House By The Sea

This song is incredible and I’ve been wanting to play it acoustically for a while. The live version finally helped me find a way to figure out approximately what Sam is playing. Capo on the 4th fret in this live performance the album version and Bonnaroo 2008 uses capo 3rd. Most of the notes seemed to be correct from the other 2 versions posted of the song but it didn’t seem as playable in the key of D as Sam makes it look in the live version playing in the (relative) key of C. Feel free to correct if you can hear any notes I missed. This is my first tab and I mostly filled in what felt natural for me to play for the few notes I couldn’t clearly make out. Note -- after watching the video a little more I believe he’s actually playing in something close to and then he can also play 3-3/5-5/3-0 for the higher riff on that high D string instead of 6-6/8-6-3 on the B string.  I’d rather just keep it in standard tuning and slide higher or play your classic allows is that the 3p1 in measures 2 and 4 on the B string can be an octave lower on the C string (2p0) which really sounds like what he is using in the live videos. [Intro Pickup] (end of riff below he begins most of the verse lyrics over this part)    + 4 + b|(1)----| g|-0-----| a|-3p0h3-| |-------| [Main Riff] e|-----S-----------|----------------|-----S--------------|----------------| b|1/3--L-6p3~----3-|1---3p1~-(1)----|1/3--L-6--6/8-6--3--|1---3p1~-(1)----| d|-----P-0---0--(0)|----------------|-----P-0--0---0--0--|----------------| a|3/5--!-----------|3---3-----3p0h3-|3/5--!--------------|3---3-----3p0h3-| |-----!-----------|----------------|-----!--------------|----------------| [Verse 1] There is a house by the sea Two jealous sisters they’re waiting for me And one is laid on the floor And one is changing the locks on the doors [Chorus 1] And I’ve been buying the time on my knees And I’ve been selling their blankets to bleed on [Verse 2] Around the house by the sea The scent of roses and raspberry leaves And there is smoke in my clothes Too much time with just smoke in my nose [Chorus 2] And I’ve been making the meaning they lack And I’ve been burning that book they come back too-oo [Verse 3] (Cut to only plucking chord on beat 1) There is a house by the sea And an ocean between it and me And like the shape of a wave The jealous sisters will sing on my grave [Chorus 3] (Back to full Riff) And I’ve been living to run where they led And I’ve been dying to rise from their bed And I’ve been sparing my neck from their chain And they’ve been changing the sound of my name And I’ve been swimming to them in my sleep And we’ve been dreaming our love and our freedom
