The Name of the Game Daniel Kemish
This is a really great tune off his EP, I hope I have got this right but it sounds
right to me, saw him play it live once and he played it with a capo on the 2nd,
have a listen to the original for the strumming rhythm.
Capo 2 Key of D
[C] [Em] [F] [G]
Verse:
[C]I been bumming around, been wasting my time,
[Em]sometimes my life it goes out of line,
[F]the only thing thatā??s got me now i[G]s time.
Cause Iā??ve been playing some songs to a room full of drones,
not a single one caring and Iā??m hearing the moans
and its just the same old s**t! How much they owe one their loans
but they'll spark up a fag, and drink down 6 pints
and they'll get real loud and they'll try pick a fight
and its pistols till dawn or until it gets light
Chorus:
[Am]so im trying to get out, and ill search for that fame
[F]but i wont sell out, just give me my name
[C]ill write my own songs that come from my brain
[G]and to sing them out loud its the name of my game
Verse:
my life rolls on from night to night
not caring about sleeping or if i might
the only thing i know, is how not to fight
ive been on the road for 6 years now,
playing in the bars where they're playing cards.
and where the football shows on every screen like the stars
sometimes its hot and sometimes its not
sometimes its wet, and im soaked to the bone,
and sometimes i long to be tucked up warm, at home
Chorus
Verse:
but the tv's killed the way we think,
the talent shows with their cover shit
every sheep sings the same damn fucking songs,
the way we laugh, the way we sing,
the way no one gets up to do their own thing
just turn up today and you'll be a star in the spring
cause ill play my own songs and ill right my own lines
and ill live my mistakes and ill ride on the highs
and ill remember the lows, but i wont go there any time .... soon
and then chorus to finnish
Enjoy.
any comments would be greatly appreciative, this is the first tab I have ever done
so any correction also welcome.
