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.

D chord {x x 0 2 3 2}
E chord {0 2 2 1 0 0}
G chord {3 2 0 0 0 3}
A chord {x 0 2 2 2 0}
Bm chord {x 2 4 4 3 2}

Show me scales that sound good with the chords in this song: D,E,G,A,Bm.

Intro- A (Electric)

Verse 1

A        D                     Bm                G              
One holy ghost for a home made girl in a green t-shirt that read
  D                    E
I quote, "What price damnation now?"
A                 D                        Bm                     G
In the schools of thought and the halls of state with the leap of faith
          D                     E        D             E
the loose translation must have lost her, it must have cost her..


Chorus 1

      Bm          G             D                   A             
to go back..to the civilization caught between here and the real one
Bm          G          E            G, A (x4)
just to say what you'd begun to say once. 


Interlude A, D, Bm, G, D, E


Verse 2

A           D                            Bm                       G
We've been enrolled in the wrong schools all through the pride of fall,
            D           E
the falling price of education
A                  D                    Bm                    G
There have been no clues in the last few days, in the steps retraced,
    D                   E         D            E
the education must have cost her. It must have caused her...


Chorus 2

      Bm          G            D                   A
to go back to the civilization caught between here, and the real one
Bm          G          E            G, A (x4)
just to say what you'd begun to say once..

D                    E       A,D,Bm,G             D                 E
The education must have cost her......(The loose translation must have lost her
D            E
It must have lost her, yeah.....!) (x2)
