Consider The Ravens

Biography:

Dustin Kensrue (born November 18, 1980) is the vocalist, lyricist, and rhythm guitarist in the Orange County post-hardcore quartet Thrice, as well as a solo artist.

Dustin also has a solo acoustic side project under his own name. He had toured in past years on his own under the moniker "Ursus Veritas," but decided to drop the name in favor of simplicity since "people have enough trouble just pronouncing [his] last name to begin with." The name was a play-on-words of its Latin components: Ursus meaning bear, and Veritas meaning truth.

Song : Consider the Ravens
Tabbed by: Comrade Stukov

This is by and far one of the easiest songs to play off of dustin's solo album as
its only 4 chords, standard tuning, and no capo. Please feel free to email any
corrections to [email protected]

Two quick note, when dustin plays his Am he likes to embelish it by hamering the
open g string to the a, and on rollup to chorus the sequence is

E--2--3--5--
B--3--3--3--
G--2--2--2--
D--0--0--0--
A-----------
e-----------

Played slightly upbeat, to help maintain rhythm when you slap strings for beat,
strum as you hit the guitar (little jack johnson trick)

Intro G D Am

Verse 1

G D
I've got bills to pay
Am Am
Taxman on my tail
G D
Just keep prayin' that

between the river and the ravens I'm fed

Sweet deliver, oh you lift up my head
G
and lead me in your way

Verse 2

G D
I've grown sick and tired
Am Am
of trying to stand still
G D
I've learned to let the wind
Am Am
pull me where it will

G D
Throw myself into
Am C
the will of the wait
Am C
I can never be great
D(rollup)
'til we're free

Chorus

Although I'm walking through |
Am Am |
the valley of the shadow of death |

evils all around |
Am Am |
It's coming from the right and the left |
|palm muted section
G D |
Trust that I will see |
Am C |
the glory above |
Am C |
Oh, your banner of love |
D(rollup) |
flies over me -|
