Here's the fourth new song to emerge from the next album. You can see a cool video of it here.
As is often the case with Ben, the key implies that the B chords are minor, but he plays them as B5 (power chords). Point is, if you're going to play the full chord, it sounds better minor.

Riff
Well it's Saturday night, out here on my own
Riff
Been downtown, don't know how long
Riff
Been waiting on a freind of mine, been saving her a seat
Riff
Bar's about to close, she's yet to be seen
G
Now in the past I've gone astray
D
Yes, I'm the one to blame
G
Come on now call me back, darlin please call me
A
I'm So down hearted
D____________A_______B______________G
It may be to late to save me little girl
D__________________________A_______________G
Called your phone `til the number wouldn't dial
D_________________A_______B______________G
Yes it may be too late to save me little girl
D_______________________A___________D
Show me a sign it might save me somehow
Riff
Now I could get better, or I could get drunk
Riff
Doubles for the road, reckon I'm done
Riff
Gonna pay up my tab, make it back accross town
Riff
Call one more time, see if she'd come near the house
G
Now in the past I've gone astray
D
Yes, I'm the one to blame
G
Come on now call me back, darlin please call me
A
I'm So down hearted
D____________A_______B______________G
It may be to late to save me little girl
D__________________________A_______________G
Called your phone `til the number wouldn't dial
D_________________A_______B______________G
Yes it may be too late to save me little girl
D_______________________A___________D
Show me a sign it might save me somehow
E_____________A
I know you're busy girl
D_____________G
I know you're working hard
E_____A___________________D
Every day just to make it through
E_________A
Maybe the best way to
D______________G
save me little girl
D____________________A________________D
Is by letting me, by letting me, save you
G
Now in the past I've gone astray
D
Yes, I'm the one to blame
G
Come on now call me back, darlin please call me
A
I'm So down hearted
D____________A_______B______________G
It may be to late to save me little girl
D__________________________A_______________G
Called your phone `til the number wouldn't dial

Yes it may be too late to save me little girl

Show me a sign it might save me somehow

Yes it may be too late to save me little girl
D_______________________A___________D____A
Show me a sign it might save me somehow
D_______________________A___________D
Show me a sign it might save me somehow

Great stuff and great new song. Thanks for putting these out here. I wish that I could play them as well as you from your videos, but I'll settle for hacking my way through.
Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words. I'm strictly an amateur, but I get a little better every hour that I play, and you will, too. Have fun while you're doing it.
what tuning is used? and could you show the chords. Because i tried to play it and it did not sound anywhere near as deep an powerful as in the video.
It's standard tuning and normal chords. As far as I know, Davey Jones is the only song Ben's done outside of standard tuning, and that's just dropped D.
Great song and great tab!
Btw. the song you mean is called Davey Brown ;)
Davey Jones is the guy from Pirates of the Carribean :D
I was referring to the guy from the Monkeys, not the pirate. ;-) Either way, you're right. Thanks!
Beginning riffs can be replaced by strumming D-A-G for the other non-note playing hacks!!
Thanks, man...the site kicks ass.
I am pretty sure this tabis wrong...the song seems to be in the same keys as the first two on the album.....sounds to me that it starts in E goes to A then B there's a c# in the chorus too.
