Listen to the song for the correct timing
Verse 1
C G
I can't help the way I am
D
A strong heart with a mission
Am7
In an ocean sailing man
C G
I cant help where I've been
D Am7
The lessons life has given me, the wonder that i've seen
C G
And though it would be sweet
D Em
A constant earth beneath me, a lover in my reach
Whenever she goes from Am7 to C, she plays this:
Am7 C
E|-0---------0---|
B|-1---------1---|
G|-0---------0---|
D|-2---------2---|
A|-0--0h2h3--3---|
E|---------------|
Chorus
C G Dsus4 D Am7
Oh my love, satisfaction waits, I'm following my fate
C G Dsus4 D Em
Oh, so true, my harshest sacrifice is sailing far from you
Verse 2
Dropped anchor near a shore
A land of gold and silver, and strange alluring whores
New and unknown things
A carnival existence. A freedom fit for kings
But heavy is my head
Your eyes a thousand miles away and me not in your bed
Chorus
Verse 3
Now sunlight hits the sea
My course is set, the winds are strong and luck is here with me
You see I've worked for this my life
But sadness plagues the sailor
Always leaving love behind
Chorus
Outro
Em
This time, hammer on the D string:
Em7 - Em
E|-0----0--|
B|-0----0--|
G|-0----0--|
D|-0h2--2--|
A|-2----2--|
E|-0----0--|
*The song can also be played without capo; the chords are:
E, B, F#, C#m7
E, B, F#, G#m
But both the album version and the live duet with Gotye are played with capo
Hope you enjoy playing this beautiful song. It's my first tab, so, please... be as
harsh as you can! ;)
