Vital Signs by Frank Turner Vital signs - Frank Tuner Tabbed by Sean O'Reilly This may not be 100% but seeing as there's no other tab available for this song, it'll have to do. It'll give you a rough guide to it anyway. Standard Tuning EADGBe The main riff is based around a B5 chord I think e |--------------------| B |--------------------| G |--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| D |--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-| A |--2-2-0-2-2-2-2-0-2-| E |--------------------| The high e and b strings are left open for the F#, G#m and A, this is done by playing route of the chord with your thumb.

Verse 3: B5 Well I'll never get to grey hair And I'll never be in the black, E F# B5(Main Riff) But I can tell stories that most can hardly dream.

Bridge: F# And when I'm gone, A The world revolves, and life goes on, So mark no grave, A G#m F# A Forget my name. A G#m F#(Let Ring) If the song remains And everybody's got a drink and a smile, F# Well, that's just fine by me yeah. Chorus: A E Heaven's in the half-light, and that's where I reside, G#m I got a whiskey and a wry smile F# I check my vital signs. A E I'll be dead but never dying, and I say that with a smile G#m B5(Back to main riff) It's just my way of trying to be aliive. Outro: B5(Main Riff) www.TAB6.com
