War In My Blood by Jon Foreman
War in My Blood � Jon Foreman (and Sean Watkins)
CAPO 2
This is my first tab I�ve ever done, seems like about time that I actually contributed
=) . I tabbed this by what it looks like and sounds like Jon is playing. I�m pretty sure
is really close to what Jon plays. He uses CAPO 2. As you have probably already
the numbers for frets are in relation to the capo.
I�m calling the intro the MAIN PART because it�s used so frequently in the song,
you see (MAIN PART) that means this is being played. You�re probably going to have to
to
song to get the rhythm of it.
e|--------------------------------------------|
B|----1---------1--------------1--------------|
G|-----------2------(0)--0(h2)---2p0----------|
D|-------0h3--------------(h3)----------------|
A|--3---------------(3)-----------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|
If you can get this part, you can play like half the song.
The verse uses these chords but Jon fingerpicks them.
I have a girl she tastes like rain on my tongue

There�s war in my blood
F G (MAIN PART)
I've still got wars to be won
Verse 2 repeats the same guitar �licks� as before
My baby�s soft and sweet
Somewhere between a flower and a gun
And where my girl is now
Someday that's where I want to be from
Chorus 2 is slightly different at one part
Am Em F C
But love is a dollar that's already spent

Love is a song that's been sung

F G
There's war in my blood
F G (MAIN PART)
Love ain't the tune in my lungs
Bridge (Finally something easy!) =)
E F
So here's my consolation
C Am
The opponent is enough
E F
It takes two to go to war
G C
And only one to fall in love
Verse 3 uses guitar identical to 1 and 2
I had a girl
I know precisely what made her run
Her skin looked like the sky
Made my heart beat itself like a drum
Am Em
I long for my girl
F C
When I meet her in my dreams
F C Em E
I tell her she'll always be my only one
F G
But there's war in my blood
F G (MAIN PART)
There ain't a thing love could have done
F G
There's war in my blood
F G
There's war in my blood
F G
There's war in my blood
F G (MAIN PART)x2
There's war in my bl-uh-ah-uh-d
Ends on C
Such a great/fun song to play on acoustic guitar! Comments and ratings encouraged, Enjoy!
