This is my crack at the concluding tune for Transistor. I loved this game and loved the soundtrack, this song especially. I feel I've got the base chords all down, though I'm sure there's small things I missed. By my ear it sounds good on its own and along with the record. I went back and forth on whether the F in the main progression sounds better as an F or F5. The vocal line tends to land on the 2nd (G) or 6th (D) of the chord, so I'm inclined to think its an F5 on the record, but playing a normal Fmajor sounded fine too. NOTE: I found these chords on a ukulele, so your mileage on guitar may vary slightly. -- J. Paper Boats- Darren Korb (2014) Intro/Main progression: Dm | F | C | A | -Verse (same progression)- Dm F Seconds march into the past C A Moments pass, just like that, they're gone Dm F The river always finds the sea C A So helplessly, like you find me... (we are) -Pre-chorus (same progression)- (A) Dm F (We are) Paper boats floating on a stream C A and it would seem, we'll never be apart... -Chorus- Bb A F I will al-ways find you.... like its written in the stars... Bb E Am A(major) You can run but you can't hide... try.... Verse (main progression) Like the moon that makes the tides That silent guide, it's calling from inside Pull me here and push me there It's everywhere, hanging in the air... Pre-chorus (main progression) (We are) Magnets pulling from different poles With no control, we'll never be apart... Chorus (Chorus progression) I will al-ways find you.... like its written in the stars... You can run but you can't hide... try.... -Bridge- (By my ear this is mostly just inversions on a DM7, but I found playing these chords replicated the effect well enough.) D DM7 | DM7add9 | D DM7 DM7add9 I will always.... always find you Chorus (Chorus Progression) I will al-ways find you.... like its written in the stars... We can run but we can't hide... try....
