Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
The hammer on's are on the G's to D's and D's to Em's and then C's to G's and G's to D's. If that makes sense. In the intro, start strumming the G chord when he says "two, two, three" on the 2nd "two". Strum down, up, down, up and then go into the intro.
G One two three, two two three
Intro: GDEmCGD x2
GDEm Is gravity the same for you?
CGD Or have you fallen deeply too?
GDEm Into the light of a dream
CGD Like unison falling into harmony
GD The only thing between us
Em Is a breath of air
CG A river of fear
D A ship we can't steer
GD A curtain of rain
Em A layer of skin
CG A determined stare
D A dare
C-G-C-G-Em-G-D C-G-C-G-Em-G-D
GD Sweep across the floor
Em Like the wind through the islands
CG Step once, turn twice D And move like the current
GD I will try to know you
Em Though you defy my grasp
CG Your beauty is static
D But steady and fast
GD Spin once and turn twice
Em And fall in with the band CGD In unison falling into harmony
