'This Old Wound' by Dashboard Confessional - Guitar Tutorial
Gtp chords: This Old Wound
Song lyrics:
Hello everybody, It's not so easy to find a tab for this song, So I thought I'd just make a refined version for ya'll. I built This tab off of a bunch of stuff I got off of Dashtabs.com, It's pretty damned accurate, and if you wonder why I said to tune the guitar half a step flat, even though It uses a capo, It's because Our Friend Chris Carrabba tunes it that way! You can keep it standard and just put the capo on 3 if you want!! Tuning 1/2 Step flat (EbAbDbGbBbeb) Capo 4* *all numbers are relative to capo, duh!

Verse 2 I think I’m doing well from what they say They’ve taken both my belt and shoelaces away Well I believe in luck, I think I do Well I believe for sure, If ever I see you Verse 3 I’ve been fanning flames from these old coals Feeding them with tender, And hoping they will grow And I’ve been savoring what I can’t hold A blind belief in goodness, that doesn’t seem to show Outro But I’ve been bleeding well From this old wound Cleaning it with salt, So it will still feel new
