* There are two guitar parts, but I am
going to notate the primary guitar, which
carries all of the harmony. You can play
along with it by only listening to the
far-left channel.
* I'm also going to label the tab by
string number instead of letters. Re-
writing all the sharps constantly is
annoying!
1| C#
2| G#
3| D#
4| C#
5| G#
6| C#
* I will also be naming chords based on
Open D tuning, since it's more conventional
and would be easier to read.
* IMPORTANT NOTE: The outro appears to be
in a different tuning than the rest of the
song... so unless you have a way of rapidly
tuning your third string to F, I will have
to fake the outro a little bit in the tab.
In my tab:
10 = T
11 = E
12 = W
13 = H
14 = F

D Sitting down with my line in the water Bm A6 G6 Asus4 Sun in my face in Snug Harbor D With you and your brother and his wife Bm A6 G6 Asus4 And their son and their daughter out here in Snug Harbor
[VERSE II]

D Bm A6 G6 Asus4
[VERSE III]
D Sitting in the sand, lying in the water Bm A6 G6 Asus4 Talking to my father, talkin' to my sister D On my phone and we reminisce Bm A6 G6 Asus4 My right ear ringing with tinnitus
[VERSE IV]
D From the many years of recording and travel Bm A6 G6 Asus4 I go to bed and while I unravel I think D "Yeah sure, for now there's no work Bm A6 G6 Asus4 But having no work has its perks"
[CHORUS II]
Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 I get to talk to my family every day Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 And every night I get to see your lovely face Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 And in the morning I awake to the sound of birds Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 I think of daily affirmations and positive words Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 Ray Leonard was asked, "What is a champion?" Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 He said "Believing in yourself when nobody else does"
D Bm A6 G6 Asus4
[VERSE III]
D Sitting on the beach, lying in the water Bm A6 G6 Asus4 For the first time ever I'm reading Raymond Carver D My ex-girlfriend liked him so much Bm A6 G6 Asus4 That I was jealous and I never opened or touched
[VERSE IV]
D One of his books, I never read a story Bm A6 G6 Asus4 I was young and threatened, stubborn and petty D Then she died and now the time has passed Bm A6 G6 Asus4 I finally lightened up and I buried the ax
[CHORUS III]
Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 Reading what we talk about when we talk about love Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 The stories would have stumped me when I was young Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 These books would have left me scratchin' my head Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 With age and life experience they make so much sense Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 And now I know a little more about her than what I thought I did Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 She loved reading about the sorrows of life and the struggles of relationships
[CHORUS IV]
Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 And he liked writing about fishing, that's for sure Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 I wish I could ask you which Carver was your favorite book Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 And while I'm sitting around waiting, waiting for work Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 E7sus2 I'm happy to be fishing on the surf for croakers and perch [POST-CHORUS] G/B A7 G5 Em Em/D 1|-------0-------0-------0-|-------5-------5-------5-------5-| 2|---T-------T-------T-----|---5-------5-------7-------7-----| 3|-----T-------T-------T---|---------------------0-------0---| 4|-------------------------|-----0-------0-----------0-------| 5|-----------------0-------|-----------------7---------------| 6|-9-------9---------------|-5-------5-----------------------| G/B A7 G5 Em Em/D And one day when I'm back to traveling the earth G/B A7 G5 Em Em/D From Stockholm to London, from Melbourne to Perth G/B A7 G5 Em Em/D I'll be missing our dinners of black perch G/B A7 G5 Em Em/D I'll never forget what these nights are worth G/B A7 G5 Em Em/D*↓ Waking up next to you to the sound of birds [LAST TIME ↓ w/ 2nd finger] -------4-|| ---0-----|| -----0---|| -0-------|| ---------|| ---------|| [OUTRO*] GM7 Bm7 A7 GM7 1|(4)|| -------2-------7-------5-------4-|-------2-------4-------2-------4- || 2|---||o ---5-------5-------9-------7-----|---5-------5-------5-------5----- o|| 3|---|| ---------------------------------|--------------------------------- || 4|---|| -----0-------0-------0-------0---|-----0-------0-------0-------0--- || 5|---||o ---------------------------------|--------------------------------- o|| 6|---|| -5-------5-------9-------7-------|-5-------5-------5-------5------- || DM7 Em7 DM7 GM7 1|| -------E-------T-------E-------4-|-------2-------4-------2-------T- || 2||o ---T-------T-------F-------T-----|---5-------5-------5-------5----- o|| (4x) 3|| ---------------------------------|--------------------------------- || 4|| -----0-------0-------0-------0---|-----0-------0-------0-------0--- || 5||o ---------------------------------|--------------------------------- o|| 6|| -T-------T-------F-------T-------|-5-------5-------5-------5------- ||
