Song: "Commonwealth"
Artist: PlankEye
Album: Commonwealth

Tab by: Evan Dickens


Jared Romero does great PlankEye tabs, but this one was a little off.
When I play it, I use nothing but single notes on the A string. I think
that's how PlankEye does it also; it doesn't sound to me like there's
any chords being strummed in the song. This is a great little pop song,
the title cut from PlankEye's Commonwealth CD, in my opinion the
greatest alternative rock CD ever made, without a doubt. 

All riffs below are repeated over the lyrics that follow them.

(VERSE)

A|--7/9-5-5-5-5-7-5-7-5-7-5--| 

He sits and hears 
The story of his life
His tears fall down like rain
As he begins to realize

(INTRO-CHORUS)

A|--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--|

And I wish that I was near to you
And I wish that I was there again

(CHORUS)

A|--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9--|

Life is more than gold
Friends are more than old
Memories 
Are the commonwealth

(REPEAT VERSE RIFF)

Thinking about the only Son
That he may have forgotten
You know you were the only one
That he may have forgotten

(REPEAT INTRO-CHORUS)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Thanking God as the time passes by
As another man does the same
He thinks about the reasons why
Maybe she was the one to blame

This is 100% correct. I'm 99% sure of it. :) However, I am human, as I
constantly must remind myself, so if you find something in here that

e-mail me if you can think of a way to make this tab more readable. I
think it's okay, but I'm not you. Finally, please drop me a line if you
find this tab useful. Thanks, and God Bless!
