This is a beautiful song by the amazing Passenger, I've been looking for tabs on here but none sounded quite
right so I thought I'd make my own :) I've basically got this from this live performance:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvTIGG79mqs but it sounds like the way he plays it in the album too :)
He basically uses G and Am the whole way through, but as he plays each one he likes to flick between G and G7
and Am and Am7, and the G chord is slightly unorthodox, with the open A string so the chords he uses are:
G:3 G7:2 Am:0 Am7:0
0 0 1 1
0 0 2 0
0 0 2 2
0 0 0 0

G Am
We’ll roll down dirty old windows
G
And sing with our eyes closed
Am
And belt out the high notes.
G
And we’ll go down to the beach
Am
Where the wind blows
G
And we’ll throw off our old clothes
Am
And we’ll dance with our eyes closed.
G Am
Because I see love
G Am
I see love when I close my eyes
G Am
And I see love
G Am
I see love when I close my eyes
G
Yeah, we’ll watch the stars glow
Am
And the flames burn the wood slow
G
Playing games with our shadows
Am
Till all four of our eyes close.
G
And darling we’ll sleep close
Am
With no blankets or pillows
G
Like the Wind in the Willows
Am
And we’ll dream with our eyes closed.
G Am
Yeah I see love
G Am
I see love when I close my eyes
G Am
And I see love
G Am
I see love when I close my eyes
C Em
And I feel love in spite of myself
C Em
And I feel love to frighten myself
C G Am
And I feel love and I feel nothing else
G
Vultures and black crows
Am
Perching on sign posts
G
Circling like ghosts
Am G
So we’ll just keep our eyes closed.
