War in My Blood � Jon Foreman (and Sean Watkins)

CAPO 2

This is my first tab I�ve ever done, seems like about time that I actually contributed
=) . I tabbed this by what it looks like and sounds like Jon is playing. I�m pretty sure
is really close to what Jon plays.  He uses CAPO 2.  As you have probably already 
the numbers for frets are in relation to the capo.

I�m calling the intro the MAIN PART because it�s used so frequently in the song,
you see (MAIN PART) that means this is being played. You�re probably going to have to 
to
song to get the rhythm of it.

e|--------------------------------------------|
B|----1---------1--------------1--------------|
G|-----------2------(0)--0(h2)---2p0----------|
D|-------0h3--------------(h3)----------------|
A|--3---------------(3)-----------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|

If you can get this part, you can play like half the song.


The verse uses these chords but Jon fingerpicks them.

   I have a girl she tastes like rain on my tongue
e|-(0)----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--1-----------------3-----------5--3--------------------------------|
G|--2-----------------4-----------4--4-------(MAIN PART)--------------|
D|--3-----------------5-----------5--5--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

 She�s got the moon in her hips and her eyes burn up like the sun
e|-(0)----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--1-----------------3-----------5--3--------------------------------|
G|--2-----------------4-----------4--4-------(MAIN PART)--------------|
D|--3-----------------5-----------5--5--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|


Chorus 1(Jon does not usually strum but instead fingerpicks the chords)


 Am           Em          F         C
I'm gone from my girl when I leave her alone                 e|--x--|
                                                             B|--3--|
            F            C           G (Then play this chord G|--0--|
There ain�t nothing that I�m running from                    D|--3--|
                                                             A|--x--|
        F         G                                          E|--3--|
There�s war in my blood

F              G         (MAIN PART)
I've still got wars to be won


Verse 2 repeats the same guitar �licks� as before

My baby�s soft and sweet
Somewhere between a flower and a gun
And where my girl is now
Someday that's where I want to be from

Chorus 2 is slightly different at one part

    Am        Em            F       C
But love is a dollar that's already spent
 F         C               G
Love is a song that's been sung
e|------------------------(x)----(x)--------------------|
B|------------------------(3)----(3)slide(5)�(3)-(1)-(0)|
G|------------------------(0)----(0)-----(0)�(0)--------|
D|------------------------(0)----(3)--------------------|
A|------------------------(x)----(x)--------------------|
E|------------------------(3)----(3)--------------------|

        F         G
There's war in my blood
F              G        (MAIN PART)
Love ain't the tune in my lungs

Bridge (Finally something easy!) =)

E                 F
So here's my consolation
C               Am
The opponent is enough
E                     F
It takes two to go to war
         G              C
And only one to fall in love

Verse 3 uses guitar identical to 1 and 2
I had a girl
I know precisely what made her run
Her skin looked like the sky
Made my heart beat itself like a drum


   Am         Em
I long for my girl
       F              C
When I meet her in my dreams
  F                      C          Em   E
I tell her she'll always be my only one
            F         G
But there's war in my blood
F             G                   (MAIN PART)
There ain't a thing love could have done


        F         G
There's war in my blood
        F         G
There's war in my blood
        F         G
There's war in my blood
        F         G          (MAIN PART)x2
There's war in my bl-uh-ah-uh-d

Ends on C

Such a great/fun song to play on acoustic guitar! Comments and ratings encouraged, Enjoy!
