The Rat Who Would Be King
Tono: Original
The Rat Who Would Be King / Matthew Good Band / The Audio Of Being / 2001
Tabbed by Kathtastrophy
Tuning: Standard
I adapted this song for rhythm acoustic. Its very simple and you can play it along
to the song. Like all Good's songs play around with hammer-ons and completely
removing strings from a chord.
This a very basic outline.
Be creative with it.
G 320033
Am x02210
C x32010
F 133211 F and Fmaj9 are somewhat interchangeable
Fmaj9 x33010 I prefer the sound of Fmaj9 though
G/Am 302210
F#/Am 20(2)210
F/Am 10(2)210 or A regular barred F
Listen to the song to get the timing. If its confusing I can make a video.
Intro
G Am C Fmaj9
Verse 1:
G Am C Fmaj9
Even a blind
G Am C Fmaj9
squirrel finds a nut
G Am C Fmaj9
once in a while
G Am C Fmaj9
Once you're in you're pretty much ed
G Am C Fmaj9
When I was the rat
G Am C Fmaj9
The rat who would be king
G Am C Fmaj9
I imagined typhoid
G Am C Fmaj9
and us alone always us alone
Chorus:
C Am G F
And I've waited on the sidelines all this time all this time
C Am G F
And I've a grenade with our names scratched on the side
C
But that's just love
Am G/Am F#/Am F/Am
And you know that love's not enough
Am G/Am F#/Am F/Am
Love's not enough
G Am C Fmaj9 x2
Verse2: (same as 1: G Am C Fmaj9)
Crawl from the sea
Wait for some thumbs
A greatness to breed
Build the Mall of America
When I was the rat
The rat who would be king
I imagined ashes and us alone
Always us alone
Chorus:
C Am G F
And I've waited on the sidelines all this time all this time
C Am G F
And I've a grenade with our names scratched on the side
C
But that's just love
Am G/Am F#/Am F/Am
And you know that love's not enough
Am G/Am F#/Am F/Am
Love's not enough (x3)
Outro: Am G/Am F#/Am F/Am
For the end chorus I prefer using a G/C instead of C and the F instead of F/Am.
Gives it more impact.
