Song: Lost Continent
Band: Thrice
Album: The Alchemy Index: Vols. I & II - Fire & Water
Tuning: D Standard
Tabbed: J. Griff (artificial_inside@yahoo.com)
Comments: I was watching this song on Thrice's Myspace Transmissions a
little while ago. I figured I could find a tab for this song, but there
weren't any. So, I wanted to tab the song for myself. Most of this song is
played on a piano. I've never tabbed out a piano song on a guitar before,
so this tab may be rough. This would be my second Thrice tab and fifth one
overall. If there are any corrections let me know. Please rate and comment.

Notes:

To play the verses, you strum in quarter notes. Also, I'm shortening the
Gsus4 to G4 to fit between the other chords. The Em2 is actually an Em. I put
a 2 beside it to avoid confusion between the chords played in the verses and
the chorus.


Intro/Verse:


G1    G    G    Gsus4

G1    G    G    Gsus4

G1


G   G    Gsus4 G1        G         G    Gsus4   G1
Was there a time that we know peace;

G    G   Gsus4  G1        G     G     Gsus4    E
when all the children had a place to sleep


E5    E5    Em2


     E    E5      E5  Em2  G1    
when rhetoric was not e----nough?


G    G    Gsus4

G1    G    G    Gsus4

G1


G   G    Gsus4 G1      G          G  Gsus4   
Was there a time we weren't at war


G1


G    G   Gsus4  G1       G          G      Gsus4   E
When we knew what our hearts and hands were for?


E5    E5    Em2


  E       E5          E5  Em2   G1
I don't believe there e---ver   was.


G    G    Gsus4

G1    G    G    Gsus4


Em   D      C
It's always been a lie,
Em D        C
a  soothing lullaby
E     D       C                G1
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea


G    G    Gsus4

G1    G    G    Gsus4

G1


G   G    Gsus4 G1      G       G     G1
Was there a time we looked around,

G         G      Gsus4   G1      G       G   Gsus4      E 
and do we really even want to know what's going down


E5    E5    Em

E


E5           E5      Em     G1
Well I think no one really does

G    G    Gsus4

G1    G    G    Gsus4


E5   D5     C5
We'd rather close our eyes
E5   D5       C5
sing soothing lullabies
E5    D5      C5               G1
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea


G    G    Gsus4

G1    G    G    Gsus4


E5  D5      C5
The water's rising now
E5  D5      C5
and we will surely drown
E5  D5      C5
if we don't turn around
