City and Colour is the recording alias for Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green, who is also the guitarist and vocalist of the St. Catharines, Ontario-based post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. He plays melodic acoustic/folk music, and is often accompanied by a rotating number of Canadian indie rock musicians, such as Daniel Romano and Spencer Burton of Attack in Black. The name City and Colour comes from his own name: Dallas, a city, and Green, a colour.

Sorrowing Man By: City and Colour Tabbed by: Ryan Clavir Email: [email protected] Not sure if D12 is an accurate label for the chord as I could not identify the chord name (Dadd2add4/A?) but this is how Dallas Green plays it exactly.

Em Sorrowing man D12 Look how warn you've become Em D12 You once were lord of the barren sea Em There's blood on our hands D12 In this perfect madness Em D12 We're living on borrowed time

Chorus:
EmG D12 AsusC Oh how you have lost your way, EmG D12 AsusC Oh how you have lost your way
The variation on the C chord on the studio track is just a pull off on the 1st fret, acoustically, Dallas Green tends to pull off on the A string as well.
Verse 2:
Em There's no sympathy D12 cause we don't know the cure EM Cause what you've got D12 it runs too pure Em But you've lived and breathed D12 More than any man I know Em But you're not done D12 Oh at least I hope
Chorus:
EmG D12 AsusC Oh how you have lost your way, EmG D12 AsusC Oh how you have lost your way EmG D12 AsusC In this life we have made together EmG D12 AsusC Oh how you have lost your way, EmG D12 AsusC Oh how you have lost your way EmG D12 AsusC Oh how you have lost your way,
