Pete Yorn的《Life on a Chain》是一首旋律优美，情感真挚的歌曲，出自他早期的作品。歌词充斥了隐喻和象征，讲述了在束缚中寻找自由和希望的故事。歌曲的氛围略带忧伤，但又蕴含着对未来的期盼。

歌曲配景与情感表达： 《Life on a Chain》歌名自己就暗示了主人公被某种东西束缚，无论是情感、社会还是自我。歌词中“I live on a chain, and you, share the same last name”暗示了一种命运的纠缠，可能指代恋爱、亲情或者其他难以割舍的关系。“As a joke, I sent a bottle of whiskey, as you choked, you said it made you feel dirty”则表达了关系中一种不健康的互动方式，也许是试图用酒精麻痹自己，却反而加深了痛苦。而“Waiting over here, for life to begin, I was looking for the new thing, and you were the sunshine heading my front line”则点亮了希望的火花，渴望新的开始，并视对方为生命中的阳光，照亮前行的途径。

吉他弹奏技巧： 乐谱展示的是歌曲中宁静的部分，适合使用原声吉他或者电吉他的清音来演奏。主要的和弦是基于开放和弦的指法，比较容易上手。需要注意的是 strumming 的节奏，谱子中提供了 d u d u d u d u d u 的指示，需要反复练习以掌握歌曲的律动感。可以测验考试用分歧的 strumming 模式来丰富演奏的表示力。谱子提供的只是一个基础版本，建议人人根据自己的理解和感觉进行改编，加入一些自己的元素。

乐谱分析： 谱子中使用的和弦主要集中在Am和弦附近变革，通过简单的指法变革，营造出一种略带忧伤的氛围。这种编配方式简洁而不失力量，能够很好地烘托歌曲的情感。

总而言之，《Life on a Chain》是一首值得细细品味的歌曲。通过学习这个吉他乐谱，不仅可以掌握一些基本的吉他技巧，更可以深入理解歌曲的情感，从而更好地演绎这首作品，在音乐中找到共鸣。

I am pretty sure this isn't correct but it's as close as I
could get.  I don't have a very good ear for chords,  but I
hope this will motivate someone else to tab it better than
I could.  This is just the quiet part of the song.

Lyrics:
I, live on a chain,
and you, share the same last name,
as a joke, I sent a bottle of whiskey,
as you choked, you said it made you feel dirty,
and I was waiting over here,
for life to begin,
I was looking for the new thing,
and you were the sunshine, heading my front-line,
I was alone, you were just around the corner from me.
Time alone is good, I spend my days in the city,
dirty neighborhood, you know youll never convince me,
so I sold the town away, I couldnt wait to forget you,
I was killed in half a day, I hadnt time to regret you,
and I was waiting over here,
for life to begin,
I was looking for the new thing,
and you were the sunshine heading my front line,
I was alone, you were just around the corner from me.
I, I'm still on the chain,
and you, you had the same last name,
as a joke, I sent a bottle of whiskey,
as you choked, said it made you feel dirty.
Waiting over here,
for life to begin,
I was looking for the new thing,
and you were the sunshine heading my front line,
I was alone, you were just around the corner from me.
