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!
I'm taking this off of a live performance on a youtube video.
The rhythm for the most part is simple but the F chord switches to 7/8 so just watch for that.
The link for the youtube video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP20qzXfkyw&feature=related
Am C G F Am
Do you remember how you wore that dress?
Am C G F Am
It slipped my sight beneath the eyelid
Am C G F Am
Do you remember what you said to me?
Am C G F Am
What cause has given you the right to stray?
Am C G F Am
And then you're living to muster a taste
Am C G F Am
The clocks are ticking fast with every breath
Chorus:
Dm Am
Since we've been wrong, I've been poured away
Dm Am
Since we've been wrong, you will never ever know me
Dm
What took you so long?
Am
I'm not sure of the way
Em
But I hold it as
Just one more time
you still amass
Am C G F Am
The next verse follows the same chord stucture like the first verse:
One day your rain will come wash away
The earth that held us was no island
I have become unbroke inside this skin
I'll find a way out through those eyelids
And all the days become of cast away
I seem to think I don't belong here
Chorus
The end of the chorus goes to the bridge which is Am, Em, F
Am Em
On top along here
F
I should have stayed
Am Em
What folds inside
F
Becomes empty
Am Em
The walls between us
F
Won't ever break
Am Em
Should seal it shut
F
It grows empty
Then the chorus until the end. The last chord is Am.
Out of laziness I didn't tab the second verse but you should get the idea of it
just by listening to the first verse and then place the chords where you hear it
in the song.
