The Tallest Man on Earth - Burden of Tomorrow

      
 
 EDITED FROM LAST VERSION
 
 I totally agree that this is the best song on the album. Maybe one day someone will
 post it with drop tuning, but this is standard tuning.
 
 (To make fingerwork easier: put capo on second fret to make it an F# chord but with an E
 fingering. Get it? In which case you'd be fingering E, A, E, A B, c#m, A, B... for
 the beginning of the verse)
 
 **Note: When playing the final chord of the chorus, I believe the artist's tuning
 creates a B chord with a Major 7th added, or Major B7 chord (not a dominant 7, which instead
 would add a minor 7th). At this moment, either a B, a Major B7, or an a# minor chord
 sound pretty good to me.

    F#           B                       F# 
 Oh I was sent to find the lonesome place
                B              C#  
 Where I was lost but left to trace
           d#m           B       C#     
 By carving riddles on the lonesome vine
    F#           B                    F# 
 Oh but rumor has it that I wasn't born
                 B              C# 
 I just walked in one frosty morn
          d#m           B       C#  
 Into the vision of some vacant mind
 
 B C# F# B **(optional: add 7, I think it's heard in Matsson's tuning.)
 Oh once I held a pony by its flagging mane
        B          C#          F#        B       
 And once I called the shadow in the turning game
     d#m    C#  B            C#                      
 But I will  fight this stranger that you should fear
     d#m   C# B          F#             
 So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear

 Aww Xavier's on the border of the sun
           B               C#       
 Swings on the chambers of your guns
              d#m             B           C#    
 And tries to shoot the chord and light the path
    F#           B            F#                
 Aww but hell I'm just a blind man on the plains
           B           C#      
 I drink my water when it rains
         d#m             B        C#           
 And live by chance among the lightning strikes
 
     B      C#      F#    B               
 Oh once I held a glacier to an open flame
        B          C#          F#      B        
 And once I felt like wildcat in the fallen game
       d#m    C#     B         C#                   
 But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
       d#m    C#     B         F#       
 So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear

 Oh the singer's on the edge to feed the canyon's mouth
    B      C#      F#    d#m                          
 They will go on forever til they sing you out of time
      d#m    C#     B         C#                    
 But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
      d#m    C#     B         F#        
 So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear
