Paper Wings Acoustic by Rise Against ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paper Wings (Acoustic) Rise Against Siren Song of the Counter Culture ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of my all time favorite songs from one of my all time favorite bands. If you want to tune your guitar down for this, there is nothing wrong with that. Just know that you will be playing 2-and-a-half steps lower thtn those of us who have capos, And i'll tack that on there so you can play, too! This is meant to be played on an acoustic guitar and strummed with some sort of rythym. Okay, let us start! **Edit: 10-17-10; Fixed some timing problems and got rid of some extra chords* tuning: Standard (Capo on 3) OR Down one half step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) Chords:(relative to Capo) ~~~~E A D G B e Am: X 0 2 2 1 0 ~C: X 3 2 0 1 0 ~G: 3 2 0 0 0 3 ~F: 1 3 3 2 1 1 Chords: (tuned down: Eb) ~~~~E A D G B e Dm: X 0 0 2 3 1 ~F: 1 3 3 2 1 1 ~C: X 3 2 0 1 0 Bb: X 1 3 3 3 1 (Capo'd version) Intro: C G Am F x3 Verse 1: Am C G F One last thing I beg you please, just before you go Am C G F I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world until they Am C G F burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down Am C G F Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around G To catch you falling down F And I'm looking at you now Chorus: C Am F And I can't tell if you're laughing C Am F Between each smile there's a tear in your eye C Am F There's a train leaving town in an hour C Am F It's not waiting for you and neither am I Verse 2: Am C G F Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once Am C G F That was a conversation you took nothing from so raise your Am C G F glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done Am C G F Just put off another day of knowing where you're from G You can catch up with yourself F if you run C Am F And I can't tell if you're laughing C Am F Between each smile there's a tear in your eye C Am F There's a train leaving town in an hour C Am F It's not waiting for you and neither am I Break: simply strum C for a few measures, if you want to include it, or just go on Solo: C G Am F x2 C G C Am F F G Verse 3: C Is this the life that you lead?
