Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Okay a few things to cover before you start playing the song. Follow the strumming patterns for a accurate
Strumming but to make it clear this song is fingerpicked. The down-strokes are the bass note of each chord
and the up-stroke is the rest of the chord, simple. Plus the chords in the intro/interlude are super wierd
so to simplefy i write them as Fsus and D#7 in the interlude so you can see more easily where they are in
relation to the words.
IF I'M COMPLICATING THINGS JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG IT'S EASY TO FIIGURE OUT THE RYTHM.

[Intro]
Fsus4#5 D#7omit3 (switch between as the strumming pattern suggests)
[Chorus]
A#m7 AmMb13
When your love hits like a wave
G#m7 F#6
And I feel a little warmer
A#m7 AmMb13
And there’s nothing I would save
G#m7 F#(1)
Except you if I was fortunate
F#(2) D#m7
And I don’t know what to say
C#
When I see you am I forcing it
A#m7 AmMb13
If your love takes me away
G#m7 F#
Hope it’s true just like a fortune I could make
[Verse]
A#m7 AmMb13
Unfortunately fortunes always fade
G#m7 F#6
And of course Seattle rain can change the course of our parade
A#m7 AmMb13
I’ll build a castle with a river and put a fortress in the way
G#m7 F#
And then I’ll forge a metal sword and shut the door to keep us safe
F# D#m7
And even when I leave I’ll still remember you
C#
‘Cause you meant more to me than that picture framed in our living room
A#m7 AmMb13
And I know I don’t got much more to offer than a simple tune
G#m7 F#
Hope that this is what you gon’ listen to
[Interlude]
Fsus4#5 D#7omit3 (switch between as the strumming pattern suggests)
[Verse]
Fsus D#7
When you’re driving with your top down
Fsus D#7
Riding ‘round countin city lights
Fsus D#7 Fsus D#7
You’ll be fine alone as long as you don’t let the city bite
Fsus D#7 Fsus D#7
I’ll stay in your heart for a while we’ll ride the wave
Fsus D#7 Fsus
I got a feeling we’ll be okay
[Chorus]
A#m7 AmMb13

G#m7 F#6
