SWIM UNTIL YOU CAN'T SEE LAND (ACOUSTIC) - Frightened Rabbit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Sam Rayner
Site: samrayner.com
This is the acoustic version of Swim played by Scott Hutchison
I've tabbed it so it can be played with standard tuning and chords
but it sounds much better if you tune to CGDGBE and follow Scott's
versions of the chords.
N.B. Standard chord names (e.g. D) are used for simplicity but the
fingerings differ between verse and chorus! Refer to the guide below
if you want to match Scott's sound.
Awesome song. Enjoy!

G D Em C D C A salute at the threshold of the North Sea in my mind G D Em C D C And a nod to the boredom that led me here to face the tide and G C5 G G C5 G G C5 G G C5 Swim I swim I swim G D Em C D C Dip a toe in the ocean. Oh, how it hardens and it numbs G D Em C D C The rest of me is a version of man built to collapse into crumbs G D Em C D C And if I hadn't come now to the coast to disappear G D Em C D C I would have died in the landslide of rocks and hopes and fears G C5 G So swim until you can't see land | G C5 G | Swim until you can't see land | G C5 G | x2 Swim until you can't see land | D C | Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? |
G D Em C D C (x2)
G D Em C D C Up to my knees now, do I wait? Do I dive? G D Em C D C The sea has seen my like before though it's my first and perhaps last time G D Em C D C Let's call me a baptist, call this a drowning of the past G D Em C D C She is there on the shoreline hurling stones at my back G C5 G So swim until you can't see land | G C5 G | Swim until you can't see land | G C5 G | x2 Swim until you can't see land | D C | Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? |
BRIDGE (x2)
G D Em C D C Now the water is taller than me and the land is a marker line G D Em C D C All I am is a body adrift in water, salt and sky G C5 G So swim until you can't see land | G C5 G | Swim until you can't see land | G C5 G | x2 Swim until you can't see land | D C | Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? | D C Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? D C Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? D C Are you a man, are you a bag of sand? D C G Are you a man, are you a bag of sand?
