First tab for me. This is done by ear and should give you a good idea of the chord structure. To play it like Matt you really need to watch his videos and study his technique and the little licks he utilises between lines and verses. This is the video I am basing this off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS4XEuiIfVE Not sure on the naming of chords but they are tabbed below. Tips: this song is mostly picked, starting with the A string and then a picking the rest of the strings in a fan a half beat later. The bottom E (in pitch) is rarely picked apart from the turnarounds between lines/verses, this is in the shape of G and if you are having trouble playing the picked version use a G at the end of each section. Best advice though, watch the video and try to pick-up his technique. Enjoy ;) Chords: C/E: 032013 Cm/E: 002003 Fmaj9: 003213 G: 320033 (rather than actually playing G you can just do a little lick using the same positions) E7: 020100 Am7: 002010 (can also play standard Am) C/E Cm/E Every now and then I get a little bit carried away Fmaj9 C/E G Even at my best I feel so far away C/E Cm/E Like an anchor on a ship, you keep me close to land Fmaj9 C/E G Hold tight baby, hold me with both hands C/E Cm/E I’m a wave without an ocean, a risk without a chance to take Fmaj9 C/E G A thought without a notion, a love without a heart to break C/E Cm/E With all this weight upon me I don’t think that I can stand Fmaj9 C/E Hold me baby, hold me with both hands E7 Wishes come easy, but hope stays far behind Am7 If only it was easy, if all it would take was time C/E Cm/E People don’t see a thing, when they think I’ve got it all Fmaj9 C/E G They think I’ve never hit the bottom, they’ve never seen me fall C/E Cm/E But you’re the one who knows, you’re the one who understands Fmaj9 C/E G When you hold me baby, hold me with both hands Fmaj9 C/E G When you hold me baby, hold me with both hands Additional: I throw a few 5th harmonics in every so often and the odd scale between verses to extend the length when played live.
