He plays a mixture between picking and strumming but he hammers the A-string 2h0 on the G chord and the
D-string on the Cadd9, Am & Dadd9(add4)chords, also just before the tranisition from Am to Dadd9(add4) he
hammers the e 0h3 on the Am chord (I believe anyway, sounds alright to me)
[Verse 1]
G G/F# Cadd9
On a river where you used to build the boats
G G/F# Cadd9
By the harbour wall the place you loved the most
G G/F# Cadd9
I can see you there alone but all you know
Am Dadd9(add4)
I'll be there... soon
G G/F# Cadd9
All your life you worked your fingers to the bone
G G/F# Cadd9
You worked hard for every little thing you owned
G G/F# Cadd9
But you gave away for years as if you'd known
Am Dadd9(add4)
They were call...ing out
Am Dadd9(add4)
Calling out
Am Dadd9(add4)
Calling out
[Chorus]
G
But if you could see me now
G/F# Cadd9
But if you could see me now
G G/F# Cadd9
I hope that I'm making you proud
G G/F# Cadd9
I hope that I'm making you proud
G G/F# Am
I hope that I'm making you proud
Dadd9(add4)
Proud
[Verse 2]
G G/F# Cadd9
Like a ship you built you're long gone from the coast
G G/F# Cadd9
Where you are and where we go we'll never know
G G/F# Cadd9
On a ship you built that's where I'll see you most
Am Dadd9(add4)
With your smile and eyes
Am Dadd9(add4)
With your smile and eyes
Am Dadd9(add4)
With your smile and eyes
[Chorus]
G
But if you could see me now
