AN EVENING HYMN - The Wooden Sky
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Adwin Van Loo
E-mail: Adwin_van_loo@hotmail.com
Tuning: EADGBe (standard tuning)
Capo: 2nd Fret
This Tab is the official tab that the band uses to play this.
I've learned by watching a video of the band on vimeo.
https://vimeo.com/10151056
I've seen another tab written of this song that makes it way too difficult on the fingers.
This tab is way more intuitive to play but it looks complex.
It doesn't require much hand movement at all.
Hope you like it.

Winnipeg I'm sorry
For wearing your heart on my sleeve
In the morning I'll be going
These arms won't tire from rowing
And the drums won't let me sleep

I sneak out in the morning
And I watch you while you sleep
You lie there like a stranger
With the secrets that you keep

When you're caught up in the rain
And it's coming down in sheets
It really keeps a boy awake
Yeah it keeps a boy awake

PLAY Verse 2x
All my clouds have a silver lining
From which I'll melt the metal down
For paddles for my heart to keep it beating
And if they keep repeating
Then the two of us could dance all through the night

And get caught up in the rain
When it's coming down in sheets
It really keeps a boy awake
Yeah it keeps a boy awake

PLAY Verse 2x
What's the point in living
If you can't get what you want
I'm too tired for conversation
Come home dear, I feel lost

Caught up in the rain
And it's coming down in sheets
It really keeps a boy awake
Yeah it keeps a boy awake
PLAY Bridge 4x
