Cmaj 332010 and hammer on the B string...this will make all more interesting.

intro: G D Em Cmaj (hammer on and pull off casually. it gives a more similar sound to the song)

G5
Mister pull up a chair
D5                    
I got time for tears
E5                      C5
Tell me all the stories that you never did
G5
Of the salty south
D5                   E5
The Seminoles held out
                      C5
While Geronimo died in a lonely jail

G5
A thousand tides, and
D5
A thousand waves
E5           C5
Takin' it all away

G5        
It'll come back in
D5                 
We'll be gone by then
       E5                   C5
And it's a miracle we ever learned to live


Drain that land
For a better plan
Sugarcane and the civil man
But now the ringin' dead them pines
Planted in that time
We gonna keep on killin' till they get it right

A thousand tides, and
A thousand waves
Takin' it all away

It'll come back in
We'll be gone by then, oh
And it's a miracle we ever learned to live

I remember the wind
As it was settlin'
And every sun goin' down was a picture then
But we look back at 'em framed
They all look the same
There's no sense of time, no sense of pain

A thousand tides, and
A thousand waves
Takin' it all away

And it'll come back in
We'll be gone by then, oh
And it's a miracle we ever learned to give
