Band: Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers Song: Leaky Little Boat Album: Americano Tabbed by: Devon Email: [email protected] KEY: | / slide up | \ slide down | H hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | - Let ring CHORDS USED: A |-0222- D |--0232 E |0221-- F#m |244222 The Song can also be played with a capo I believe it's capoed at the 2nd fret. They it in the DVD. But I just tabbed it uncapoed here. INTRO: A D E I awake from a long, deep sleep A D E In a leaky little boat on a wide blue sea F#m D E I spy no island, rock or shore A D E And the sea, she’s a-comin’ to me through a hole in the floor D A E And the tide come in and the tide go out D A E And the waves they come toss my little boat about F#m D E And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue A D E I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too - Just a leaky little boat | A A D E | A A D | This is the same as the first part of the verses. It is strummed up-down-up on the A's D's. E can be just one stroke. This fill is played over these chords and comes up more throughout the song with variations. e|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------2-------| D|---------------0-2-4-2-0---0------------------0-2-4-2-0-------------| A|--0--2--4-0-4------------4---0---0--2--4-0-4--------------0---------| E|-4------------------------------4-----------------------------------| VERSE: | A A D E | A A D | F#m F#m D E | A A D | The verse is strummed the same way as the above part. Up-down-up on the A's, D's, and one strum on the E's. And as I wake I look around I have no notion where I’m bound So many different colored boats I see Are all leaky, lonely and driftin’ Just like me Chorus: D A E And the tide come in and the tide go out D A E And the waves they come toss my little boat about F#m D E And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue A D E I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too - Just a leaky little boat F#m D E I spy no island rock or shore F#m D E I spy no island rock or shore F#m D I spy no island shore E And the sea keeps a-comin’ to me through a hole in the floor - Of my leaky little boat Bridge: A D E Alone, adrift, together are we A D E Slowly sinkin’ in a deep blue sea F#m But we smile and we wave D E And we say, “I’m afraid…and I love you…and here we go…” D A E And the tide come in and the tide go out D A E And the waves they come toss my little boat about F#m D E And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue A D E I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too - Just a leaky little boat | A A D E | A A D E | F#m F#m D E | A A D E----| At the end the music stops then there is just a rhythmic tap on the dummer's high hat a few seconds. Then the guitar comes in with something like this: | E A D A D | Repeated several times lyrics.
