Wish I Stayed Acoustic

Ellie Goulding

Text File

I kinda have 2 versions that have been cobbled together from other peoples tabs and videos so I really cannot take credit at all for any of these whatsoever, they're just everything I've seen put into some versions. The first one is pretty fool proof :) Fiddle around with a capo if you want to, it works well on 3 Verse/Intro |-------------------------------------------------| |--------1----1----1----1----1----1----1--1--1----| |--------2----2----2----2----2----2----2--2--0----| |-------------------------------------------------| |-----0----0----0----0----0----0----0-------------| |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| |--------1----1----1----1----1----1----1--1--1----| |--------0----0----0----0----0----0----0--0--0----| |-------------------------------------------------| |-----3----3----3----3----3----3----3-------------| |-------------------------------------------------| Basically play an Am and a C but just plucking those strings and then at the chorus play Am, C and G: C Am With that skipping rope, the trampoline G The crafty smoke that made us choke But we didn't give up hope C Am It's just the simple ways, of getting paid G The carelessnes of running away Mute the G here I wish I stayed I wish I stayed etc.. For the "I don't own my clothes but I own my mind etc.." bit, play the tabby bit above but all the strings shown together like: C [XXX01X] Am[XXX21X] And only pluck them once:) C C Am Am I don't own my clothes but i own my mind C C And it's not what you've lost Am Am But it's what you find. etc... The second version, I think, is a bit better sounding :) |------4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--4--0--| |------2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--2--2--| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----------| |---------------------------------------------------| |------0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--0--0--| |------2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--2--2--| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----------| |---------------------------------------------------| At the chorus play E and a retarded Am [X06650] so it goes like this: E With that skipping rope, the trampoline Am The crafty smoke that made us choke But we didn't give up hope E It's just the simple ways, of getting paid Am The carelessnes of running away Mute the Am here I wish I stayed I wish I stayed etc.. Similarly to the first version play the strings that are pressed down in the chords: E [X221XX] Am [XX665X] E E Am Am I don't own my clothes but i own my mind E E And it's not what you've lost Am Am But it's what you find. Etc. I know this all may be a bit confusing, so I really do apologise!! Hopefully it is helpful though:) I have a few other sh!ttier versions so facebook message me for those if you want them or indeed need help in understanding this :/ http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile=1&id=623627473#!/polly.bowden
