Swallowed in the Sea
Tabbed by Pat McInnis

Here's the beginning melody transcribed for the guitar. (I was just messing around with 
and I thought I'd include it)
Feel free too add slurrs and whatnot to give it some flavor. It sounds cool with effects 
such.
E---------------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------------|
G-----4-----4--6--3---------------------------------|
D--4-----4-----------6--4-----4--6--4--6--4---------|
A--------------------------------------------6p4\2--|

B---------------------------------------------|
G---------------------------------------------|
D-----------4---------------------------------|
A--2--4--6-----6--4\2-------2--2-----2--2--2--|
E----------------------4----------4-----------|
Repeat one more time, with a few minor changes. (Notes are still the same though)

Then it goes to this:

E-------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------|
G-----4-----4--6/8\6--4-------4-----4h6--3--------|
D--6-----6-----------------6-----6----------6--4--|
A-------------------------------------------------|

B--------------------------------------------|
G--------------4-----------------------------|
D--4--6--4--6-----------------------4--------|
A-----------------6p4\2----2--4--6-----6--4--|
E--------------------------------------------|
Repeat one more time, again, with slight changes.

Chords:
Notice the spacing. The second to last chords in the Verse and Chorus are held.
Verse:
B   F#   E   B   F#   E        B

Transition into Bridge/Ending:

Continue with the Chorus after that.
