G. Giambrone (popllama@u.washington.edu) This song requires a drop D tuning. So instead of the standard EBGDAE tuning, you will have to drop the low E to a D, thus EBGDAD. The easiest way to do this is to pluck the low E string and the D string at the same time and lower the pitch of the low E until it is a D. And pray that you don't have a tremelo which will screw that up. :) This song's chord progression may seem difficult at first, but realize that most of the changes require the movement of only one finger. Opening Riff: D----0h2p0--------| h=hammer on A-0h2-----2p0-----| p=pull off D------------2----|p0 ^=bend D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D G6 Em7 We Could Drown Our selves In A Flood Of Sunshine C, C/D, C, Cmaj7, C, D, Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D G6 Em7 We Could Walk All Night, Still I'd See Sunshine C, C/D, C, Cmaj7, C, D, Dsus4 Csus2 A Its The Calling Of Your Name Csus2 A All sounds combine into the Same C C/D, C, Cmaj7, C, D, Dsus4 And I hear you When its overcast I'm not there will you still (love me) When the clouds have passed and I return will you still (love me) Its the calling of your voice Your eyes are crying and your lips are moist To where are all my castles and cathedrals (to ruin) They crumbled just like sand in front of us Like ripples in the water Your hands reached out to me And all the things they taught us Floated out to sea.
