This Is "The End" (Featuring Lights)
Title: The End
Artist: Silverstein
Album: A Shipwreck In The Sand
Tuning: 1/2 Step
Every tabbed version of this truly excellent song was very incorrect, so I learned
it by ear on my own and decided to tab it.
I honestly have no clue how accurate this is, i'm sure some parts of it are the
exact way the band plays, and others aren't. I looked for a live version to verify
any doubts I had but was unable to find anything helpful.
But the point is it sounds very very close to the album track. Enjoy.
The Following Chords Are Used In This Song:
Cb5 Cb Emaj9 Gbsus4 Ab5 E5e|--------3-----------x-----------x-----------x-----------x-----------x---|B|--------X-----------x-----------5-----------3-----------x-----------x---|G|--------5-----------5-----------5-----------5-----------2-----------5---|D|--------5-----------5-----------x-----------x-----------2-----------x---|A|--------------------3-----------3-----------3-----------0-----------3---|E|--------------------x-----------x-----------x-----------------------x---|
Any acronyms or symbols I use are pretty straightforward
/ = slide
po = pull off
ho = hammer on
x = dampen
I think those are all you'll need to know for the tab.
Again, the tuning is 1/2 step down.
Everything else about the tab I will let you learn for yourself, i.e. strumming
pattern, fingering, etc. simply because everybody plays differently and any tips I
give will not accommodate every reader.
You can find the song on YouTube in case you don't have the mp3 to go off of.
So go figure it out and have fun.

|There is something, I want you to know |
|I think you know exactly what it is |
|I didn't want to save you,I didn't want to save you |
|I set our house on fire, to watch it burn -But I couldn't just leave you |
|(There) |

Chorus:
And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside, you could never
Reach, but I'll ask you this
Will you still miss me? (Yes I'll miss you) Do you love me? (Yes I love you)
Bridge 2:
Planes fill the
Sky, we'll
Both die tonight, we'll both die tonight
Hands from the
Sky, swat us
Away like flies, as we follow the light
Planes fill the
Sky, we'll
Both die tonight, we'll both die tonight
Hands from the
Sky, swat us
Away like flies, as we follow the light
We'll both die tonight
We'll both die tonight
Swat us away like flies
(We'll both die tonight)
As we follow the light
(As we follow the light)
Ending: It's so short and simple I didn't bother tabbing it. Whenever I perform
the song I always stop early on the final Ab5 chord. So I never learned it.
Because, in my opinion it sounds better without it.
But here are the lyrics if you wanna mess around.
This union, a battle fought and lost
This union, was not about the cause
This union, was never about love...
