Lyrics via http://lyrics.wikia.com/J%C3%B3nsi:Around_Us
WARNING: this tab isn't a perfect play along - the chords match the pitch of the voice and not the piano in the
chorus- but for a cover- this work's really well + is VERY EASY to play
(This is my interpretation of the song because although other tabs "worked" none are perfect for me.
this is the best i can do in a few minutes...- and I won't include any interludes+instrumentals
Some of the chords are altered but all very simple... (tip :when strumming favour the thicker strings)
Strumming pattern is up to you- mine is too complicated to teach without a video- so I won't be :p
Enjoy and Good Luck!

(tip :keep your ring finger on the B string 3rd fret the whole way through)
(I don't know some... all of the chord names as I made them by sound- sorry :D send corrections if you know :p)
Start...
D (Dsus2) Em7 (Leave out the Dsus2 if you're strumming quietly or just
I see the walls, then see them fall once per chord)
G
You break through them all
D (Dsus2) Em7
I see you crawl, now you stand tall
G
Grow and grow till tall
[Interlude]
D Dsus2 D Dadd1 ....x2-(the interludes and even the whole song can be plucked- if requested i'll tab it)
D (Dsus2) Em7 G
In storm we scream against the stream, our eyes watering
D (Dsus2) Em7
Jump into lakes, the surface breaks
G
We swim underwater, and our
D G
mouths - In tune
Em G D Dsus2
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
Em G D Dsus2
We all want to go with the trees we will grow
Em G D Dsus2
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
Em G
To a place you and I...
D (Dsus2) Em7 G
I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth
D (Dsus2) Em7
I see a door, holes in the floor
G
We'll break seeds, we'll grow
Bridge: x2
D Dadd2
There's songs, songs you bring to us
D Dadd3
You pin both the wings on us
D Dadd2
I hear, I see you sing for us
D Dadd3
You go tie a string around us
Em G D Dsus2
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
Em G D Dsus2
We all want to go with the trees ..... ooohhh
Em G D Dsus2
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
Em G
To a place you and I...
Em G D Dsus2
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
Em G D Dsus2
We all want to go with the trees we will grow
Em G D Dsus2
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
Em G
To a place you and I...
I see you grow : I see you grow : Grow taller [this i generally leave out while playing without a loop pedal :)]
D G
And our mouths - In tune
End with:
D Dadd4 D Dsus2 (slow pluck strums work best, how many times you want :p)
Hope it works - please comment and correct! :P
