Hi! This is a great song from the new album "Backspacer" and I wanted to make an
acoustic version of it. It sounds OK to me, not perfect, but good enough. :-D Play
along with the song to figure out the timing.
If you have any corrections, please let me know!
Enjoy!
Intro: Bm
D Bm 5x
D A G
Verse: it's the same as the intro and it's kind of hard to write down the correct
timing so you'll have to listen to the song to figure it out.
Bm D Bm D
Understand she's a force of nature
Bm D Bm D
Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Bm D Bm D A
Exorcising her will to lose control
G
She lets go
A common man, he don't stand a chance, no
Wonderland pulling Alice in the hole
No way to save someone who won't take the rope
And just let's go
Chorus:
D A
One man stands the edge of the ocean
Bm G
A beacon on dry land
D A
Eyes upon the horizon
Bm A G A Bm (D Bm)4x
In the dark before the dawn
Verse:
Hurricane has the trade winds blowing
A gale force shaking windows in the storm
Shipwreck on the rock that he calls home
With one light on
Chorus
D A
Somewhere there's a siren singing
Bm G
A song only he hears
D A
All the strength that you might think
Bm A G A
Would disappear,.. Resolving
D A
One man stands alone, Awaiting
Bm G
For her to come home
D A
Eyes upon the horizon
Bm A G A Bm A G D A
In dark before the darkness meets the dawn.
Bridge:
A Bm 2x
A
Makes me ache,... Makes me shake,...
Bm A G A Bm A G A F#
Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?
Verse:
Last I saw, he was out there waiting
A silhouette in the black light, full moon glow
In the sand there he stands upon the shore
Forevermore
Chorus
D A
Somewhere there's a siren singing
Bm G
A song only he hears
D A
All the strength that you might think
Bm A G A
Would disappear, resolving
D A
One man stands along, Awaiting
Bm G
For her to come home
D A
Eyes are closed,.. You cannot know
Bm A G A
But his heart don't seem to
D A Bm G
roam.
Outro: play D A Bm G a few times and end with
G A Bm A G A Bm A Bm
hey good job man! but i think its more like
G A Bm C#m
at the end of the chorus bits like wher you have
Bm A G A
also the outro chords are
D A Bm G
D A G A Bm C#m
D A Bm G
D A G A Bm
C#m D Em F#m G (these would be played as bar chords)
but then again it actually sounds alright just strumming G and singing when they do the whole run up the scale with chords.
cheers :)
The end line of the chorus should be G A G A, rather than starting with Bm. At least that's the way I hear it.
Apart from that, great job! :)
