"Heartbeat & Sails" by Augie March Written by Richards/Augie March (i assume) Transcribed by Tim Byron Heartbeat & Sails is the second single from the Augie March album, "Sunset Studies." It's 6/8, in the key of B. It seems like it uses standard tuning. The verses only look half the speed of the intro on the transcription, because I've used more space in trying to fit in the words. intro: Badd4 E/Ab Emajb5/Bb Badd4 e-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0------0-- b---4-----4-----4-----4-----0-----0-----4-----4----- g-4-----4-----4-----4-----1-----3-----4-----4------- d--------------------------------------------------- a--------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------- Badd4 E/Ab Emajb5/Bb Badd4 e-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0------0-- b---4-----4-----4-----4-----0-----0-----4-----4----- g-4-----4-----4-----4-----1-----3-----4-----4------- d--------------------------------------------------- a--------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------- first verse: Badd4 e---------0----------0-----------0-----------0------ b-----4----------4-----------4-----------4---------- g-4----------4-----------4-----------4-------------- d--------------------------------------------------- a--------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------- Scoop my brains, let my heart have action in it's E/Ab Emajb5/Bb Badd4 e---------0----------0-----------0-----------0------ b-----0----------0-----------4-----------4---------- g-1----------3-----------4-----------4-------------- d--------------------------------------------------- a--------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------- thousand million lots, in the Badd4 e---------0----------0-----------0-----------0------ b-----4----------4-----------4-----------4---------- g-4----------4-----------4-----------4-------------- d--------------------------------------------------- a--------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------- dumb city dawn I am senseless and drawn to the E/Ab Emajb5/Bb e---------0----------0-----------0-----------0------ b-----0----------0-----------0-----------0---------- g-1----------1-----------3-----------3-------------- d--------------------------------------------------- a--------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------- sun as the blackbirds and their toppy- Badd4 F#7 e---------0----------0-----------0-----------0------ b-----4----------4-----------2-----------2---------- g-4----------4-------------------------------------- d------------------------4-----------4-------------- a--------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------- knots, in Abm7 Emajb5/Bb e---------2----------2-----------0-----------0------ b-----0----------0-----------0-----------0---------- g-1----------1-----------3-----------3-------------- d--------------------------------------------------- a--------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------- biting down on the great foam world of Badd4 Emaj7/Ab e---------0----------0-----------0-----------0------ b-----4----------4-----------4-----------4---------- g-4----------4-------------------------------------- d------------------------6-----------6-------------- a--------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------- what is the looming thing?
