountainhead by The Bluetones Tabbed by Frederic Maquet ([email protected])

This is another great song of the "Expecting to Fly" album. If you like It, email me and tell me about it with corrections/comments... I hope the intro is accurate enough, but it sounds good! The whole song Is played with two guitars, but you can survive with just one! The Rythm is A bit hard though, so you'll have to listen to the song to get it right.

Intro/Verse:

Em7E E Esus4 E Am- Am G A

(slow) Esus bit again Am- Am D5 A

Verse 1: (play with 1st intro riff) Em7 E Esus E Am- Am God knows I've tried, to bridge the gap, I've tried to be me, Em7 E Esus E Am- Am And time after time I've lied, just to say the things, You wanted to hear, Em7 E Esus E Am Am7 Am (Am7 is Look, look what I've done, look what I do, I'm starting to pull myself through, Esus E Am- Am G A D Hell could feasibly freeze, but in your eyes, I'll always be...

Chorus

The Fountainhead, the boy whose thoughts keep running away And you know I'm riiight.

Verse 2: (same chord progression as verse 1) Em7 E Esus E Am- Am G A E Wasn't it you who said, I went looking, to open the eyes of my head

And now I can see, from your mistakes, you're as blind as me

God knows I try, God know I've tried, to be something more than I am Hell could feasibly freeze, but in your eyes I'll always be...

Chorus

Same as Chorus 1

Break: Plays basic riff, with lots of bass.

Verse 3: (The whole thing is played with the 1st intro riff) Em7 E Esus E What can I say without being profound, It's a game that we play, goes round and round Em7 E Esus E I shall stick to the rules and I won't stop a fool And I won't be defied and I won't lose my cool, Em7 E Esus E Can't you see what I've done can't you see what I do? It's not really unique but it's hopelessly cruel, Em7 E Esus E These are my decisions these are my mistakes And I'll fall down again if that what it takes...

Bridge

Play riff: Em7 E Esus E G A

Cool bit: (slow single strums)

Fast:

/ / / / ///// ( / = single strum)

Et Voila!
