Song for Sophie
capo 4 or 3

This is beautiful song by Aura Dione. I think the usual version is 
played by to guitars, so that the fingerpicking and the chords 
overlap eachother. But i tried to make another version with only 
one guitar, and i think i work very well. The capo can be on 3 or 4, 
both sounds good. In the first part of the verses there is some 
pretty simple fingerpicking. I will put the tab for it in the bottom, 
to make it more uncluttered. The fingerpicking is played over again 4 
times in every verse.

Fingerpicking (intro)

Fingerpicking
This is a song for a girl called Sophie
Fingerpicking
used to write her name on my arm.
Fingerpicking                 
Time has made us strangers
Fingerpicking
and I don't know her anymore.
      C                 D                     
But I really hope she's made it
     C                D
that someone took her home.
        C               D
She was lost but wasn't missing
          C              D
she would always walk alone.

                    
                      G  D            Cadd9    D   
She was always like a feather, in the air
                        G     D        Cadd9   
I never knew if she was flying or falling.
        D             G    D          Cadd9    D
she was always like a feather, in my life.
G            D
I hope she flies, 
Cadd9        D
I hope she flies,
G            D
I hope she flies,
Cadd9       D
I hope she flies.

Fingerpicking
Because of her, I looks things that last:
Fingerpicking
I have a chain, where's your arm?
Fingerpicking      
A promise can be broken,
Fingerpicking
I won't hunt you anymore  no, no, no 
      C                 D
But I really hope she's made it
     C                D
that someone took her home.
        C               D
She was lost but wasn't missing
          C             D
she would always walk alone.

                       G    D         Cadd9     D
She was always like a feather, in the air
                        G    D      Cadd9  
I never knew if she was flying or falling
        D              G    D        Cadd9
she was always like a feather, in my life.
G           D
I hope she flies ..
Cadd9           D
She.. La-la-la-la-la-la-la.

G          D
I hope she flies. (x4)
Cadd9           D
She.. La-la-la-la-la-la-la. (x4)
G               D
I hope she flies.

                      Am              D 
She was always like a feather, in the air
                         Am        D         
I never knew if she was flying or falling
                     Cadd9   C       Am    D           
she was always like a feather, in my life.
D          Em7    Cadd9     D   
I hope she flies. (x5)
Am      D               G
She.. La-la-la-la-la-la-la.
