Fell in love with this song but the tab was nowhere to be found so I gave it a try! (first tab)
***CAPO 6th fret***
I'm pretty sure the fingerpicking goes as follows:
For Am chord For F chord
e --------------------------------- e ----------------------------------|
B ----1--------1--------1--------1- B ----1--------1--------1--------1--|
G --2--------2--------2--------2--- G --2--------2--------2--------2----|
D 2--------2--------2--------2----- D 3--------3--------3--------3------|
A --------------------------------- A ----------------------------------|
E --------------------------------- E ----------------------------------|
For C chord For G chord (with a slight variation of the
second fret, D string during the chorus)
e -------------------------------- e ---------------------------------|
B ----1--------1--------1--------1 B ----0--------0--------0--------0-|
G --0--------0--------0--------0-- G --0--------0--------0--------0---|
D 2--------2--------2--------2---- D 0--------0--------2--------0-----|
A -------------------------------- A ---------------------------------|
E -------------------------------- E ---------------------------------|
Personally I like it alot more playing the chords all the way through but it's you choice!
Intro:
Am F C G x2
Am F C G Am
Pinch of tobacco in my pocket I'm not gonna roll it no I'm not gonna smoke 'til we're
F C G
staring at the stars and the rockets twinkling in the silvery night
Am F C G
Two sips of whiskey in the flask but I'm not gonna drink it I swear I'll make it last 'til
Am F C G
we're drinking out of the same glass again
F C G G F
And though the sun may be washed by the sea not all will be lost then in you
C G G F
four will not wait for three, for three never waited for two
C G G (let ring) Am
and though you may not wait for me, I'll wait for you
F C G Am x2
I'll wait for you
F C G
Am F C G
Polaroid picture in my wallet, I'm not gonna tear it no I'm not gonna spoil it
Am F C G
it's an unspoken heartbreak, a heartbroken handshake I take with me where I go
Am F C G
Three words on the tip of my tounge not to be spoken or sung or to whispered to
Am F C G
anyone 'til I'm screaming at the top of my lungues again
F C G G F
And though the sun may be washed by the sea not all will be lost then in you
C G G F
four will not wait for three, for three never waited for two
C G G (let ring) Am
and though you may not wait for me, I'll wait for you
F C G Am x5 (or fingerpick 2x strike chords 3x)
I'll wait for you aaah
F C G
Am F C G Am
Pinch of tobacco in my pocket I'm not gonna roll it no I'm not gonna smoke 'til we're
F C G
staring at the stars and the rockets twinkling in the silvery night
