From my own true love, lost at sea. (lost at sea)
The rest of the song is a repeat of what
is already there, it shouldn't take too much
effort to figure out :)
it would appear some of the text i typed got cut off the end of the pages, which is why some of the sentances don't make much sense :S
One mistake i have spotted; On the chordsheet, don't forget the D major chord, when Colin sings "rain swept town" and "rain comes down" Listen to the song and you'll be able to figure it out.

another thing, and i'm not sure if this is on the record but i recall hearing it when they play it live, in the transition back to the verse from the chorus, after he hits the 3 on the E (as he sings "lost"), he'll hit 4 on the low E, a G# relative to the capo, for one note (as he is sings "at") then to the 0 on the A string (as he sings "sea"). other than this, the tab is perfect, and im glad someone actually realized the song is played on a capo, as they have mentioned when playing it live. and it makes it incredibly easier to play concerning the 3 on the E string during the Am verse. Thanks a ton for posting this!
Nice work, but I think the G chord at the end of Riff A should be replaced with Am/G (302010) relative to capo.
