Guns For Hands by Twenty One Pilots
Twenty One Pilots – Guns for Hands
Tabbed by Simon Kelly
Standard tuning
No capo
Noticed there was no tabs for this song, only chords, so I tabbed out the synth and think it sounds
pretty good.
I did it on acoustic, but I think an electric with effects would sound great.
(Just a note to avoid confusion; Where it says --1111-- in the tab, that's two 11s played very quickly as you
pass the pick down over it, and hit it on the way back up again [you'll hear it in the song].
Don't confuse it with four 1's)
In my opinion, the notes in the verse sound best if you palm mute.

Bridge
D#m
D#m B F# C# x2
D#m
We've turned our hands to guns, trade in our thumbs for ammunition.
B
I must forewarn you of my disorder, my condition.
F#
'Cause when the sun sets, it upsets what's left of my invested interest,
C#
Interested in putting my fingers to my head.
D#m
The solution is I see a whole room of these mutant kids,
B
Fused at the wrist I simply tell them they should shoot at this.
F#
Simply suggest my chest and this confused music is
D#m
Obviously best for them to turn their guns to a fist.
