The Dear Hunter is an American progressive rock band originating in Providence, Rhode Island. It began as a side project of Casey Crescenzo when he was a member of The Receiving End of Sirens, before becoming his main band in 2006. The band's sound features a wide variety of instruments and styles.
Most of the band's albums, starting with their 2006 debut album Act I: The Lake South, the River North, are concept albums and a part of a common storyline, planned to conclude with a sixth album.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Another amazing Dear Hunter song. Most of the song is not played on guitar so you get some liberty as far as your interpretation. If any chords are wrong, please comment or e- mail me.
[Piano Intro] CG
CG Salt in the sky in the sweet summer air while mammoths depart CG Abandon dispair with thirsty affairs of the heart AmF But the chances of escaping my heart are inadequate, and AmF when all is said and done I'm left with my history
CGFGAmDmFG Goodbye, my eyes shed heavy tears. One for every CGEmAmFGC soul still sitting on the fence between pain and arrogance CG Ebb to the left flow to the right. The exit's unflawed C The boys on the train G The almighty tongue with prose spilled in vain
CGFGAmDmFG Goodbye, my eyes shed heavy tears. One for every CGEmAmFG soul still sitting on the fence between pain and arrogance CFDmGEmAmFG We fall beneath the sea of dreams and fail to breathe until we resurface CFDmGEmAmFAb We fall beneath the sea of dreams and fail to breathe until we awaken again
DmGDmG Through all of this I've felt just the same DmGC The flame is gone the fire remains
[String Interlude] Here are the chords. The strings have a lot of passing notes here so each chord will be a little weird at times. Several measures per chord.
