Biography:
In music, as in life, there are people who fit well within established parameters, people who know the status quo and who are happy to meet, even sometimes exceed it. People who appreciate that the status quo exists. They see the box, fit neatly within it, and feel good because the box is established, understood and comfortable. isn’t one of those people. A brilliant, soulful singer/songwriter, this Midland, Texas native writes in unfiltered, human terms, mirroring doubt and faith in a single stroke.

“Ship Go Down” - David Dunn (acoustic)
tabbed by J.R. Bradford
Tuning: Standard | Capo: 4th fret <------- IMPORTANT!!!
Important Note: The "x's" in the picking pattern for the intro are where David strums the muted A string to
keep tempo, so every "x" is just a down beat on the muted A string (optional)
Another Important Note: I've also put the chords above the intro if you'd rather play those than pick through
the intro. The chords and the picking pattern are interchangeable throughout each and every verse in
this song, as well as any interlude/instrumental and the ending.
One More Important Note: The D/F# in the bridge is a quickly-played transition chord, and David plays it a
little differently, so I've charted the chord below.
D/F#
e |---|---|-4-|
B |---|---|-3-| 1 = Index Finger
G |---|---|---| x = Rest Index Finger on A String to Mute
D |---|---|---| 3 = Ring Finger
A |---|-x-|---| 4 = Pinky Finger
E |---|-1-|---|
Enough talk! Let's get playing! Enjoy!

Cadd9 G5
There's a sea of open water where your heart can sail
