I've sort of reharmonized the chorus to make it more acoustic friendly and I think it's fairly accurate.
I think it sounds more interesting to use sus2 voicings and just play hammer-ons throughout to make it sound
a bit better on acoustic. Here are some of the chords and voicings I use:
Am: x02210
Asus2: x02200
A7sus4: x02033
B5: x244xx
Bm: x2443x or x24030
C: x35550 or 81010988
C5: x355xx
E5: 022xxx
F: 133211 or x8756x
G: 320030
G6add2: 300430
G6sus2: 300030
Gsus2: 300230 or 300033
[Intro]
Am G x2
Am G If I trust in the wind, she will pave me a different road Am G I will try and start over, but I think I must choose someone else Am G I am pulled from the pages where the letters lack the pigment of trust
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Must be on my way, I've gotta get home F G Won't be back someday, so let it unfold
Am G x2
[Verse 2]
Am G I've abandoned the outcome in search of the rest I deserve Am G You can do what you will with my body, but I won't ring the bell Am G I've omitted the chapters that bow and admit defeat
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Must be on my way, I've gotta get home F G Won't be back someday, so let it unfold
[Chorus]
E5 Gsus2 Asus2 C5 Bm Hi - gher than mountains E5 Gsus2 Asus2 Bm C5 Bm Bm Asus2 Of ca - ver- nous people
G Gsus2 Asus2* Gsus2 * - You can play Am or A7sus4 here to mix it up
Searching for a lighthouse in the fog
E5 Gsus2 Asus2 C5 Bm Hi - gher than mountains E5 Gsus2 Asus2 Bm C5 Bm Bm Asus2 Of ca - ver- nous people G Gsus2 Asus2 G Searching for a lighthouse in the fog
Am G x2
[Verse 3]
Am G Of the flowers that grew from the cracks in the ground you paved Am G Didn't you think he would warn me through the thorns of my waking dreams? Am G When the riddles connected the dots of this constellation
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Must be on my way, I've got to get home F G Won't be back someday, so let it unfold
[Chorus]
E5 Gsus2 Asus2 C5 Bm Hi - gher than mountains E5 Gsus2 Asus2 Bm C5 Bm Bm Asus2 Of ca - ver- nous people G Gsus2 Asus2* Gsus2 Searching for a lighthouse in the fog E5 Gsus2 Asus2 C5 Bm Hi - gher than mountains E5 Gsus2 Asus2 Bm C5 Bm Bm Asus2 Of ca - ver- nous people G Gsus2 Asus2 G Searching for a lighthouse in the fog
Bm C x2
[Bridge]
Bm C I found a reason to leave you with this love Bm G All I can do is forgive your broken heart Bm C Trapped in this town made of amber for too long Bm G All I can do is forgive your broken heart
Bm C x2
[Chorus]
E5 Gsus2 Asus2 C5 Bm Hi - gher than mountains E5 Gsus2 Asus2 Bm C5 Bm Bm Asus2 Of ca - ver- nous people G Gsus2 Asus2* Gsus2 Searching for a lighthouse in the fog E5 Gsus2 Asus2 C5 Bm Hi - gher than mountains E5 Gsus2 Asus2 Bm C5 Bm Bm Asus2 Of ca - ver- nous people G Gsus2 Asus2 G Searching for a lighthouse in the fog
Hope this is is useful to some people. It's really a beautiful song and a hidden gem on a less-favoured Volta
album. Please add corrections if necessary and love eachother.
