roman candle


First of all I can assure you all that this tab is less than perfect.
However it sounds pretty good to me and I enjoy playing it. Please let me
know if you can work out something better cos it's a great song and I would
love to be able to play it better myself.

Tuning: EADGbb (capo 7)

Intro: strum Esus? (022200) Sorry I don't know the name. Rest assured
that'll happen again!

Em   F# (244300) C/G (332000)
he played himself
           Em     F#       C/G  F#? (2X4000)
didn't need me to give him hell

            Em       F#       C/G  F#?
he could be cool and cruel to you and me

              Em      F#   C/G       Em/A? (002000)

Em  G (3X0000)  Em? (07X000)

Em        G        Em?

Esus? F# C/G

(same as before)
i want to hurt him 

i want to give him pain

i'm a roman candle

my head is full of flames

(same as before but with extra chord at the end???
 I can't work it out so I just play usual)
i want to hurt him...

Esus?  F#  C/G  F#?
oooh...

and make him feel this pretty burn (I'm sorry, I've gone into overload
trying to get this bit exactly right and quite frankly I've decided to give
up for the time being! I surrender.)
