Helsinki

• G

          Helsinki by Chris Shiflett & the Dead Peasants
Tabbed by:LesThanPaul

The first track from Chris Shiflett's side project. It's a pretty
easy song once you get the progression down. Have fun and enjoy!

UPDATE 4/13: I noticed some of the verse chords were a little
misplaced(probably formatting when I switched from word) so I
fixed that and added a solo which I recently finished

**special notes**
In the chorus parts that look like a jumbled mess of chords, it is just
the intro progression played beneath the words. I tried to line it up as
best I could, but it was a bit tricky.

Also, on most (maybe all) of the D chords in the song, he fools around with
the sus4. I'll leave that up to you whether you want to add them or not.

Chords used:

  G   D   Am  Asus2  Em   C  Dsus4  Cadd9


intro: G    D   Am Asus2   Em  C   D Dsus4  x2

                 G                          Cadd9
I can't wait to get there, and see what was left there of you
                Am                D
pick through the pieces, I can't resist it
         G                      Cadd9
set from the get-go, knew it was over before
            Am                      D
we hit that first chord, all out of tune

   G                     Cadd9
so what did ya think was gonna happen
G                            Cadd9
you were just the ghost of a bad habit
G                   Cadd9
where is the blood, where is the passion?
G              Cadd9               D
I got lost on a bad reaction to you


            G                 Cadd9
point dirty fingers, it's everybody's fault when
        Am               D
history lingers, history leaves little doubt
               G              Cadd9
but gives me a treason, but I gave you the truth
           Am             D
you gave me reasons, a pitiful excuse

   G                     Cadd9
so what did ya think was gonna happen
G                            Cadd9
you were just the ghost of a bad habit
G                   Cadd9
where is the blood, where is the passion?
G              Cadd9               D
I got lost on a bad reaction to you


          G  D  Am
oh that's it
      Asus2         Em   C   D Dsus4
do you remember the reasons?
               G     D   Am
where's the passion?
Asus2         Em   C  D Dsus4
where is the fire?

G                                           Cadd9

where's the passion?
Asus2         Em   C  D Dsus4
where is the fire?

            G  D  Am
a bad reaction
      Asus2         Em   C   D Dsus4
do you remember the reasons?
               G     D   Am
where's the passion?
Asus2         Em   C  D Dsus4
where is the fire?

          G  D  Am
oh that's it
      Asus2         Em   C   D Dsus4
do you remember the reasons?
          G     D   Am
oh that's it
Asus2         Em   C  D Dsus4
where is the fire?
