band: Funeral For A Friend
song: This Letter
tabbed by: funeralforafrie with alot of help from LessThanLuke
Another fantastic heart-felt acoustic song from the band, not hard to play
Gotta say a big thanks to LessThanLuke who in fact sorta really gave me some of the notes
I required..As before seeing his tab, I was playing it up at the 9th fret, so really, he
should get most of the credit for this. His fingerpicking version is included so if your
voting that bit as better,, please go rate his version, not mine. Thank you. (Please note
on his version, which he has submitted, it does say hammer on both times, ive only
altered this too make it more readable)
Intro and verse played throughout with a picking bit in between where it starts "Does it
seem, to matter" then back to this until the heavy strumming bit at the end which I will
add very very soon
LessThanLuke's original with corrections.

Now im thinking that Lukes may be played over the top of my version
You will hear when two guitars start playing, me and my friend just tried it
and it sound totally elite...so? whatever leave comments.
My Octave version (play slowly)

The lyrics too this beautiful song are;
As you swallow this confession
And leave me with a scar
As it takes another second
To let me go too far
Doesn't seem to matter any more
Your one last travel
Is taking me home
I could write another letter
And never write one word
As it takes another second
To let me go too far
Doesn't seem to matter any more
Your one last travel
Is taking me home
And if you want me to hold you
I wont
Your one last travel
Is taking you home
As you swallow your confession
And leave this as it is
As it takes another second
I wish I was dead
The letters you wrote me
The letters you wrote me
The letters you wrote me
I wish I was dead
I wish I was dead
