WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Smile Empty Soul - Silhouettes Ukulele | Ver. 1
I am sure this song is originally on an alternate tuning like Drop D-flat (I've
seen Smile Empty Soul live and I'm pretty sure of this), but my version sounds the
Intro F#m/E/B
F#m E B
Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down
F#m E B
They won't let me go the wrong way
F#m E B
My mother taught me all the fables, told me how
F#m E B
In the end all the sinners have to pay
But...
D E F#m C#
I don't wanna live like my mother
D E F#m C#
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
D E F#m C#
And i don't wanna live like my father
D E F#m C#
I don't wanna give up before i die
F#m E B
He worked so hard his bones are breaking
F#m E B
He wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
F#m E B
His good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
F#m E B
I don't ever want to end up like he did
And...
D E F#m C#
I don't wanna live like my mother
D E F#m C#
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
D E F#m C#
And i don't wanna live like my father
D E F#m C#
I don't wanna give up before i die
F#m E
When i have kids
B F#m E B
I won't put any chains on their wrists, i won't
F#m E B
I'll tell them this there's nothing in this world
F#m E B
That you can't be if you want it enough
And...
Hold your B chord you just played for dramatic fade out here, then hit the 4th
fret of the b string and bend that note for the sound just before the chorus hits again.
