Waves of Salt - Henry ate
This song is being played with the help of a capodaster at the first fret. So actually you play the whole
in C# instead of C, but the song is transcribed as if you are playing in normal tuning. The song is played
a neat fingerpicking style. The high E is never played. Instead, the C (played at the B-string) is played continually throughout the whole song.
The chords might look a bit scary, but just take a normal C chord. C/B means that same chords, but only
a B in the bass. Just lower the bass note of the normal C one fret lower and there you have the C/B. All
chords follow that same principle. Just as you make sure that you continuously play the C note on the second string, first fret.
When you look at the chords, you can see a bassline walking from C - B - F - G and back to C. This
bass? is played solely on the fifth (A) and sixth (E) string. Only in the chorus the fourth string(D) is used in
C/F* , C/E chords. (C/F* has an * because this chord played with a different bass note compared to the ?normal? C/F)
C C/B C/F C/G
Waves of salt and sand in whispers
C C/B C/F C/G
Held in your hand
C C/B C/F C/G
A magic heart that takes you away
C C/B C/F C/G
From the things you just don?t understand
C C/B C/F C/G C C/B C/F C/G
Color me a tragedy in blue and I will think of you
C C/B C/F C/G
It?s funny how your heart desires
C C/B C/F C/G
What your soul can never let you do
C/F* C/E C C/B C/A (Am7)
And you still wait hiding your head so low
C C/B C/A C/F
The silence was broken
C/G C C/B C/F C/G
Here you didn?t let go
So catch your breath in a jar of steel
To keep till your day of passing
In a box underneath your soul kept safe
With only your g-d watching
And you still wait
Hiding your head so low
The silence was broken
Here you didn?t let go
C/F* C/E C/F* C/E
Now I will, I will
C/F* C/G C/F# C/F C C/B C/F C/G
I will, I will never know
Waves of salt and sand in whispers
Held in your hand
A magic heart that takes me away
From the things you just don?t understand
So color me a tragedy in blue and I will think of you
It?s funny how your heart desires
What your soul can never let you do
And you still wait
Hiding your head so low
The silence was broken
Here you didn?t let go
C/F* C/E C/F* C/E
Now I will, I will
C/F* C/E C/F# C/F C/G
I will, I will never know
