From Here You Can Almost See The Sea

David Gray - From Here You Can Almost See The Sea I decided to put together this tab to give two options for playing this song. The other tab version is mostly correct and I found helpful for the fills during all the E* chords. This live version is really useful: https://youtu.be/GFUQq6QyqbE?list=LLOUXs2PBHs0_XGgx1ka3sOQ The original is in open E tuning (EBEG#BE) with the chords: E         090090  - see below thanks to jaydog82283’s tab F#m11     220100 Am9       550400 Bmadd11   770600 Aadd9     557555 Below is the pattern played during the E* chords strummed open -- thanks to jaydog82283’s tab. B|-9/10-9--7--5----9/10--9--7--5--2--0--9/10--9--7--9----9/10--9--7--5--2--0--| #|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-9/10-9--7--5----9/10--9--7--5--2--0--9/10--9--7--9----9/10--9--7--5--2--0--| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| If you can’t be bothered to change your guitar to open tuning I find these chords a good alternative in standard tuning: E         022100 (or 0 14 14 13 0 0) F#m11     244200 Am        577500 Bmadd11   799700 Aadd9     577600 (Note the pattern played on the B strings above won’t work in standard tuning! But as a replacement  you could play some extensions to make it sound more accurate such as Eadd4 022200 and E6 022120.) [Intro] * [Verse 1] Come the weekend And we’ll long gone baby Just like the old days Letting the world flow through me Just a parasite in a line I’m smoking killing the time How long’s a piece of twine What use is sympathy From here you can almost see the sea [Verse 2] If you would hold still Could make a clean incision Then we could sit back And watch the demolition Little puppy dog in a box Somebody’s picking the locks Must want the darn from the socks Here comes the cavalry From here you can almost see the sea [Refrain] Bmadd11                          Aadd9    E         Just another fool in the line   ahhhhhh [Verse 3] I dream of high clouds Flushed with the light of daybreak I’m gonna dive in To water so cold it makes your bones ache Fingers knees and knuckles scraped All of the rubbish heaped A piece of cardboard taped Up where the bedroom window pane used to be From here you can almost From here you can almost see the sea [Refrain] Bmadd11                          Aadd9     E         Just another fool in the line    ahhhhhh Bmadd11                          Aadd9     E         Just another fool in the line    ahhhhhh [Final Verse] I saw a film once Where all the airholes froze up A killer whale swam Under the blue ice Until her heart stopped
