Here’s a tab for Ship in a Bottle by Bright Eyes. It’s not an easy one to tab, but I
this is accurate, and it works OK even if it’s not entirely right.
Intro: F#m D x4 (use the 2nd fret F#m and the open D, because you need to hit the F# on the high E
every time you play)
F#m D I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you open, F#m D That fixes all of life's mistakes F#m D I wanna be the house that you were raised in F#m D The only place that you feel safe F#m D I wanna be a shower in the morning F#m D That wakes you up and makes you clean F#m D I know I'm just the weather against your window F#m D A As you sleep through a winter's dream F#m Someones churning the earth C#m Someone's stirring the sky E F#m Every color at once in a column of lights F#m C#m Bacteria breeds on a microscope slide E Ab The worm in my heart's the apple of your eye A B Don't adore what is impossible E Ab We have built this ship in a wine bottle A But if you knew how it worked, Ab We'd have to grow old
Bridge: F#m D x12
A
F#m C#m Someone's eating at you, wakes you up in the night E F#m If you're digging the past, who knows what you'll find F#m C#m Read the newspaper print off the microfiche slide E Ab And you're holding your breath for the rest of your life A B Don't you love what is intangible E Ab I have built this ship in a wine bottle A But if you knew who I waaaaaas... Ab You would never grow old
