Swing Life Away chords & tabs

Song: "Swing Life Away"
Artist: Rise Against
Album: "Siren Song Of The Counter Culture"
By: Project-96

Hey, this is a great song, and I am pretty sure that this is correct.  Now notice
that I have given the strum for this one and it too is correct, some of the other tabs
aren't. Also I would suggest listening to the song when doing this, just so that you
can get the timing, strum, and what not.

Tuning: half-step down

Chords: G5: E|3  Csus4: E|3  Em7: E|3  D5: E|3  A5: E|3

I did this all by ear so if it's wrong don't hate me! I'm a beginner :P :)
This is just meant to be a simpler version of playing Swing Life Away. Enjoy!

Intro: Em, D, C
Em, D, C, D

Em          D          C
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Em           D      G   C
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Em         D              C                D
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

Em          D             C
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Em          D        G        C

Swing Life Away - Rise Against

I afraid to say this tab is 100% correct, because chances are that the band plays it
slightly differently, since you can play it with one or 2 guitars, power chords or open
chords, harmonics or not... but, that being said, the hundred-or-so people I played this
variation for were pretty happy with it. You will be too. Just buy the CD and listen to
the song to get the feel for it.  ENJOY!

22.06.2008 - I knew there would be some mistakes. Fixed the thing in the interlude.

05.04.2008 - I finally got control of this tab, and i've fixed some things that we're
me. It should be almost completely perfect now (although i thought it was last time so who knows)

Tuning: I'm not sure to be honest cuz my guitar's in standard B tuning at the mo
and it sounds near perfect in that but could be played in standard or
something!

Ok some bits i've added myself, others I've borrowed from other tabs, but all
to make a correct one! I think this is correct, i played it with the song and it
sounded near enough perfect. I have no idea what the strumming patterns are, so i
had a wild guess, so you'll have to work it out for yourself, but atleast the chords
are there! Enjoi

This is my first tab here on Ultimate-guitar.
I found a tab for this song, but it was hard to play and you had to tune down you
guitar to Eb.
But this is in STANDARD TUNING. Probobly not the same key as original, but it'll do!
Try playing with capo to find the right key!
All this is played with very much PALM MUTE but lighter in the chorus!
Maybe you think this sucks, well then, make your own and post it!!

This song is played w/ half down step tuning, although starndard has a higher pitch, it
sounds almost the same.
[for those who don't know how to tune it down, but it is recommended.]

The strumming pattern is _ _ ^ _ [down, down, up, down = one bar]
