Admiral Fallow - Evangeline
Tabbed by Bryn Portas (Stud_Muffin)
Beautiful song, pre-release from their upcoming album, Tiny Rewards – hopefully this makes sense to anyone
who has listened to the song, and play it yourselves!! I have included a suggestion of chord shapes below, to
sound fuller and bigger, as the band do, with their creative textures and layering. In case you’re as much of
a theory nerd as me, I’ve put the proper names of the suggested voicings next to them,
so you can show off your boss knowledge of chords…
Enjoy!

Little one, before you came along I was feeling indigo

Verse 2
A B G#m A/C#
Flying out of the holding bay, to the arms of a nobody

Barely independent, say, even with the first few greys

A perfect balance

Two parts: tantrums and tidal waves (repeat both lines as backing vocals)

I could love a tiny bundle of tidal waves as much

a vast improvement, Evangeline
