Salvation

Words & Music:

The Cranberries

 

[capo 3]  Tabbed by Nathan Drackett.  You can play these as power chords or full chords, it sounds good either way.  Main riff is:

 

  E    C    G  (add6) G  (add6)

E|---------|------------------|

B|---------|------------------|

G|---------|------------------|

D|2222-2222|------------------|

A|2222-3333|2-2-0-0---2-2-0-0-|

E|---------|3-3-3-3---3-3-2-2-|

  1+2+ 3+4+|1 + 2 +   3 + 4 +

 

To all those people doing lines; don't do it, don't do it.

Inject your soul with liberty; it's free, it's free.

 

To all the kids with heroin eyes; don't do it, don't do it.

Because it's not, not what it seems.

No, no it's not, not what it seems.

 

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

 

To all those parents with sleepless nights, sleepless nights.

Tie your kids home to their beds, clean their heads.

 

To all the kids with heroin eyes; don't do it, don't do it.

Because it's not, not what it seems.

No, no it's not, not what it seems.

 

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

 

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free

 

Then the ending:

  G    G    G    E
