Your Eyes by Bombay Bicycle Club
Tabbed by Tomr221

Ok. So I have never tabbed anything before in my life but since (at least when last
looked) there is no tab for this great song I thought I would give it a whirl. It's not
perfect but I'm hoping it's at least a decent effort. Feedback would be appreciated.
I've played this tab on my semi-acoustic guitar so I can't really say how it sounds on others.


Verse

�Nod my head, so dumb with love��
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------12-9-10-9--12-9-10-9--12-9-10-12--10-9-7-------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|

�Shut my eyes, pretend it�s there��
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------9---7----9---7----9---7----7-------------------------------|
D----------9---9----9---9----9---9----9-----------------------------|
G---------------------------------------9---------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Repeat the above riffs once more.


Chorus
�Coming Back�
This part is just switching between the 9th and 7th fret on the B String.
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------9-7--------------------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|

�You come out and say the word��
This riff is played the first and third times:
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------9-7------------------9-7-----------------------------------|
D-------------9-6---6-9---6-9-----9-6-------------------------------|
G------------------9----9-------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|

On the second time it ends slightly differently:
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------9-7------------------9-7---7-------------------------------|
D-------------9-6---6-9---6-9-----9---------------------------------|
G------------------9----9-------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|

When played the fourth time, it stops abruptly about halfway through:
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------9-7--------------------------------------------------------|
D-------------9-6---6-9---------------------------------------------|
G------------------9------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|

�Coming Back� (Heavier)
Really not too sure about these but I think it might be these power chords or something similar.
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D--------2-----4----------------------------------------------------|
G--------2-----4-----2----------------------------------------------|
A--------0-----2-----2----------------------------------------------|
E--------------------0----------------------------------------------|


Outro (�Your Eyes�)
This is the bass line in outro (you should be able to work out the rhythm yourself):
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A--------2------5------0--------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|

I don�t think there really is a guitar part for this the initial part of the outro but
it sounds OK if you play along with these power chords:
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D--------4------7------2--------------------------------------------|
G--------4------7------2--------------------------------------------|
A--------2------5------0--------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|

At some point during the �Your Eyes� outro part this comes in with a really weird effect:
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------7----------------------------------------------------------|
D----------6---6hold------------------------------------------------|
G------------9------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|


And that�s basically it. The structure of the song is:
Verse

Lyrics
Nod my head so dumb with love
there's something else I'm dreaming of
Shut my eyes pretend it's there
keep me here, unaware
I would promise all I could
think about it afterward
Humour me just think it through
it's all I ever asked of you

Coming back x4

You come out and say the word
quick how all the tables turned
Hate that there's a space to fill
always have and always will
I'm there when your fingers snap
it's not where we left it at
I can see the love we trapped, coming back

Along the barren streets we slide
poke at any dirt we find
Magnify for us to see
then dig them up desperately
I would promise all I could
think about it afterward
Humour me just think it through
it's all I ever asked of you

Coming back x4

You come out and say the word
quick how all the tables turned
Hate that there's a space to fill
always have and always will
I'm there when your fingers snap
it's not where we left it at
I can see the love we trapped, coming back x2

Your eyes x12
