Wind And Walls
The Tallest Man on Earth
---------- tabbed by ClassicManiac ----------- Alright this is BY NO MEANS supposed to be an actual representation of what TTMOE does in the album version. I’ve tried to transcribe this song to Standard Tuning yet the artist uses an alternate tuning for the real thing. Consequently my version will differ from the original recording here and there but I’ve done my best for those who don’t wanna waste a lot of time tuning their guitars. So please take it for what it is: An interpretation. No more no less. It is still accurate enough to play along the original version. The strumming pattern is pretty important in this song in order to make it sound right. Listen to the song a few times and try playing along I’m sure you’ll get it quickly. Even more the chord variations he does really make this song. TTMOE plays around with major and almost anytime you see a chord in here starting in the intro already. Once again listen to the recording to get it right. Now hit it and have fun! :) (to be in key with original recording) (Intro:) - - - - Well ’All is well in order’ is what you thought you heard them say and so you drifted off to see what’s not in yourself Light is turning slowly will it lay out on the plains? No more nights of what you wrote back then no relief of no rain And so singing songs of rivers tied to accidents within and telling people lies of lions treasures and kings Nothing’s more revealing than the dancer and the doubt waving to forget what’s never gone always there never right In all these riots of broken sounds Like the last voice you heard then you drowned oh lord You know this is wind and walls and weathered leaves and tearing sails and minnows in your pockets when the rapid’s on trails this is not the future but I sense it’s right up there oh just another hour another pass another day anywhere In all these riots of broken sounds And you sleep on the track every night oh lord And we don’t know if your treasure is safe where will you be when they find you son? And you know they’re always following me so when I get there you trust me son and just leave I’ll catch up This is where you’re passionate of seasons and their strength and this is where you breathe and walk and know they will end Light is turning slowly to the hand upon your chest so lay it on the plains where there is time there is love there is rest From all these riots of broken sounds When you sleep on the track every night oh lord (Break:) - - - - - And we don’t know if your treasure is safe where will you be when they find you son? And you know they’re always following me I’ll be the best when the silence comes.
