this song uses what i think is a pretty unusual tuning ( E A D G B D ) and on the ep
recording there’s a capo on the 5th fret . i’m not good enough to tab this
precisely , but i figured out the chords and although i’m not gonna tab it , the
melody on the higher strings is pretty easy to figure out from there . someone else
can take it from here .
not sure this is what the chord’s called but this is how you play it :
D6/F#
D – – – 0 – – – |
B – – – 0 – – – |
G – – – 2 – – – |
D – – – 0 – – – |
A – – – 0 – – – |
E – – – 2 – – – |
intro
| G C/G | G C/G | D6/F# | | Am | D6/F# | Am | D6/F#
verse
G C/G G
been so many days of longing now
Em D6/F#
why should it ever be this far
Am
where i get frightened
G D6/F# G C/G D6/F#
i could never gather birds enough to carry ’round your heart
G C/G G
but i see traces of your thoughts out here
Em D6/F#
i see a sight; i hear a sound
Am G D6/F#
i only comfort in the brittleness of days when
G C/G D6/F#
i can hold what i just found
chorus
C G D6/F# Em
it’s in the untired eyes of the laughing child
C G D6/F#
and the dirtiest sweater he owns
C G
early , sun – warmed pine
D6/F# Em
and all those life – like sins
C G D6/F#
that will pull out the memories to show
i’m not leavin’ alone
G C/G G C/G
i’m not leavin’ alone
back to the intro , repeat for the next verse and chorus , and that’s it .
