My List
by The Killers (from the Album "Sam's Town", 2007)
Standard tuning
Update: 31/05/2007 - Virtually reworked. Well, I worked out all the chords
basically. And presented it better, and improved my notations, and added lyrics..
This is my first attempt at tabbing an entire song. Don't be too harsh in your
criticism but leave constructive comments all the same :).
Enjoy.

INTRO[0:04]
_____________________________________________________________________________
The synth keyboard comes in with this over the drumbeat, fading in and out.
If you want, it's a C chord (DAE strings).
e|-------|
B|-------|
G|-------|
D|-------|
A|---3---|
E|-------|
Then, the other synth comes in, sliding all the way. It sounds like a whine
guitar but synthesized :D.

Then a nice sounding piano comes in.
Continue playing the same chords - it sounds like another keyboard backs the
chords up too.

LYRICS
_____________________________________________________________________________
Verse:
Let me wrap myself around you
Let you show me how I see
And when you come back in from nowhere
Do you ever think of me?
Your heart is not able
Let me show you how much I care
Verse:
I need those eyes to tide me over
I’ll take your picture when I go
It gives me strength and gives me patience
But I’ll never let you know
I got nothing on you baby
But I always said I try
Let me show you how much I care
Chorus:
'Cos sometimes it gets hard
And don’t she know
Don’t give the ghost up just clench your fist
You should have known by now you were on my list
Don’t give the ghost up just clench your fist
You should have known by now you were on my list
Don’t give the ghost up just clench your fist
You should have known by now you were on my list
When your heart is not able
And your prayers they’re not fables
Let me show you (Let me show you)
Let me show you (Let me show you)
Let me show you how much I care
