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 D chord variations he does really make this song. TTMOE
plays around with D major, Dsus4 and Dsus2 almost anytime you see a
D 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:) D - A - Em - D - ADA
Well, 'All is well in order' is what you thought you heard them say
EmDA
and so you drifted off to see what's not in yourself
DA
Light is turning slowly will it lay out on the plains?
EmD
No more nights of what you wrote back then,
AGDA
no relief of no rain
DA
And so, singing songs of rivers tied to accidents within
EmDA
and telling people lies of lions, treasures, and kings
DA
Nothing's more revealing than the dancer and the doubt
EmDAG
waving to forget what's never gone, always there, never right
ADA
In all these riots of broken sounds
Em
Like the last voice you heard
ADAEmDA
then you drowned, oh lord
DA
You know, this is wind and walls and weathered leaves and tearing sails
EmDA
and minnows in your pockets when the rapid's on trails
DA
this is not the future but I sense it's right up there
EmDAG
oh, just another hour, another pass, another day anywhere
ADA
In all these riots of broken sounds
Em
And you sleep on the track
ADAEmDA
every night, oh lord
G
And we don't know if your treasure is safe
ADBm
where will you be when they find you, son?
G
And you know they're always following me
ADBm
so when I get there you trust me son, and just leave,
AA6A7
I'll catch up
DA
This is where you're passionate of seasons and their strength
EmDA
and this is where you breathe and walk and know they will end
DA
Light is turning slowly to the hand upon your chest
EmDAG
so lay it on the plains where there is time, there is love, there is rest
ADA
From all these riots of broken sounds
Em
When you sleep on the track
ADAEmDA
every night, oh lord
(Break:) G - A - A6 - G - A - A6G
And we don't know if your treasure is safe
ADBm
where will you be when they find you, son?
GA
And you know they're always following me
D
I'll be the best when the silence comes.
