    Come By Storm

  • Artist:

    Laura Gibson

  • Album:

    If You Come To Greet Me

Tabbed by: Dan Glover (dan-the-man278)


Tuning: EADGBe

A beautiful song off a beautiful, yet woefully underrated album. Surprisingly 
simple to play- I am not going to tab out the whole song, but here is the basic 

verse riff. I'm sure we can all work out the tiny run between Dm and F in the 
chorus (it's on the A string: 5-7-8), and that is about it!


Basic verse pattern (feel free to improvise, add and remove notes etc):
  F                                     Dm
e | -------------------------------- |  | --------------------------- | 
B | -------------------------------o |  | o-----6-----6-----6----6--o | 
G | -----10------10-----10-----10--- |  | --------------------------- |  ETC.....
D | ---10------10-----10-----10----- |  | -----7-----7-----7----7---- | 
A | -8--------------8--------------o |  | o--5-----------5----------o | 
E | --------8--------------8-------- |  | ---------5----------5------ | 


Chord shapes:
F :  8-8-10-10-10-x
Dm : 5-5-7-7-6-x
C :  x-3-5-5-5-x



Intro
-----
F

F
When my eyes survey the tree line
Dm
I'll recall a voice
           C (hold)                   F
And how I took great care with words


Verse
-----
F
All that was a picture was a poem was a poem
Dm
Words were trees of brown of gold
F                                     Dm
You were a place I had come to know


Chorus
------
C                 Dm    F
If the dark falls early
           C
Would you come in the night
           Dm            F
Would you come with the morning
C                Dm       F       C
Come by fire or come by storm


Verse 2
-------
F
When my days turn to gold turn to gold
     Dm
And pull to the sky, to the sky
F
I'll recall the time I was more alive
        Dm
When I lose myself to words
       F
Did I die in your arms
               Dm
Or did I die alone?


Chorus
------
When the dark fell on me
Did you come in the night
Did you come with the morning
Come by fire or come by storm


(Instrumental: same as verse, play with hammer-ons etc, end on F )
