------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE OLD WAYS - Loreena McKennitt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: heatherly_yours Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard EADGBE
Intro chords: Em Em/Bm/C/Am
EmBmCAm The thundering sea is calling me home, home to you. EmBmCAm The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you.
EmBmC On a dark new year's night on the west coast of Clare Am I heard your voice singing. EmBmC Your eyes danced the song, your hands played the tune. Am T'was a vision before me.
EmBmC We left the music behind and the dance carried on Am as we stole away to the seashore EmBmC and smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair Am and with sadness you paused.
EmBm Suddenly, I knew that you'd have to go. CAm Your world was not mine, your eyes told me so. EmBm Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time CAm and I wondered why.
EmBmC As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea, Am a vision came o'er me, EmBmC of thundering hooves and beating wings Am in the clouds above.
EmBm Turning to go, heard you call out my name. CAm like a bird in a cage, spreading its wings to fly. EmBm "The old ways are lost", you sang as you flew CAm and I wondered why.
EmBmCAm The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you. EmBmCAm The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you. (x3)
In the original recording, after the first chorus, the verses and choruses are picked rather than strummed - you can play them as below. They're not exactly the same, (these are highly simplified) but it sounds great anyway and will give you an idea of how to add variations. The fill can be anything you like within the chord pattern. I've just used these as examples.
