Voltaire - This Sea

done in standard . if you want to do it truly as voltaire does , just use the transpose
tool : )

for the A7 and Dm at the end of each line of the verse , just quickly strum each one of
them once . listen to the song for the rhythm . i recommend fingerpicking everything
besides the A7 Dm i mentioned earlier and the chorus .

Dm

Dm Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm
’t’was the worst of times for tinkers like you and me .
Dm Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm
so in search of fortune i took to the sea .

Dm Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm
round my neck , a key you said was to your heart .
Dm Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm
held it desperately as your ship left the dock

Gm A7 Dm
i can’t forget , i won’t forgive this sea
Gm A7 Dm
for the endless hurt it gave to me .
Gm A7 Dm
i want to stab , i want to kill this sea .
A7 Dm A7 Dm
took you away , took you away from me .

Dm

Dm Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm
silks from singapore , a treasure from tripoli for you .
Dm Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm
and from silver bay , ive scars for souvenirs .

Dm Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm
love , your son was born . i wish you could see .
Dm Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm
eyes the same as yours and cries just like me .

Gm A7 Dm
i can’t forget , i won’t forgive this sea
Gm A7 Dm
for the endless hurt it gave to me .
Gm A7 Dm
i want to stab , i want to kill this sea .
A7 Dm A7 Dm
took you away , took you away from me .

Gm A7 Dm Gm A7 Dm Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm
( that is the solo , hum the chorus on top of it )

Dm Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm
years have passed . how many , i don’t know anymore .
( Dm ) Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm
lost adrift at sea , a storm comes . it’s getting cold .

Dm Gm A7 Dm A7 Dm
i stand on the shores , searching a sea of blue
Dm Gm A7 Dm
and forever more , i’ll wait here for you .

Dm
