British Sea Power - Canvey Island
Tabbed by: Richard Antbring
Mail: pm me for it
Verse 1:
A C#m G#
H 5 N 1
A C#m G#
Killed a wild swan
A C#m G#
It was a kind of omen
A C#m G#
Of everything to come
Bm
I can't believe it's happening
C#m
And that it's happening now
Bm
I can't believe it's happening
C#m
It's coming true somehow
Verse 2: (same as Verse 1)
On Canvey Island, 1953
Many lives were lost
With the records of a football team
I can't believe it's happening
And that it's happening now
I can't believe it's happening
It's coming true somehow
Chorus:
C#m D#m
Don't you think it's strange, you know
C#m D#m
The way it all works out
C#m D#m C#m D#m
Brace yourself for storms and Summer droughts, soooooooo
Verse 3: (same as Verse 1)
Sometimes it's hard to tell
If it's going well
You know the odds against it
Were so phenomenal
I can't believe it's happening
And that it's happening now
I can't believe it's happening
It's coming true somehow
Chorus: (same)
Don't you think it's strange, you know
The way it all works out
Brace yourself for storms and Summer droughts
Don't you think it's strange, you know
The way it all works out
You start with everything then end without
F F# F
Oh!
F F# F
Oh, oh!
C A F#
Ohhh...(etc.)
C
Oh it's happening now
A
Oh it's happening now
F#
Oh...
Well done! Any other tabs from the new album to look forward to?
Possibly, I'm trying Open the Door. I know the verses, but haven't figured out the chorus.
Note also that some the chord placements on each row have changed when I submitted it. I guess it's pretty easy to hear
when to change chords though
