I'm actually not sure about the G in the verse, it sounds like it might be a G7 as well. If anyone has a good reason for one or the other, please let me know :) these are the chords without capo. For an easier version in A minor (capo 3) see below. - - - - - - - - Title: To the sea Artist: Katzenjammer Album: Le Pop Tuning: eagdbe (standard) Capo: 0 (for easier version with capo 3 see below) - - - - - - - - INTRO C5 (repeat) VERSE C5 The wind is a-whipping through the open door speaking of the sea and the rolling waves Eb5 Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now or struggling on the surface with a cry for help F5 Wish I could forget and let the years go by G5 C5 wish I could escape from my dreams of you C5 Twenty years ago was a howling storm like the voice of a god from the great beyond Eb5 I was standing on the shore as the sky grew dark with a hand on a bible and a hand on my heart F5 Wish I could forget and let the years go by G5 C5 wish I could escape from my dreams of you CHORUS Eb5 Bb5 F5 C5 Because all I have left is the voice of the wind Ab5 Bb5 C5 blowing through the doors of our house! VERSE C5 The sun was drying up the rain in our sky Shining gold in our sails and our hearts standing by Eb5 Remember what they're singing on their way to the sea: "Goodbye fare thee well, goodbye for me" F5 Wish I could forget and let the years go by G5 C5 Wish I could escape from my dreams of you C5 Empty were the coffins and the house where we lived as the grave that I dug by our place on the beach Eb5 How I wish the water could be poured out of the sea so I can go and get you back ashore with me F5 Wish I could forget and let the years go by G5 C5 Wish I could escape from my dreams of you CHORUS (3 times) Eb5 Bb5 F5 C5 Because all I have left is the voice of the wind Ab5 Bb5 C5 blowing through the doors of our house!
