Chords used are noted at the bottom; please take note of chords marked with a (*), as they share common names but are played differently. The solos are improv heavy so only use this as a guide to do your own thing. I tried to line up the chord changes with the words and it was hard, but it's easy to figure out once you start playing. Corrections or additions welcome. intro: strum Esus to an increasing volume E Esus E When you come across the sea E Esus E Esus D Me like a beacon guiding you to safety D The sooner the better now E Esus E Esus E And when you come the hills will breathe Esus Like a baby E Esus E Esus D Pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean D The sooner the better now E Esus E Esus E Esus When you come to cover me with your kisses E Esus E Esus D Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den E Esus E Esus E I'll know you by the thunderclap Esus E Esus D Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions C#m And that is why A E I stumble to my knees B* A* And why underneath the heavens B* A* With the stars burning and exploding B* A* G I know I could never let you down ----------0----0----0-------------0----0----0-------------0----0----0--------- -10h12-12---12---12---12-10h12-12---12---12---12-10h12-12---12---12---12-10--- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ solo 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -9-7-7------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ E Esus E Esus E Esus When you come like an iceberg float in darkness E Esus E Esus D Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea D I should know you better now E Esus A B E Esus When you come your majesty to entrap me E Esus D Prince of light receding D The sooner the better now E Esus E Esus I'll know you by the thunderclap E Esus E Esus D Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions C#m And that is why A E I stumble to my knees B* A* And why underneath the heavens B* A* With the stars burning and exploding B* A* G I know I could never let you down ----------0----0----0-------------0----0----0-------------0----0----0--------- -10h12-12---12---12---12-10h12-12---12---12---12-10h12-12---12---12---12-14--- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ solo 2 ---------------------0---0---0---0-----0---0-------0-------------------------- -10-12-10-9-10-9-7-3---3---3---3---3---------------0-------------------------- -------------------------------------2---2---2-2-0-1-------------------------- -----------------------------------------------2-0-2-------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------2-------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------0-------------------------- (not sure about this last little bit) E E7 E E7 (see figure below) -0-0-0--- -0-0-0--- -1-1-1--- -2-0h2--- -2-2-2--- -0-0-0--- E D She came out of the water E Esus Into my horizon E Esus D Like a cumulo nimbus E Esus Coming in from a distance E D Burning and exploding E Esus E Burning and exploding D Like a slow volcano E Esus When you come E D When you come D Cover the ground D Cover the ground E Esus With ashes E Esus D With ashes E Esus E Esus D Baby when you come (silent) When you E(three strums) Esus(four strums) E(one strum, upstroke) come CHORDS: A: x02220 A*: x02222 B: x24442 B*: x04444 C#m: x46654 D: xx0232 E: 022100 Esus: 022200 E7: 020100 G: 320033
