E.M.P.T.Y. The Clientele
Album: Strange Geometry
Song: E.M.P.T.Y.
Tabbed by: Jimbob - jimbobriley@gmail.com
As with the other Clientele tabs, you need to add a few
embellishments due to the picking. On the normal E chord during
the chorus Alistair seems to use his little finger on the high
E string to pick out the 4th and 2nd frets.
The E* means play with the 7th fret barre version of the chord.
Also use your little finger here in the chorus to pick out some
of those high notes further up the neck. The B(sus4) chord
means alternate between B and Bsus4 (fairly obvious in the
track).
| B | E | A | E | x2
[B]When I'm [E]riding [A]home at [E]night now
[B]I get [E]in so [A]tired[E]
[B]To the [E]saws and [A]bows that [E]spell out
[B]E-M-[E]P-T-[A]Y[E]
----------
B E* F#
But driving west now
E* B
Half-past five
E* F#
My skin is cut
E* B
My hands are knives
E* F# E* B
I could be anyone alive
But [E]I just [A]can't [E]fit
And [B]it's too [E]late to [A]quit[E]
----------
Chorus:
E* B(sus4)
When the night air comes to me
I wonder if the [E]days I've lived through count
E* B(sus4)
With the world strung like a rosary
Through faces moving [E]in the crowd
----------
[A]What is the [E]color and the [B(sus4)]number
When happiness [E]begins?
[A]When the [E]knight waits in the [B(sus4)]laurels
F#(low) E
Hesitating...
----------
| C# |
I found a [B]clarity I've never known
In [E]fag-end weeks before I left for [A]school[E]
The [C#]darkness in the pylons
And the [B]smoke and creosote
[E]Cancelling the [A]faces that we [E]knew
| B | E | A | E | x2
Solo:
| E | (freak out on the E chord)
----------
B E* F# E* B
Did they forget the light inside your eyes?
E* F# E* B
Those simple words, those lovers' signs?
E* F# E* B
The hand is dealt, the cards are played
But [E]I just c[A]an't fit[E]
And [B]it's too [E]late to [A]quit[E]
----------
Chorus:
E* B(sus4)
I saw them, and I knew them all
Inside a sheet of [E]flame
E* B(sus4)
I saw them, and I knew them all
Inside a sheet of [E]flame
----------
[B]When I'm [E]riding [A]home at [E]night now
[B]I get [E]in so [A]tired[E]
[B]To the [E]saws and [A]bows that [E]spell out
[B]E-M-[E]P-T-[A]Y[E]
E-M-P-T-Y
E-M-P-T-Y
