Open At The Close

• C

Hello! This is my first tab.

I've used the version that's someone already has poster on this site, and added my 
personal touch to get it a bit more like the original from Oliver Boyd and the Rememberalls.
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.
I play without capo, but you can use capo on 1st fret or basically wherever fits your 
voice if you like. Enjoy!

Chords you will need:

C - 032010
Em - 022000
G - 320033
D - 000232
Dsus4 - 000233 or just add your pinkie on the high e-string at the third fret while 
holding D.
* D/Dsus4: You play the D-chord, but half way you can add your pinkie on the high 
e-string at the third fret if you sant to, for "the little extra".

** you play a fast G-chord before shifting to the C, to get some more melody, like in 
the original.

*** In the original song the bridge consists of both fingerpicking and strumming, but 
this is an alternative (and easier) bridge for the song.
Intro:
C  Em  D/Dsus4*  Em G**
C  Em  D/Dsus4*  Em G**

C                                      Em
I've figured out all the pieces and
   D/Dsus4*                            Em    G**
It now makes sense to me.
C                              Em
My future has been set in stone,
                D/Dsus4*
And this end must come.
             Em                    G**
For this must be done.
C                            Em
I cannot let them die in vain.
                     D/Dsus4*
They fought by my side
                Em                  G**
And fell with their pride.
C                                          Em
One a brother, lived with all his wit.
               D                                   Dsus4
Another taught me life, and how to deal with it.

C            G          D          Em
So I'll walk it alone and face this truth.
C       G                    D         Em
Mum, I'm coming home, home to you.
C    G                      D           Em
No goodbyes this time, and no kisses too.
C         G                             D
Ginny, please don't you cry.
D            Em
Know I'll always love you.

C  Em    D/Dsus4* Em

It now makes sense to me...
