Funeral For A Friend - This Letter Tabs

band: Funeral For A Friend

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
