What If We Could Blue October
This is a modification of a Tab already for this song, but I saw a few
discrepancies and decided to add in a bit to make it more suitable
for a solo acoustic setting.
Key: A minor
Time: 4/4
Note for playing: The song sounds good either simply strumming the chords
with the same timing and emphasis as in the Foiled album version OR
fingerpicked playing the vocal melody within the chords. I choose the later
but this is totally up to you. Just make sure your voice can handle it if you
choose to sing.
Chords:
[Am] [C] [E] [Dm] [G]
e|--0--(0)--0---1---3---------| B|--1---1---0---3---0---------| G|--2---0---1---2---0---------| D|--2---2---2---0---0---------| A|--0---3---2--(0)--2---------| E|----------0-------3---------|
During the Chorus, you may want to use these barre forms:
[Am] [Dm]
e|-(5)----5-----| B|--5-----6-----| G|--5-----7-----| D|--7-----7-----| A|--7-----5-----| E|--5----(5)----|
Intro : Let the notes ring a bit, play more towards the fretboard to get a
nicer tone.
e|------------------------------------------------------| B|--5h6p5--5h6p5----5h6p5--5h6p5-----5--5h6p5--5h6---5--| G|---------------7---------------7-5--------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|-(0)-------------(0)-----------------(0)----------(0)-| E|------------------------------------------------------|
Verse 1:
[Am]What if we could put our lives on
[C]Hold and meet somewhere inside of the world
[E]I would meet you, would you meet me?[Am]
[Am]On a park bench, on a skyscrape
[C]On a mountain, oh yeah, whatever it takes
[E]I would meet you, would you meet me[Am]?

Verse 2:
[Am]What if we could, where would we go?
[C]And if it felt right, would you want me to know?

Chorus:
[Am]I'm glad to say that we [Dm]met

Just look in my e[Dm]yes, my e[C]yes, my e[G]yes
Verse 3:
[Am]What if we could put our lives on
[C]Hold and meet somewhere inside of the world
[E]I would meet you, would you meet me?[Am]

Am C E Am*
I would meet you, I would meet you
*End on this chord, let it ring out.
Vocal Melody: This changes but just so you have it in case you want to
fingerpick the entire thing. I won't tab that out because it's important you
figure that out yourself.
