hi! this is a great song from the new album “backspacer” and i wanted to make an
acoustic version of it . it sounds ok to me , not perfect , but good enough . : – D play
along with the song to figure out the timing .
if you have any corrections , please let me know!
enjoy!
verse : it’s the same as the intro and it’s kind of hard to write down the correct
timing so you’ll have to listen to the song to figure it out .
Bm D Bm D
understand she’s a force of nature
Bm D Bm D
contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Bm D Bm D A
exorcising her will to lose control
G
she lets go
a common man , he don’t stand a chance , no
wonderland pulling alice in the hole
no way to save someone who won’t take the rope
and just let’s go
chorus :
D A
one man stands the edge of the ocean
Bm G
a beacon on dry land
D A
eyes upon the horizon
G A Bm A Bm ( D Bm ) 4x
in the dark before the dawn
verse :
hurricane has the trade winds blowing
a gale force shaking windows in the storm
shipwreck on the rock that he calls home
with one light on
chorus
D A
somewhere there’s a siren singing
Bm G
a song only he hears
D A
all the strength that you might think
G A Bm D
would disappear , . . resolving
D A
one man stands alone , awaiting
Bm G
for her to come home
D A
eyes upon the horizon
G A Bm A G A Bm D A
in dark before the darkness meets the dawn .
bridge :
A Bm 2
x A
makes me ache , . . . makes me shake , . . .
G A Bm A G A Bm A F#
is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?
verse :
last i saw , he was out there waiting
a silhouette in the black light , full moon glow
in the sand there he stands upon the shore
forevermore
chorus
D A
somewhere there’s a siren singing
Bm G
a song only he hears
D A
all the strength that you might think
G A Bm A
would disappear , resolving
D A
one man stands along , awaiting
Bm G
for her to come home
D A
eyes are closed , . . you cannot know
G A Bm A
but his heart don’t seem to
D A Bm G
roam .
outro : play D A Bm G a few times and end with
G A Bm A G A Bm A Bm
