[Synthesizer Intro] 00:11 - 00:44
The main synth plays basically these notes, listen to the song to get the rhythm right. It's easiest to
fingerpick with thumb and index finger.
There's also a chromatically ascending (i.e. going through every fret) synthesizer around 00:29 playing
fast, steady 8th notes going from 5th to 13th fret on e-string, just a little detail.

(Diese kleine unheimliche Insel hat mich zu einer Waffe gemacht)
(Wir glauben beide—)
(Cette petite île étrange a fait de moi une arme)
(Nous croyons tous les deux que nous pouvons l'utiliser pour changer l'élan de cette guerre)
(Esta pequeña isla misteriosa me ha convertido en un arma)
(Ambos creemos que podemos usarla para cambiar el impulso de esta guerra)
[Bandito Interlude] 00:44 - 01:33
Right before the voice says "Welcome back to Trench", there is a sustained synth or vocals playing something
like this:
Fm Db Fm...
e|-------------------|-------------------------------|----------------...
B|-------------------|-------------------------------|----------------...
G|-------------------|-------------------------------|----------------...
D|--4----7p6-7p6-7p6-|-------------------------------|----------------...
A|-------------------|--5----------------------------|----------------...
E|-------------------|-------------------------------|----------------...
(Welcome back to Trench) (Beat comes in)
After that it's mostly just the main synth with sustained keys for the chords.
The ascending synth is also to be heard right when he sings "sahlo folina" for the first time.
Db Fm
Welcome back to Trench
Welcome back to Trench
Db Eb
I created this world
Bbm Cm
to feel some control
Db Eb
Destroy it if I want
Bbm
So I sing,
Fm
"sahlo folina"
"Sahlo folina"
(Wait, what? Wait, what?)
(Wait, what? Wait, what?)
[Main Song Intro] 01:33 - 01:42
There is a high synth playing mostly one note in a rhythm you should listen to yourself to get right, and a
low bass riff (bars are half as long to make the rhythm easier to see):
Fm

[Verse 1] 01:42 - 02:01
Fm
Earned my stripes, three hundred tracks in my Adidas track jacket
Fm
Bless your ear holes while you react, acting
Fm
Gobsmacked, don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate
Fm
I feel like I was just here, same twitchin' in my eyes
Fm
Don't sleep on a boy who can't fall asleep twice in the same night
Fm
And won't hesitate to maybe overcompensate
[Chorus] 02:01 - 02:22
Feel free to swap Bbm with Fm and Cm with Ab and vice versa as I'm not sure about these chords, but they
generally fit.
Db Eb Bbm Cm Db
I said I fly by the dangerous bend symbol (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
Eb Fm Ab
Mm, don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate
Db Eb Bbm Cm Db
And then by the time I catch in my peripheral (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
Eb Fm
Mm, don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate
[Verse 2] 02:22 - 02:42
Fm
Where from? I was born right here, just now
Fm
Originated right in front of your eyes
Fm
If you can't see, I Am Clancy, prodigal son
Fm
Done running, come up with Josh Dun, wanted dead or alive
Fm
So now you pick who you serve, you bow to the masses
Fm
Get kicked to the curb for passin' the classes
Fm
Half empty, half full, save half of your taxes
Fm
Then overtake your former self
[Chorus] 02:42 - 03:02
Db Eb Bbm Cm Db
I said I fly by the dangerous bend symbol (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
Eb Fm Ab
Mm, don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate
Db Eb Bbm Cm Db
And then by the time I catch in my peripheral (Wait, what? Wait, what?)
Eb Fm
Mm, don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate
[Bridge] 03:02 - 03:22
He sings a descending chromatic melody which you could accentuate while playing Fm. The notes would be:
Fm
e|------------------|------------------|----------------------------------------|
B|---7-----6--------|---6-----5--------|----5---4-------------------------------|
G|------------------|------------------|----------------2--2---2----------------|
D|------------------|------------------|-----------------------------5--5----5--|
A|------------------|------------------|----------------------------------------|
E|------------------|------------------|----------------------------------------|
"Days feel..." "Lon- ger..." "Way too... for my soul, co- ra- zón" (Repeat last line)
Fm
Days feel like a perfect length
Fm
I don't need them any longer, but for goodness' sake
Fm
Do the years seem way too short for my soul, corazón
Fm
Way too short for my soul, corazón
Fm
The days feel like a perfect length
Fm
I don't need them any longer, but for goodness' sake
Fm
Do the years seem way too short for my soul, corazón
Fm
Way too short for my soul, corazón
[Refrain] 03:22 - 03:32
