xSong: The Whaler (Acoustic) Band: Thrice Album: The Alchemy Index: Vols. I & II - Fire & Water Tuning: Standard with Capo on 2nd Fret Tabbed: J. Griff ([email protected]) Comments: This is my second tab. I know there's already a tab for this, but I decided to make one. This version is basically the same and it goes with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve6T_lNnG7Q&feature=related If you watch the video, Dustin does hammer ons/offs with the Am and F in the intro and in parts of the song. This is just a simpler way of playing it. If there's any mistakes let me know. I know this might not be 100%, but it's close. Please comment and rate.

Am But I know the storms, F they will sweep me away. E My daughter's eyes, F they are two tiny seas, E whose water will rise F and then run down her cheeks. Am "Father where do you go, Cmaj9 so far out upon the sea, F C Em when are you coming home to me?" Am "Darling why do you leave, Cmaj9 as the north wind begins to blow? F C Em Will you be coming home to me?" Am, F Am The boat and the blade, F they are all that I know; Am the sea calls my name, Bb-5 and so I must go. E And while they still sleep, F I slip out through the door; E but how can I leave, F with my anchors ashore? Am "Father where do you go? Cmaj9 It's farther than I can see, F C Em when are you coming home to me?" Am "Darling why do you leave, Cmaj9 as the north wind begins to blow? F C Em Will you be coming home to me?" Am7, F, Am, Cmaj9 Am7, F, Am, Cmaj9 C
