Erin McKeown - To a Hammer
Tabbed by syphaxe
she plays it super easy moving the C up two frets to get the Dadd4, and tweaks the G to
get the Cadd9 in roughly the same position
G = 3,2,o,o,3,3
Cadd9 = o,3,2,o,3,o
C = 3,3,2,o,1,o
Dadd4 = 5,5,4,o,3,x
Em = o,2,2,o,o,o
G Cadd9
I will never leave you and you will never know it
G Dadd4
I've never known it so plain
G Cadd9
I will be the one to pretend it was nothing
G Dadd4 C
To a blind man each day looks the same
G Dadd4 G
To a blind man each day looks the same
G Cadd9
Was it love? Was it travel? Was it true? Was it tragic?
G Dadd4
We fucked all but in name
G Cadd9
But when you say it's over, I will say it's over
G Dadd4 C
For a banker counts more than the change
G Dadd4 G
A banker counts more than the change
Em C
My name in salt, your name in marble
G Dadd4
One trace is gone and one stays
G Cadd9
I will never leave you and you will never know it
G Dadd4 C
To a player everything is a game
G Dadd4 G
To a player everything is a game

G, Dadd4, C
G, Dadd4, G
Em C
My name in salt, your name in marble
G Dadd4
The echo will be the refrain
G Cadd9
I will hold the secret and you will never see it
G Dadd4 C
For the handsomest flower still fades
G Dadd4 G
The handsomest flower still fades
G Cadd9
And as each day goes by we'll have better goodbyes
G Dadd4
That's the beauty of time and of scale
G Cadd9
But when I close my eyes I will still see your light
G Dadd4 C
For a train only follows its rail
G Dadd4 G
A train only follows its rail
G Cadd9
We'll be the ones to pass on forever
G Dadd4
For forever will doom us to fail
G Cadd9
I will never leave you and you will never know it
G Dadd4 C
To a hammer everything is a nail
G Dadd4 G
To a hammer everything is a nail
