Scott Matthews

Drifter

by Scott Matthews
Scott Matthews

Biography:

Scott Matthews (born 15 January 1976) is a singer-songwriter from Wolverhampton, England. His first album Passing Stranger was released in 2006.

At seven years old Matthews aquired his first guitar, a junior-sized 'Kapok' acoustic (which he still has), although things didn’t quite go to plan. It became neglected very early on as the box it came in was shaped like a coffin and therefore scared the hell out of him every time he went near it! For a brief period he moved on to drums

This is my first tab, apologies in advance for any mistakes.

Scott doesn't really play many regular chords so a lot of these are just shapes with an approximate chord
name. The strumming pattern varies slightly so I haven't included one but you get used to the pattern and
it's relatively straight forward until the end. There are various little flourishes during chords,
which I haven't tabbed, but you can easily pick them up by listening to the song.

Tuning - DADGBD

Capo - Fret 2, all chords and frets are relative to the capo

[Intro]

D7sus2 D A7sus4/D Bb7/D x 2

D7sus2
I can hardly wait another night
D5 D A7sus4/E Bb7/D
Another day for you to arrive
D7sus2
I can hardly face another mile
D5
Knowing all the while you're out of sight


[Bridge]

G9
What if it's now or never?
Em9 D5
Will you leave me in the snow to find my way?
G9
It's late December
Em9 D5 D A7sus4/E Bb7/D
And the road appears to be the same both ways


[Verse]

D7sus2
I've been up for days with not an ounce
D5 D A7sus4/E Bb7/D
Of tireness to weigh my spirits down
D7sus2
A long way past the sign still flashing
D5
'One mile to dine', no turning 'round


[Chorus]

Bm/D
Oh for this drifter
Dm7
To be faced with you
D5 D7 G7/D
Embraced by wonder and light
Bm/D
Oh for that moment
Dm7
To be touched by you
D5 D7 G7/D
Your hands so graceful in flight
Em9
Oh for that moment
A11/D D5 D A7sus4/E Bb7/D
To be safe forever


[Verse]

D7sus2
You're easier to see
D5 D A7sus4/E Bb7/D
When my eyes try to sleep every night
D7sus2
But you're harder to see
D5
With the water deep and the sky white


[Bridge]

G9
What if it's now or never?
Em9 D5
Would you meet me by the river in time?
G9
When I draw my last breath
Em9
Will you cradle me?


[Chorus]

Bm/D
Oh for this drifter
Dm7
To be faced with you
D5 D7 G7/D
Embraced by wonder and light
Bm/D
Oh for that moment
Dm7
To be touched by you
D5 D7 G7/D
Your hands so graceful in flight
Em9
Oh for that moment
A11/D
To be safe forever
