Tabbed by: BionicKangaroo Email: switchblade327[AT]hotmail[DOT]com Date: Dec. 6th, 07 This is the first song of the Murder Trilogy The Killers been talking about for the last years, finally released on the "Sawdust" album last month. The story continues with Show" then "Jenny was a Friend of Mine" off the "Hot Fuss" album. This is my first tab ever done for the public and I'm hardly a brilliant guitarist so please understand that is less then perfect. But I wanted to learn this song and give something back for all tabs I've taken. They're using some funky chords (diminished, i think?) on the run up during "Before you goodbye" and the subsequent pause that I can't quite pin so if someone figures them out, amend this tab. What I have down there is definitely not correct. Besides this part, I I've got the roots of the song down. Besides, I don't see other tabs for this song so it's better then nothing! The main chords at the beginning are played muffled, almost rockabilly/country style chords on and off the 7th note. I can't remember what this technique is called but it's so:

e|-^C#-----| B|------| G|------| D|-6--8-| A|-4--4-| E|------|

e|-^F#-----| B|------| G|------| D|------| A|-4--6-| E|-2--2-|

e|-^G#-----| B|------| G|------| D|------| A|-6--8-| E|-4--4-|

e|-^A#-----| B|------| G|------| D|-3--5-| A|-1--1-| E|------|

The G#/A chord is just a G# bar chord but with the 6th sting on the 5th fret/A. This is probably wrong but it's closer then a full A chord. Intro: C# (4 measures)

^C#Shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go Got a new ^F#place, and how it's so much better ^C#Falling over myself, the televisions' on, G# G#/D I turn it off and smile ^A#Oh, Jennif^F#er, you know I always tried ^GBe^G#for^Ae you^A# say goodbye

AAAAAG#

^C#Leave the bourbon on the shelf And I'll^F# drink it by myself And ^A#I love you endlessly, Da^G#rling do^F#n't you see I'm not satisfied Unti^G#l I hold you tight Give m^C#e one more chance tonight And I ^F#swear I'll make it right But yo^A#u ain't got time for this And th^G#at wreckin' bell is ringin' An^F#d I'm not satisfied Un^G#til I hold you

C# (not muted) F# Jennifer, tell me where I stand A#m G# G#/A And who's that boy holdin' your hand?

^A#Oh, Jennif^F#er, you know I always tried ^GBe^G#for^Ae you^A# say goodbye

AAAAAG# Leave the bourbon on the shelf And I'll drink it by myself And I never liked your hair or those people that you lie with But I'm not satisfied Until I hold you tight And I love you endlessly, Darling don't you see I can't be satisfied Until I hold you tight Leave the bourbon on the shelf And I'll drink it by myself And I love you endlessly, Darling don't you see I'm not satisfied
