Villagers – The Waves (acoustic)
I got the chords from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GdjFqR9RZg
Em-Esus4 = alternate between Em and Esus4
Em-Esus4 G
There are waves up in the diamond sky
D
Stronger than you and I
Em-Esus4 G
I’m a wave, I break through the barrier reef
D D/C
Cut through the carbon sea, approaching the shore
Em-Esus4 G
Look at the sky, look at the trees, man, it’s all the same to me
D
Look at the cars, look at the birds and all of these invented words
One body’s dying breath is another’s birth
D/C
What are you running from? What are you running from?
Em-Esus4 G
Sister jewelry, brother judging, you are recognized this grudge
Buried deep beneath the sands of these ridiculous demands
D
No time for innocence, or sitting on the fence
D/C
What are you gonna do? What are you gonna…
G G/F#
When the waves cover the coastal plains
F
The tents and the cars and the trains
C G
And the trace of honey bees sanitaries
G/F#
Of well insulated dignitaries
F
All screaming of the memory of the human love
C
For anything, or anyone
Em-Esus4 G
Look at the birds, look at the bees, madam, it’s all the same to me
D
Look at the girls, look at the gold gathered, beat and bought and sold
One man’s innocence is another’s chance
D/C
What were you thinking of? What were you thinking of?
Em-Esus4 G
Now please let me boil it down to this, my son
D
This party’s getting wet, but it ain’t over yet
D/C
So what is it gonna be? What is it gonna be? What is it gonna be?
G G/F#
Just let the waves cover the coastal plains
F
The fear and guilt and the pain
C
And the trace of honey bee jealousy
G G/F#
Of well insulated bigotry
F
And if you don’t agree
C
You better get back inside your cave
Em
’cause we’re all dancing with the waves
G
Up in the diamond sky
D
Stronger than you and I
D/C
I’m a wave
Em
I break through the barrier reef
G
Cut through the carbon sea
Approaching the shore [18x]: D D/C Em G (repeat)
Last chord: D/C
