Young Lions Chords

(ver. 1)
The Maccabees


My first real tab, feedback would be welcome :D

This is how i play this song using just chords, not lead parts.
However, from this, with a bit of knowledge of scales etc
you can figure out the lead parts.
I might repost later with the lead parts added. 

In the quieter parts
D*| x x 0 14 15 14
Bm*| x x 0 16 15 14


The louder more upbeat parts
D| x 5 7 7 7 5
Bm| x 2 4 4 3 2
F#m| 2 4 4 2 2 2
A| 5 7 7 6 5 5

Higher F#m
| x 9 11 11 10 9

D*
Roses in the car
D*
Roses in the car
Bm*
Bony saddle, bony street
Bm*
Corrugated iron sheet
D*
This bed is not concrete
D*
This bed in which you sleep
Bm*
Flesh is flesh til blood runs cold
Bm*
And blood is blood, so I am told

D*, D*, Bm*, Bm*
D*, D*, Bm*, Bm*


D*
Your carbon makes a star
D*
Your carbon makes a star
Bm*
And after all, that's all we are
Bm*
After all, that's all we are

Still play the "Quieter" chords, but more vigorously
D*
That's all we are
D*
That's all we are
Bm*
That's all we are
Bm*
That's all we are
D*
That's all we are
D*
That's all we are
Bm*
That's all we are
Bm*
That's all we are

Now you switch to the ordinary chords for a bit, playing the "Higher" F#m, and 
sliding up to it from the Bm.

|D                  |Bm               F#m|
All these young men, these young lions
|D                  |Bm               F#m|
All these young men, these young lions


D*
You don't know if it's true
D*
Or if to believe in you
Bm*
There are tunnels through the stone
Bm*
Where weaker hearts have made a home


D*
Their roses in a car
D*
Their roses in a car
Bm*
And after all that's all we are
Bm*
After all that's all we are


The ordinary F#m is played here instead of the higher one.

F#m
And isn't it bizarre
Bm
The adults that we are
A
Still playing
A
Follow the leader


D
Body don't break
D
Body don't break
D
Body don't break
D
Til broken

F#m
Body gonna make
F#m
Body gonna make
F#m
Body gonna make
F#m
Another body

Bm
Wooooo-oooo-ooooaahh, woooah oh
Bm
Don't want to be the last to leave.
