Puritan

• B11

                             Puritan by Widowspeak

Opening track from the band's 2011 self titled debut. Couldn't make out all the lyrics, 
but I tried to write down what I could. I didn't bother tabbing some of the lead solo 
stuff in the middle of the song, but these chords are correct.

Tuning: Standard

NOTE: E is the only chord in the song that is played open; the rest are all barre 
chords, as indicated.

Intro:





   Four hour drive
   Strange world outside
   Shattered to see
   The sun go down



   B11        A




   B11        A
   Don't know ourselves

   B11     A
   In this hollow town



Then play this:

E (open) followed by A—

E E E E E E E / AA 

If you have two guitarists you can continue play this progression over the top of 
the following verses (which just alternate between an E and A).


    E
    So charmed, the rich in power

    A
    Puritans had all the power

    E
    Show them how their eyes were blue

    A
    Tell me I'll stay with you


    B11    A
    Always waiting

    B11        A
    And you're fading, fading out



    E
    So I looked my Sunday best

    A
    Still inside a devil's dress

    E
    Tall, dark ... (?)

    A
    Like the time they stood (?)



    B11   A
    I was looking

    B11      A
    Puritans watching

    B11      A
    I, I was watching, watching out


Resume E / A progression and end the song on the E chord.
