Trevors music tablature or chords

[tuckforce1]

Hello everyone

I play guitar in a band that does cover songs simply for friends family and for fun, but I always love learning Trevors songs. I thought it would be nice to have a spot where we can post some known tablature or chords for his songs. The internet has many of his songs available and for those looking to learn how to play guitar or sing these site would come in handy.

Here is the main one that I am aware of http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/trevor_hall_tabs.htm

It would be really great to see if anyone has figured out how to play any new songs off of the E3 album as well .

I've found some help on youtube as well that always comes in handy by a guy named Mike http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5U6rfitlOk Check out his page because he plays others as well.

Thanks all folks, make it a great day and be good to yourselves

Note: When I'm looking at these posts here on my iPhone from Safari it cuts off the ends of the right side of the page, so sometimes you can't see all the chords, and also messes up the arrangement of some tabs.. just a warning if you're looking on an iPhone or iPod Touch and maybe other handhelds:)

[Natalie]

The Love Wouldn't Die

Aadd9 (bar chord A, but don't bar the high E or B - let them ring out)
C#m (bar chord, but don't bar the high E - let it ring out)

You can also trade these notes out for A and C#m as full bar chords, I might of seen Trevor play them live just as A and normal C#m.

Here's a simple tab for the base line. I play it at the beginning before the chords.

E|-------------------------------------------
B|-------------------------------------------
G|-------------------------------------------
D|-------------------------------------------
A|----------------------------------7-7-7-7
E|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-9-9-9-9-9-9---------

Verse

Aadd9
I tried to run, one left in my gun,
________C#m________________________________Aadd9___C#m
They blocked out the sun but the love wouldn't die

(Repeat for verse)

Chorus

Aadd9_______________________C#m
Wooooaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh..... the love wouldn't die

Aadd9_______________________C#m
Wooooaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh..... the love wouldn't die

Aadd9_______________________C#m_________________________B
Wooooaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh..... oh the love wouldn't die

The love wouldn't die....

Back into Verse with Aadd9

[Natalie]

Different Hunger


Chorus

___________C______________G
Oh this is a different hunger
C_________________ Em
Heavier than thunder
C__________________G
Satisfied by love
_____________D
That's what I say

Verse (Get your skankin' on!!)

G
Searching for pleasure but we only find pain
____Em
Not living in our hearts only living in our brain
G
Chasing yeah we're chasing after name and fame
____Em
But none of that will follow us down to our graves
______D_____________C____________G
If it ain't in here, it won't be there, I say....

Repeat Chorus
Chorus variation - on the "Heavier than thunder" line, I play a C, then instead of going straight to the Em, I play one beat of a G, then one beat D, then Em.

C____________________G D Em
Heavier than thunder

Trevor does it with his voice, so this is the guitar version of it



C____Em__C____Em__C_____Em___D
Oooooooh Ooooooooh Oooooooooh



The Extra Cool Part At The End

____Em________________________Bm
Oh my mind, be humbler than a blade of grass
____Em ________________________Bm
Be patient and forbearing like the tree


Repeat the Em and Bm

[Natalie]

Te Amo


Capo 4th Fret

(So, play this shape with Capo on 4)

Don't bar the high E on the F chord if you want.


Intro
C

Verse

C

________F_______C

And then straight into C to start off the next verse.

Then back into the Chorus

Awesome, Thanks Natalie!

[Natalie]

Dr Seuss

Trevor plays the verses in bar chords (eg. Em on 7th fret), and chorus as open chords.
Hit the Bb (don't play the D string in this chord) as you move down to the A7.


Baseline for beginning of song - play before chords.
(h) = hammer on
The hammer on on the A string is very fast

Code: Select all

E|-----------------------------------------------
B|-----------------------------------------------
G|-----------------------------------------------
D|-----------------------------------------------
A|---------5(h)7---------5(h)7---------7--5------
E|--5(h)7---------5(h)7---------5(h)7--------7--5


Verse

Em
What can we come to heart about? Some eat it up some spit it out
B7
Some like to speed and some go slow, hip hop beats on rock and roll
Em
Does your life stand still or flow? Better bring the real and stop your show
B7
Come as you is come as you are, live in the heart don't venture far
Bb__A7____________________B7_______________________Em
___All of this I'd like to say it doesn't matter anyway ah yeah...... yeah!

.....repeat for next verses......


Chorus

_________________E
Everybody sing... yeah yeah yeah yeah
Am
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

E
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Am
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

E

Jump up, jump up let the rhythm take it, it's ok to not know how they make it

Jump up, jump up, let the rhythm take it, dance around, don't even try to fake it

[Natalie]

Fire

Still working on this one, I'll make fixes soon

Verse

A. For the whole thing and both verses. (I play barred on 5th fret, E shape)

A
Well she's a crazy woman, I tell you hair pulling...

Chorus

F (4 counts), G (4 counts), A (8 counts)

F____________________G_______________________________A
That girl is fire, fire, fire, fire... everything she touches burns


Cherine Anderson's Part (hmmm... bit lyrically unsure)

Play the chorus, then play an E before Cherine starts

G_________________________E
.....everything she touches burns.....Oh it burns...

Am
A woman is a powerful thing

C
Create every nation with every life we bring

Dm
Oh baby that's why you love me, desire

E
Blow your mind over magic just can't be defined


.....repeat same for next half....


Am
The ?????? queen.... Cherine.... standing ????? day...


Chorus

[Natalie]

Play the Am twice just before this next part.

How can I not speak of God when all I see is this mirage

I pray to the angel of fire

To burn this mess until it dies
F
At the top of the hill, at the feet of the tree
___C
I found the truth in an apple seed
G
Who would've known, that when it had grown
______Am
I could see all the stars and all the cosmos
F
Some say I'm sick and some call me mad
C
They say I've lost all that I've had
G
True I am mad for the light, for the spark
___Am___________________________________C
That resides in the deepest depths of my heart

Here are some chords that sound rightish for this ^ version. See below for a different version.



Asus2/F#



E_____________________Asus2
Sometimes I don't feel at home

E_______________Asus2/F#
Like exodus in my own soul
_____E_______________Asus2_________E____________Asus2/F#
And I want to return...... yeah...... I want to return

Coming in again, time to break bread
Got a couple heavy things weighing down on my head
Feeling like a child being lost in the crowd
Just can't understand how things are going down
Kind of confused in the way that we're living
We are always taking we forgot about giving
Missing, how we used to talk about soul
Clouds coming in we better get back home,
Don't want to complicate just want to shake hands
Taste fruit and return to the promise lands
Where we once laughed, kept the hearts clean
No more enemies, we were on the same team.





How Trev is playing it lately:

D


D/F#


Kind of G with high E ringing


Em7

Soul Adventurer


For the rest of the song, when Trev plays an Am, he also incorporates an Asus4 into it sometimes. Now do some beat-boxing yo..


Am, Asus4, Am, Asus4




So, for this part, play the Am, then add in an Asus4

Am
Well I'll be here tomorrow, to wipe out all your sorrow, I look to him to follow always baby that's my motto,
G
I'll swallow up this sound, and spin the nectar round, this love was never lost I'm telling you it was always found
Am
The constellations whisper, my brother and my sister, I should of never kissed her, now my love I'll always miss her
G
She is my golden God, wipe away this facade, lighting up the three cities, lighting up my eyes and I,
Am
This song is never done, I'm telling you all it's just began, I'm finally on the road to one, illumine with a thousands suns,
G
I'll never leave this holy town, lift me Mama from the ground, come through me with your graceful sound, tell the man I'm freedom bound,
Am
I could go on for hours, of how your nectar showers, all glory and all power now I'm screaming to you louder,
G
Mama you're my only hope, my only boat, to carry me, across the sea, steadily...


Am (Asus4 in here too)
Have you seen the lion, toss his mane, toss his mane.....

Have you seen the lion toss his mane... (toss his mane, toss his mane...)
Have you seen the lion toss his mane... (toss his mane, toss his mane...)


Toss his mane..... (toss his mane, toss his mane...)

______Asus4__________Am
I have seen the lion
_______Asus4_________Am
I have seen the lion

Am
They won't be same,
It won't be the same,
_________________________Am
It won't be the same..... anymore


Any, any, any, anymore...

Rest of song: Am and incorporate Asus4, maybe even throw in an Asus2 somewhere. If in doubt... just Am

Check it,
Well I, March into Zion with a heart of a lion,
I'm a different kind of solider brushing dust of both my shoulders,
I shall disappear in endless time, mine is yours and yours is mine,
All aboard strike the chord of the sunshine, I'm
Beginning to find the beauty in the scripture, beginning to find the formula, beginning to find the mixture
I shall whisper to the misters and to every single sister,
Of how the king of kings sings, and how he lifts ya.

Om sri ram, jai ram jai jai ram ..... sita ram, sita ram

I give thanks and praise till my heart is ablaze, with the fire from this holiness,

This love it shall not fade.
This love it shall not fade.
This love it shall not fade.



Matisyahu's Part (these lyrics are from his song Heights, but they differ slightly to what I have here and I can't decipher them)

Said I been ripping through these lyrics, I been whipping through these words
Explain like physics leaving your vision blurred
All them righteous men there is no need to worry
Crush the wicked in my way with these fists of fury
I’m sorting rhymes all day
Everyday that’s what I say
I come with consciousness as my sword I slay
All of them crazy murderers are bound to be prey
Knock, knock, socking evil man in a delay
I’m dropping bombs on your moms yes unto your dismay
Open up a single way each and every day
I sit back relax and listen to the music play
With headphones on my ears yes I bob the head sway
and i be rhyming through your house, yes i be rhyming through your room
explain like physics leavin your conscious doomed
kaboom in the morning and the afternoon
said the moonlight, sunlights in my way --------



No time to think, only time to feel what is real place your palms up to the sun so you can feel
The heat of the summer, the coolness of the winter... spring, autumn and fall I shall remove all your splinters,
They say in this game to keep your finger upon the trigger,
Well this is a different song, and we are different singers,
I ain't a loser, then again I ain't a winner... I'm just a neutral man, trying keep my head above this quick sand that we're all drowning in,
Trying keep the oceans in the palms of our hands, well it's nice to have you back now, nice to see you singing loud...
I drop the beat and then defeat all of the demons now..

Rago puti ragova, ram ja ram (Sorry... Phonetic spelling... )

Yes, sir, that is my anthem, yes sir, that is my song, and that is what I meditate upon all day long,
For whoever brought as here, shall have to take us home,

Whoever brought as here, shall have to take us home,
Whoever brought as here, shall have to take us home,
Yo, Matisyahu's on the microphone,
Whoever brought as here, shall have to take us home


Am , Asus4

End on Am
