Just a warning, this is my first tab so it might be really wrong but I just listened to
the record a bunch and this is what I heard. Listen to the song for the strumming
patterns for the exact rhythms and stuff.
Opening riff the guitar plays in the intro and the verses (x8)
e|----------------------------------------| Why did you ever leave today?
B|----------------------------------------| No you've been miles away
G|----------------------------------------|
D|-1-1-1---0----------0-------------------|
A|-------------3---3-----3-1--------------|
E|------------------------------3---------|
A couple bars into the verse, he switches to this
(x2)
e|---------------------------------------| You took chance leaving after stands,
B|---------------------------------------| You can blame it your circumstances
G|---------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------|
A|--------1-----1--3--1--3--1------------|
E|-1-1-1-----1---------------------------|
Then goes back into the opening bit (x4)
e|------------------------------------------| You set up on a simple life,
B|------------------------------------------| Meant to be home on be forgot
G|------------------------------------------|
D|-1-1-1---0----------0---------------------|
A|-------------3---3-----3-1----------------|
E|------------------------------3-----------|
e|--------------------------------------------------| Now you see that,
B|-4-4----6-6----11-13-11-11-13-11----4-4---6-6-----| All is not as it seemed
G|-5-5----7-7----12-12-12-12-12-12----5-5---7-7-----| You fade, you can't believe
D|-6-6----8-8----13-13-13-13-13-13----6-6---8-8-----|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------|
Then right back into opening riff (x4)
e|----------------------------------------| Then I glimpse you as you lied in here,
B|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|
D|-1-1-1---0----------0-------------------|
A|-------------3---3-----3-1--------------|
E|------------------------------3---------|
(x2)
e|---------------------------------------| Cautiously begun moving near,
B|---------------------------------------| And I can't be sure if you can hear me
G|---------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------|
A|--------1-----1--3--1--3--1------------|
E|-1-1-1-----1---------------------------|
(x4)
e|---------------------------------------| Now you can rest your tiny feet,
B|---------------------------------------| Took a way and rest your tired wings
G|---------------------------------------|
D|-1-1-1---0----------0------------------|
A|-------------3---3-----3-1-------------|
E|-------------------------------3-------|
e|--------------------------------------------------| No you dream,
B|-4-4----6-6----11-13-11-11-13-11----4-4---6-6-----| oh perfectly dreams,
G|-5-5----7-7----12-12-12-12-12-12----5-5---7-7-----| You love me to believe
D|-6-6----8-8----13-13-13-13-13-13----6-6---8-8-----|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------|
This part is strummed while picking out the extra top notes (so 14 on b string, 8 on b
string and, 3 on the b string are plucked with the chord.) He changes up the order of the
chords also, towards the end which you can hear in the record.
(x4)
e|-----------------------------------| Seeking shelter from the wind,
B|-11-13-11---6-8-6---4-3-4---6-8-6--| It blows with strength that has no end,
G|-12-12-12---7-7-7---5-5-5---7-7-7--| So small you seem within my hand,
D|-13-13-13---8-8-8---6-6-6---8-8-8--| You gather strength to leave again
A|-----------------------------------| ooh
E|-----------------------------------|
This is kind of just free strumming of the chords and the last chord, the extra note
sounds like its being played be another guitar (one plays 8-7-6/8 while another plays 8-7-9.)
(x1)
e|------------------------------------------------------| The storm is strong,
B|-4-4-4-----6-6-6----11-13-11--------4----6*-----------| But you carried on,
G|-5-5-5-----7-7-7----12-12-12--(x2)---5->-7------------| And now it's gone
D|-6-6-6-----8-8-8----13-13-13--------6----8------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
*sometime the extra notes are added, sometimes they aren't.
(x4)
e|---------------------------------------| Seeking shelter from the wind,
B|-11-11*-11---6-6*-6---4-4*-4---6-6*-6--| It blows with strength that has no end
G|-12-12--12---7-7-7----5-5-5---7-7-7----| So small you seem within my hand,
D|-13-13--13---8-8-8----6-6-6---8-8-8----| You gather strength to leave again
A|---------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------|
ends with lots of different picking of this chord
(x4)
e|---------------------------------------| oooooohhh
B|-11-11-13-11----11-11-13--11-----------|
G|-12-------------12---------------------|
D|-13-------------13---------------------|
A|---------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------|
