Biography:
Northcote is the solo moniker of Matthew Goud, former member of Means and The Emerson Letters frontman. Born and raised on the prairies, Matthew has spent the last number of years touring around North America and has refined his rootsy, solo material in order to unveil Northcote's debut EP - "Borrowed Chords, Tired Eyes" due out later next month. Northcote has paired up with the Toronto-based independent label Black Box, home to artists such as The Wooden Sky, Shad and more, to release this EP off-stage and online only.

Tntro, Chorus and Verse are fairly standard. Interesting post-chorus progression
with chords but otherwise.
Amazing song! I didn't see any tabs or chord
charts up for this so please enjoy and email me with any errors you see.
***CHORD NAMES are most likely wrong, my apologies. I will tab the chords so you know
exactly what to play. They will be displayed at the bottom.***
Intro: C2
Pre-Verse: C - Am - Gadd4
VERSE
Fadd9 C
I went tasting salty rain...
Fadd9 C
Morning spirits in the foam...
Fadd9 F5 C Gadd4
And in some strangers pain... - Or maybe joy, I was all dried up...
VERSE2
Fadd9 C
I went whistling in the hills...
Fadd9 C
For you cloudy silver fire...
Fadd9 F5 C Gadd4
My body tightened up with words... so I exhale, to loosen evil's power.
CHORUS
Fadd9 C
When you're ready, I'll be ready
Fadd9 C Gadd4
'Cause I've been workin', I've been workin' for this
Fadd9 C
Yeah, the winds have scattered many
Fadd9 C Gadd4
It's been driftin' us, driftin' us away...
(Post-chorus chords) (Interesting timing, listen to the song for this.)
Ohhhh - Fadd9, C - Em6th
Fadd9, E - Esus4
This is the short fill played after nearly each line in the verses:
---> --->
e|--3-----------------3--]
B|--1-----------------1--]
G|--0----0h2p0------0h2--]
D|--2----------2p0--0h3--]
A|--3--3-----------------]
E|-----------------------]
VERSE3
So who are you working for?
The kingdoms or the bottle...
Some status or a one-night stand for the love of your life?
The bill's in your hand...
CHORUS
When you're ready, I'll be ready
'Cause I've been workin', I've been workin' for this..
Yeah the winds have scattered many,
It's been driftin us', driftin' us away.
Now you know! Each verse and chorus is the same. Song progresses as so:
Intro
Verse1
Verse2
Chorus
Verse3
Outro
(The Song's outro is entirely composed of the post-chorus chord progression, and then is
finished off with a gentle picking/strumming of Gadd4, followed by a final strum of the Fadd9.)
Chords Used - I realize I have probably named most of these wrong. I figured this
song out completely by ear,
so PLEASE email me the correct chord names if need be. Thank you and enjoy!
