Punch Brothers - Welcome Home

      
 
 This song is from Antifogmatic, Punch Brothers' second studio album. This is the last
 song on the album.
 
 This song is very confusing at first but once you get the weird chord progressions,
 you're set for the whole of the song.
 You just have to be able to play lots of barre chords! You can play them however you
 like but I'll tab them how I do it.
 It's probably not the most efficient but find what's right for you in terms of the
 chords and their positions.
 
 Read through and look over this tab before and work out how to play it bit by bit then
 attempt the whole song.

 Verse:
 
 Abmaj7  G   Gb 
 Welcome home
 
    Am      Fm   Ab         Eb  Ab 
 if home it is and well you come
 
        Eb      Am      Fm            Cm   Fm Cm Em 
 we've seen the smoke and smelled the fumes.
 
 Abmaj7       G   Gb 
 You went for broke,
 
      Am    Fm     Ab       Eb  Ab 
 then under over a couple bucks,
 
        Eb       Am     Fm           Cm    Ab Eb D 
 threw down the yoke and put up your dukes.
 
 Chorus: (these are all sung separate of one another but are held in one long harmony so
 it's a bit hard to place the chord, listen to the song for the timing).
 Each chord held for 8 beats apart from the Gm, Cm, the second Ab, the Fm, and the
 Gbmaj7, which are all held for twice as long.
 You don't have to play the Gm on the 3rd line but it is played by the mandolin in the song.
 
 Bb      Bb7     Gm 
  May a blow land
 
 Ab            Abmaj7  Cm 
  where you'll feel it.
 
 Ab        Gm         Fm 
  May your fire spread
 
 Fm* Gbmaj7 Ebm Db
 through the coal-sewn fields.
 
 Verse:
 
 Abmaj7      G  Gb 
 Fare thee well,
 
      Am      Fm     Ab            Eb   Ab 
 in a welfare line or thy father's will.
 
       Eb      Am      Fm        Cm   Fm Cm Em 
 Don't kill us and we'll go your bail.
 
 Abmaj7      G   Gb 
 You hit and held
 
     Am       Fm    Ab         Eb     Ab 
 and folded, "enthralled isn't thrilled,"
 
     Eb          Am      Fm        Cm    Ab Eb D 
 you said, "grow up," and away you sailed.
 
 Chorus:
 
 Bb        Bb7     Gm 
  May the blow land
 
 Ab           Abmaj7 Cm 
  where he'll see it.
 
 Ab        Gm         Fm 
  May your fear spread
 
 Fm* Gbmaj7 Bbm
 through the tear-stained shores.
 
 Bridge: Only start to play chords when the bass comes in
 
 Bbm E 
   
 Bbm                E       
 Saying, "I never knew you."
 
 Bbm                E       Dbm 
 Saying, "I never knew you."
 
           E        Dbm 
 "I never knew you."
 
            E       Dbm 
 "I never knew you."
 
            E       G E Dbm 
 "I never knew you."
 
 Verse:
 
 Abmaj7  G   Gb 
 Welcome home
 
    Am      Fm    Ab        Eb  Ab 
 if home it is and well you come
 
        Eb       Am  Fm        Cm  Fm Em Cm 
 'cause fear and fire can't consume
 
 Abmaj7      G   Gb 
 condemn, condone,
 
    Am      Fm     Ab       Eb   Ab 
 or dismiss what we haven't done,
 
     Eb           Am  
 and he's out of salt.
 
 Fm           Cm    Ab Eb D 
 Go dress your wounds.
 
 Chorus:
 
 Bb      Bb7     Gm 
  Lay a flare down
 
 Ab        Abmaj7  Cm 
  by your dull pain.
 
 Ab      Gm     Fm 
  May he show up
 
 Fm* Gbmaj7
 or may you move on.
 
 Ebm               Gbmaj7         
  He will show up, he will show up
 
 Ebm                  Gmaj7         Db 
 or you will move on, you will move on.

 That's all that's to it. I hope this tab is accurate as it's taken me a long time to
 figure out the chords to this song. Thankk :).
