Caution by The Killers - Guitar Chords
<< Back to The Killers Song List
Version 1 Version 2
The instrumental part on this tab is 100% correct!
IT'S ALL ABOUT TIMING!
The C chord before the D is a bit longer, so pay attention to that!
I wrote it in twice in parts where it's a beat longer.
I think a C just moving down a string from G (3A, 2D, 0G, 3B, 3e) sounds good in the chorus/instrumental part.
It has that bass walk down to G after the C chord.
So C chord, then the B note, A, back to G chord.
It's just something to do to spice up your playing, but not necessary.
ALSO:
I'm pretty dang sure they recored this with it being tuned down half a step, (look at the live videos, it's
in F# but Ronnie is playing a G chord, hence; half step down.) So they also must have recorded at .25 or .50
speed.
[Intro]
N.C.
And there is nothing
I want to do
There is nothing
I want to give
There is nothing
Come my way
[Verse 1]
G Em C C/B C/A G
Let me introduce you to the featherweight queen
D Em C G
She got Hollywood eyes, but she can't shoot what she see
G Em C G
Momma was a dancer, and that's all that she knew
D Em C G
'Cause when you live in the desert that's what pretty girls do
[Chorus]
G Em C G
I’m throwin' caution, what's it gonna be?
D Em C G
Tonight the winds of change are blowing wild and free
G Em C G
If I don't get out, out of this town
D Em C G
I just might be the one who finally burns it down
G Em C G
I'm throwin' caution
G D (snyth comes in) G C
I'm throwin' caution
C D G C
G D G C C D G C
[Verse 2]
G Em C G
Never had a diamond on the sole of her shoes
D Em C G
Just blacktop white trash straight out of the news
G Em C G
Doesn't like birthdays, they remind her of why
D Em C G
She can go straight from zero to the Fourth of July
[Chorus]
G Em C G
I’m throwin' caution, what's it gonna be?
D Em C G
Tonight the winds of change are coming over me
G Em C G
If I don't get out, out of this town
D Em C G
I just might be the one who finally burns it down
G D G C
I'm throwin' caution
C D G C
I'm throwin' caution
G D G C
I'm throwin' caution
C D G C
I'm throwin' caution
[Bridge] - I stop playing on the bridge, hard to make out if there's anything but the drums going here.
N.C.
'Cause it's some kind of sin
N.C.
To live your whole life
N.C.
On a might've been
N.C.
I'm ready now
[Solo]
