“Ship Go Down” - David Dunn (acoustic) tabbed by J.R. Bradford
Tuning: Standard | Capo: 4th fret <------- IMPORTANT!!!
Important Note: The "x's" in the picking pattern for the intro are where David strums the muted A string to keep tempo, so every "x" is just a down beat on the muted A string (optional)
Another Important Note: I've also put the chords above the intro if you'd rather play those than pick through the intro. The chords and the picking pattern are interchangeable throughout each and every verse in this song, as well as any interlude/instrumental and the ending.
One More Important Note: The D/F# in the bridge is a quickly-played transition chord, and David plays it a little differently, so I've charted the chord below.
D/F# e |---|---|-4-| B |---|---|-3-| 1 = Index Finger G |---|---|---| x = Rest Index Finger on A String to Mute D |---|---|---| 3 = Ring Finger A |---|-x-|---| 4 = Pinky Finger E |---|-1-|---|
Enough talk! Let's get playing! Enjoy!

[Verse 1]
Cadd9G5Em7D/ACadd9G5Em7D/A It's not about a sinner, it's not about a saint Cadd9G5Em7D/ACadd9G5Em7D/A It's not about forgiveness, it's about the way that things are

Cadd9G5Em7D/ACadd9G5Em7D/A It's not about hurt feelings, it's not about the heart Cadd9G5Em7D/ACadd9G5Em7D/A It's not about misgivings, it's about the way things are
[Chorus]
Cadd9G5Em7D/A It's the weapon that you're holdin’ that you can't put down Cadd9G5Em7D/A It’s you taking out you're vengeance, but it’s coming around Cadd9G5Em7D/A And it’s pointed back at you, you know you're blocking your view Cadd9G5Em7D/A And I can't, ‘cause I won’t, no, I won’t let this ship go down

Cadd9G5Em7D/ACadd9G5Em7D/A It's not about resentment, it's not about abuse Cadd9G5Em7D/ACadd9G5Em7D/A It's not about confession, it’s about the thing that’s killing you
[Chorus]
Cadd9G5Em7D/A It's the weapon that you're holdin’ that you can't put down Cadd9G5Em7D/A It’s you taking out you're vengeance, but it’s coming around Cadd9G5Em7D/A And it’s pointed back at you, you know you're blocking your view Cadd9G5Em7D/A And I can't, ‘cause I won’t, no, I won’t let this ship go down

[Chorus]
Cadd9G5Em7D/A It's the weapon that you're holdin’ that you can't put down Cadd9G5Em7D/A It’s you taking out you're vengeance, but it’s coming around Cadd9G5Em7D/A And it’s pointed back at you, you know you're blocking your view Cadd9G5Em7D/A And I can't, ‘cause I won’t, no, I won’t let this ship go down
