Artist: Damien Rice - Live
Song: Lonely soldier
Tabbed by: Andy R. (andy@kuzr.com)
======================================================

Since there is no official studio recording of this song *yet*, this version was transcribed from the live show @ The Warfield, SF (3-27-2004). It's played in typical Damo form - lots of hammers, capo on 5, etc. These are the basic chords, so listen to your favorite version to get down the exact strum and hammer patterns. This song is really beautiful.

*** CAPO ON 5TH ***
(all chords relative to capo)


G	320033
C	x32010 (sometimes switches to x32011)
F#/G	2x0033
Em	022033
Dsus2	xx0230 (listen for hammers to D - xx0232)

[C / (D/F#)]* - Not sure what the 2nd chord is called, but it's basically
a C (x32010) that slides to a D/F#[?] (x54035). He does this same slide in
a few other songs as well.


==============================

Intro:

G -> C


G       C             G  
Lonely soldier go home
       C             G
Lonely but never alone
F#/G  Em        C        G   
Good eyes see nothing to shoot
F#/G  Em            Dsus2          G
Good feet feel good givin up good boots

             C               G   		
So ask your father how'd ya fall?
           C               G
Ask your father how'd ya fall?
F#/G    Em      C           G    
Like a leaf sittin on the ground
F#/G     Em         Dsus2     G
good for nothin cept kickin around

                 C               G
She died with her hands stretched out
                  C           G  
she died with her hungry mouth
			C         G
she died with her mind full of doubt
              D
and thoughts of weakening

		 C           G
And so may your river never dry
             C           G
and may your mouth never lie
                    C                   G
and may you be satisfied to never know why
                  [C / D/F#]* 
or how to live again

G                       C           G
where'd you get those cuts in your hand?
                         C             G
I thought I toldya bout playing in the sand
F#/G   Em                 C           G
there's always someone careless with glass
F#/G    Em               C           G
just like a question you don't wanna ask

                 C               G
She died with her hands stretched out
                  C           G  
she died with her hungry mouth
			C         G
she died with her mind full of doubt
              D
and thoughts of weakening

		 C           G
And so may your river never dry
             C           G
and may your mouth never lie
                    C                   G
and may you be satisfied to never know why
                  [C / D/F#]* 
or how to live again


G       C             G  
Lonely soldier go home
       C             G
Lonely but never alone
*
      Em        C        G   
Good eyes see nothing to shoot
      Em            Dsus2     C     F#/G   G
Good feet feel good givin up good boots


*this last part is played softly, and much slower. Three strums on the F#/G and one strum on the G - let it ring. Listen to the song if you have problems :)
