song : the watcher
written & performed : the tea party
album : seven circles ( 2004 )
tabbed by : taimur s .

hi all ,

this is a fantastic song that i can’t believe i had not heard until 2011 . it’s a shame
for the tea party who , while not exactly my cup of tea musically , are a very talented band .

i had a look around to see if anyone had tabbed this and couldn’t find anything so i’ve
put down the chords here for now , while i work out the lead guitar bits . the tea party
often use unconventional tuning so feel free to refine the standard tuning
progression i’ve used here .

intro :
F , Dm , A#

F Dm
i’m the unseen
A# F
i’m disbelief . . . i’m undone

F Dm
you are a dream
A# F
you are desire . . . you’re the one

Dm A#
if you show me what i’m missing
Dm A#
if you tell me i would listen to you
Dm A#
guide me through the night

A# F ( root note here seems to change , not sure )
and please . . . watch over me
A# F ( root note changes here too )
and please . . . watch over me
A# Dm
and please . . . watch over me
C F
because i can’t carry on . . . without you

F Dm
these are the days
A# F
when everything’s changed . . . look around
F Dm
dancing i fall
A# F
i fall through these cracks that surround

Dm A#
if you show me what i’m missing
Dm A#
if you tell me i would listen to you
Dm A#
guide me through the night

A# F
and please . . . watch over me
A# F
and please . . . watch over me
A#
and please . . . watch over

D# A#
i’m burning like a fire without end
D# A#
as i’m turning into storm clouds twisting in the wind
D# D#
i surrender everything . . . remember everything

[ solo chords : A# , A# , Dm , Dm ]

A# F
and please . . . watch over me
A# F
and please . . . watch over me
A# F
and please . . . watch over me
A# Dm
now please . . . watch over me
Dm
because i’ve fallen down
C
and i can’t carry on
C F
no i won’t carry on . . . without you

that’s it . i encourage others to improve on this and hopefully i’ll fill in the lead
guitar bits soon .
