Tab Mapper
Tab or chord file URL:

The tab mapper is a handy little tool that will render a guitar tab file with graphic chord diagrams displayed alongside. This comes in handy for people who just don't have every single chord shape memorized. Just plug in the web site address of a valid .tab or .crd file and hit "Go". In general, the tab mapper does a better job with printer friendly URLs. If there is more than one way to play a chord, the tab mapper will choose the most common shape. To see other fingerings, click on the chord diagram and you will be taken to the chord calculator.

Dm chord {x x 0 2 3 1}
A chord {x 0 2 2 2 0}
C6sus4 chord {x 3 3 2 1 1}
Gsus4 chord {3 3 0 0 3 3}
Cadd9 chord {x 3 2 0 3 0}
Em/G chord {3 2 2 0 0 0}
Gsus4 chord {3 3 0 0 3 3}

poor   boy

    Cadd9    C6sus4*  Gsus4  Em/G  Dm  C6sus4
your wife is in hard  labor

   Gsus4       Em/G
the rhythm you know

     Cadd9       C6sus4        Gsus4  Em/G  Dm  C6sus4
is pulsing and drifting to the grave

Gsus4        Em/G
when you come too

         Cadd9       C6sus4        Gsus4     Em/G  Dm
you'll be asking yourself just one question

     C6sus4       Gsus4  Em/G  Dm
was I always this way?

     C6sus4       Gsus4  Em/G  Dm  C6sus4  Gsus4  Em/G  Dm  C6sus4
was I always this way?


Gsus4       Em/G
think back a year

     Cadd9      C6sus4       Gsus4   Em/G  Dm  C6sus4
when everything stood at the surface

Gsus         Em/G           Cadd9             C6sus4    Gsus4
bandage your cuts because you don't know what swims underneath

Em/G  Dm  C6sus4

Gsus4   Em/G
hold    tight

   Cadd9            C6sus4   Gsus4  Em/G
the bondage of this life is slipping

Dm   C6sus4         Gsus4  Em/G
 why shouldn't it be me?

Dm   C6sus4         Gsus4  Em/G  Dm  C6sus4  Gsus4  Em/G
 why shouldn't it be me?

Dm  C6sus4 Gsus4 Em/G Dm Em/G

C6sus4~
  when I come back

              Gsus4     Em/G
you'll be the brightest star

      Dm     Em/G 
in the black

C6sus4~          C6sus4~
  when there are days
                 Gsus4        Em/G       Dm  Gsus4
that you want the call we're all waiting for

    Em/G
think back

Gsus4  Em/G
poor   boy

Cadd9  C6sus4   Gsus4  Em/G  Dm  C6sus4
life is in hard labor

Gsus4  Em/G    Cadd9          C6sus4       Gsus4  Em/G  Dm  C6sus4
go     buy the flowers you'll leave on its grave

Gsus4        Em/G     Cadd9
then with the goal of movement

    C6sus4      Gsus4    Em/G  Dm
now one this is different

    C6sus4        Gsus4  Em/G  Dm
you don't want to change

    C6sus4        Gsus4~
I don't want to change

end on Gsus4


Enjoy :)
