Capo: Fret 3
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
This song relies a lot on bass notes. So here are some tips to follow:
there’s a walk down on the first string (bass E string, for standard tuning) from 3 to 2 to 0.
If you listen to the original song, you can get the rhythm from there.
For the ending, just start to fade out around (x3) of the Outro.
Also, I pretty much wrote this tab by ear because I didn’t like how the other tabs sounded,
so let me know if there’s a chord I should change.

[Verse 1]
I went with yo
u up to the pl
ace you grew u
p and
We spent a wee
k in the cold
Just long enou
gh to Walden i
t with you
Any longer, it
would've got
old
Singing "Ace o
f Spades" when
Lemmy died
But nothing's
changed, L.A.'
s alright
I'm sleeping i
n my bed again
, and getting
in my head
And then, walk
around the re
servoir
[Chorus]
You..., you mu
st've been loo
king for me
Sending smoke.

[Verse 2]
One of your ey
es is always h
alf-shut
Something happ
ened when you
were a kid
I didn't know
you then and I
'll never unde
rstand
Why it feels l
ike I did
"How Soon Is N
ow" in an 80s
sedan
You slept insi
de of it becau
se your dad
Lived in a cam
pground in the
back of a van
You said that
song'll creep
you out until
you're dead
[Chorus]
You..., you mu
st've been loo
king for me
Sending smoke.

[Verse 3]
I want to live
at the Holida
y Inn
Where somebody
else makes th
e bed
We'll watch TV
while the lig
hts on the str
eet
Put all the st
ars to death
It's been on m
y mind since B
owie died
Just checking
out to hide fr
om life
And all of our
problems, I'm
gonna solve '
em
With you ridin
g shotgun, spe
eding, 'cause
fuck the cops
[Chorus]
You..., you mu
st've been loo
king for me
Sending smoke.

[Verse 4]
I buried a hat

The future's u
nwritten; the
past is a corr

I'm at the exi

hall
You are anonym
ous, I am a co
