Biography:
Some bands insist on dragging listeners into their world, but Richmond, VA's Carbon Leaf works towards a more admirable and considerably more difficult goal – that of letting perfect strangers feel that the band understands their world. Since 1992, the band has succeeded in doing just that -- and on its third Vanguard release, Nothing Rhymes With Woman, has created a soundtrack suitable for multiple worlds.
“For me, this is an album that’s focused on growth and maturity, but it’s not deadly serious,” says front man Barry Privett.

Hi there. I'm just providing the chords in this one, but if you want to imitate Carbon
sound (and who wouldn't?), play a slow arpeggio over the verses and big open chords
the chorus. Enjoy!

Carbon Leaf – The Sea
Verse 1:
A
I woke up from a dream
G D A
A white rose was floating to greet the sea
A
Morning light, race me down
G D A
The wooden path, can't catch me now… the sea
Will you wade with me?
You and me all alone, wading on the sea
I grab your toes and now I understand
The symbol of the rose, it floats on my hand on this great sea strand
Chorus:
D A Esus – E B
Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
D A Esus – E B
Until the end or until the day is through
D A Esus – E
B
And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me
D A Esus – E
That lures the devil in the deep blue sea
Verse 2:
Will you always float here with me?
I don't want to send second-hand notes
To you my friend, about the sea
So we jump back into the party
And we wade our way out past the bar
I had not planned on going out this far
Chorus:
Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
Until the end or until the day is through
And as we float, I'll wash away that part of me
That beckons the devil in the deep blue sea
Outro (play chorus chords):
'Cause the devil has a smile
And the devil has a smile
And it's thorny and it's wild
And it grows from deep inside
And you try to swim away
But the devil calls this play
Deep blue sea, deep blue sea, deep blue sea…
sound (and who wouldn't?), play a slow arpeggio over the verses and big open chords
the chorus. Enjoy!
