For Guitarists

Tell the Truth

Tabs by Miguel A. Dominguez

Miguel says:
The transition from D to D6/9 may not be neccesary but I think it sounds better. You can either play it or not.

D----D6/9---------------
Love love love

--------------A4----------A
What does it mean to you?

-------G-------------G6----G--
Is it what you're dreaming of

-------------D-----------
Or something that you do?

D-----------D6/9-------D----------------A4--------------A
Does the loyalty that lies inside your heart reach out

----------G---------G6----G--
While the world is asking why?


--------------------------A-----------------------Bm-------G---
It's a thread unravelled, strung down through the centuries

G------------------------A-----------------Bm--
Through cannon smoke and confetti it testifies

G-------------------A--------------Bm--------
No mother tongue to tie it to just one belief

G---------------------A---G
Just a steady voice inside

G-----------------------A----------------Bm--
But a word that's given free with true intention

G---------------------A-------------Bm--
And nourished in the feelings of a friend

G----------------------------A-----------------Bm-----
Can be stirred and turned by reason and cruel invention

G-------------------A------------------D-----G---A---D
Into a lie that his whole heart would defend

D--------D6/9-------D--------------A4--------------A
All the world's a stage and we're playing out

---G----G6----------G-------------D-------------
A story that we've made from our faith and doubt

D---------------------------------------A4--------------A
The scenery is the dark streets that we need to roam

--------G---G6------G--
'til we all find a home

G----------------------------A--------------Bm-----
It's a picture pressed to a breast on a battlefield

G------------A-----------Bm-----
Mired in the mud and the mist

G-----------------------A-----------------Bm-----
It's the promise of the way the world is meant to feel

G------------------A-----
Once a girl's been kissed

G----------------------A-----------------Bm-----
But a heart can hold a word torn free in hatred

G---------------------A-----------------Bm-----
Made to wound for the sake of the upper hand

G----------------------A---------------Bm-----
And start to mould and nurture it and shape it

G------------------------------A-----------------D-----
'Til it tells a truth that the whole world understands

G-----------------------A---------------D-------G
Tell the truth and the whole world understands


G-----------------------A---------------D (LET IT RING)
Tell the truth and the whole world understands
