Hey everyone. I've been upset with the lack of Iwan on this website for too long and so I'm taking it upon
myself to tab/"chordify" all his songs that I've worked out myself. So, here's Sink:
I've put the lyrics/chords below the tabs for those wanting to keep it simple.
U/D indicates an up or down strum respectively. T indicates a pluck with the thumb.
Verses:
e|--------|--------|--------|--------|
B|--11--11|--11--11|--11--11|--11--11|
G|--00--00|--00--00|--22--22|--00--00|
D|----2---|-----0--|----2---|----0---|
A|3-------|2-------|0-------|2-------|
E|--------|--------|--------|--------|
T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU
i.e. strings 4 and 5 are plucked with the thumb while the high strings are brushed with the index finger
Chorus:
e|--------|--------|--22--22|--22--22|--------|--------|--3--333|--444444|

The strumming in the last two bars isn't strict, but follows this basic pattern.
