Chords by André Lindberg,
Re-tabbed by Alex Dyck
I re-tabbed the "Bridge". You will see the different chord progression. Sounds about right. I also copied the
chords to the other verses.
This is the major adaptations of the chords he uses. Numbers will be after
relevant chords below to indicate a play. Other than this he basically just pulls
of and hammers some random notes. You'll feel it.
CAPO 7
(1)C-major, D-string, -2-3-2-0
(2)C-Major, D-string, -2-3-2-0-2-0
(3)G-major, A-string, -2-3-2
Into:
C (1) x2
C(1) - Am7 - F - C - Am7 - F - G
C (1) Am7
We're melting ruby hearts
F C (2)
A confusing trade
Am7
To burn the ore
F G
To shape a blade
C (1) Am7
Then to swing it low
F C (2)
Beginners fate
Am7
To lose a skin
F G
To just grow away
F C
Like a rain, to help a river
G F G
But a river's so hard to please
Em F
But I've grown to see the diamonds
G
You've thrown in just for me
C(1) - Am7 - F - C - Am7 - F - G
C (1) Am7
We spent so many nights
F C (2)
Just gathering stones
Am7
The silver tears
F G
Old sapphire bones
C (1) Am7
And all the copper leaves
F C (2)
Then dreamt, now true
Am7
Look how they find their path
F G
To cut right through
F C
Like a rain, to help a river
G F G
But a river so hard to please
Em F
But I've grown to see the diamonds
G
You've thrown in just for me
Am7 C
Look when your hopeless child will figure
Am7 C
There are moments when hope's not
F C G
Only real when flagging far down a road
Am7 C
With an armful broken arrows
Am7 C
And no hand free for the bow
F C
Your kid will lose a battle
G
But your ways
F Am7 C G
Will let him go
C (1) Am7
I lose my wish to drown
F C (2)
And aimless flee
Am7
What you've thrown to lose
F G C
Is still right here with me
