Great indie band with lots of catchy tunes! You should def check them out!

2014

Tuning: Standard

Capo 4 

Chords used:
E A B <- actual chord sounds

C F G (on capo 4)


Hard to play without an electric guitar/cutaway as the into is quite high up on the frets.

For strumming pattern listen to the song - its a distinct pattern but I don't know 
what the strumming technique is called :<



Intro/Lick Part 1 X4 <- PART NOT RELATIVE TO CAPO - 12 fret is actually 12 fret
-----------------

e|----(12)-12-------------(12)-12------------(5)-5---4------(7)-7------------|
B|-----12------12----------12------12---------5----7---7-----7-----9-9-------|
G|-----13--------13--------13--------13-------6--------------8---------------|
D|-----14----------14------14----------14-----7--------------9---------------|

Verse:
-----
Follow the chord shapes according to capo 4 if you just wanna sing along with lyrics
- you really have to learn the timing for the lyrics as the phrasing is quite unique

Darling you know I love you, I love you,

--We spent the night out at Long Boat Quay
F              G
It drained the confidence out of me,
C              C             F  
Those little shoals wait to ensnare,
F           G                  C
Oh sailor, you had better beware.

C                                  F
The steep waves breaking the only sound
F           G                   C
Reminding me that we're not aground
C                             F
You know that I will never forget
F                  G
Those days we spent achored at
C                C
Long boat pass, long boat pass,
F                  G
Let me through is all I ask.
