Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
= x20200
Bmin6 = x20100 With these two he moves quickly from the E7sus4 to the Bmin6, and plays
the g string then the b string in each case.
/ = x20230
This song has a lot of twiddly bits on the high e and b strings, revolving around the
3rd and 5th fret I think. These are just the basic chords, but if you play around with
adding stuff on the bottom two strings then I think this is pretty close so far.
When you just tell them what I cannot say
when you just shine upon the ghosts along my way
I drop the game of throwing knives alone
there must be marks on every tree
from the past to our home
Only the mayfly used to tell me so
now here is august, drop your weight, just let go
now midnight sun takes turns with northern lights
will I ever have to feel what those blades were about?
(here he goes into the more traditional, alternating bass note fingerpicking style)
In that sound of sighing, that empty howl
and all the everloving bends in the line of your tries
some ends forgotten and some others believed
whatever happened to the boy is now a tale for the seas
when you know youre already young
like the grass wither to become
again and free,
its all well ever be
Here he does a lick that he hums over which is based around a G chord, and the 3rd frets
on the B and high E strings
And I think thats it! Just repeat the verse/chorus bits until the last verse, where he
slows back down into the more flamenco style.
I dont remember where i learned to dive
but I am humble for the rocks when I try
and somehow I am lowered onto the waves
now with you I feel the sun and the salt on my face
In that sound of sighing, that empty howl
and all the everloving bends in the line of your tries
some ends forgotten and some others believed
whatever happened to the boy is now a tale for the seas
when you know youre already young
like the grass wither to become
again and free,
its all well ever be
Slower Verse
The tired motion of the rusty bell
just humming, visitor I quit, go to hell
Ive been the tower but now walk along
there must be marks on every page
from the past to these songs.
In that sound of sighing, that empty howl
and all the everloving bends in the line of your tries
some ends forgotten and some others believed
whatever happened to the boy is now a tale for the seas
when you know youre already young
like the grass wither to become
again and free,
End on = x02200
its all well ever be
