Come Away to the Water
Glen Hansard
Rhythm and Repose

Glen Hansard wrote this song for The Hunger Games movie.
He plays baritone ukulele in this song to the tuning of D-G-B-D.
But lucky for guitarists, just tune your high E string to a D and
play only the four highest strings. It sounds great on a classical
guitar if you have one because the nylon strings give it a ukulele
sound. Hope you enjoy!
 
This is how the chords are played:
  Em    C     Bm    Am    Cmaj7 Esus  E
D|2-----2-----4-----2-----5-----2-----2|
G|0-----0-----4-----2-----5-----2-----1|
B|0-----1-----3-----1-----0-----0-----0|
D|2-----0-----0-----0-----5-----2-----2|

This is the picking pattern: example Em
|-------2-------2-------2---------|
|---0-------0-------0-------0---0-| :play last 0 only on chord change
|-----0-------0-------0-------0---|  otherwise stick to pattern
|-2-------2-------2-------2-------|

This is how to play the hammer-on:
|-------2-------2-------2-------2-|
|-----------0-------0-------0-----|
|-----0-------0-------0-------0---|
|-0h2-----2-------2-------2-------|

You may have to listen to the song to get the rhythm.
