This definitely is not 100% right, but it should give you a good enough idea of how to
the song and its not too hard

B-> Db tune up 1 step
G-> Db tune down 2 1/2 steps
D-> Db tune down 1/2 step

Chords: For the purpose of the song I'll label them by the note that sets them apart
a Db chord.

db|-0--0---0---0---0----0------|
Db|-0--0---0---0---0----0------|

Db|-5--4--11--12---7----0------|
Ab|(5)(4)--x---x---x----0------|
Db|-5--4--11--12---7----0------|


You also might want to try other chords that would fit with the key. There were many
I just couldn't figure out. One chord I couldn't really fit was the 2nd chord in the
I Put an A there simply because it was used in the bridge and verse and it sounded okay there.

Intro: G F# x2
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dashboard_confessional/keep_watch_for_the_mines_crd.html )

[C]Don't a[Db]ct like[G] you've[a] been[G] si[F#]lent

Verse 2-
Be careful who you wave that tongue at 'round here.
I've seen smarter acts than yours get disappeared.
If you keep swinging that knife up over this town
You are bound to get your own back stabbed

Chorus 2-
Open/Db
Keep watch for the mines
The conc[a]ealed d[G]angers.
Open/Db
The traps and the chords of the wires
With their s[a]harp r[G]azors.
Open/Db
The ditches and the trenches and the smiles
Of the[a] graved[G]iggers.
Open/Db a
And if you told, the answer needs no questioning,
The [G]answer is a lie.

Bridge- Open/Db, A, G 6x (quick strumming)
Keep watch for the mines.
Keep watch for the mines.
Keep watch for the mines.
(will they bleed everyone out?)
(will they bleed everyone out?)
Keep watch for the mines.
(will they bleed everyone out before they die?)
Keep watch for the mines.
(will they bleed everyone out?)
(will they bleed everyone out?)
Keep watch for the mines.
(will they bleed everyone out before they die?)
Keep watch for the mines.
