Dam Would Break - Glen Phillips

Dam Would Break Acústico Ao vivo Cifra por Glen Phillips

Live acoustic

This is for a specific live acoustic performance with capo on 5th fret (video referenced in tab). I show what I believe to be the generally correct strumming pattern and the outro is different. I show each measure of Am in the intro: Am Am Dm G (vs. Am Dm G). In the rest of the song I show the verse chord progression as Am Am Dm G (vs Am Dm G Am).

I based this on eltakko's work.

 

This is based on one of Glen Phillips' many live streams on youtube:

In this livestream he sings the line "And if my mind could only..." twice. I replaced

the first occurence of

that line with "And if my lips..." in this tab to match the original lyrics. The other

lyrics match what

Glen sings in this performance.

 

[Intro]

Am Am Dm G (x2)

 

[Verse]

Am Am Dm G

Is it this place that makes me fall from

Am Am Dm G

you? Forget the words that once rang so true.

Am Am Dm G

Did we expect that life was ever

Am Am Dm G

fair, my god? I sowed a field of rose and reaped a whipping rod.

F F G Em

And everything I've held too tight inside could make a part of me

F F G Em

die. And if my lips could only speak the name, the dam would break.

 

Am Am Dm G

 

[Verse]

Am Am Dm G

What is this ice that gathers round my

Am Am Dm G

heart? To stop the flood of warmth before it even

Am Am Dm G

starts. It would make me blind to what I thought would

Am Am Dm G

always be. The only constant in the world for me.

F F G Em

And every hour of every day I need to fight from pulling

F F G Em

away. And if my mind could only loose the chain, the dam would break.

 

Am Am Dm G

Am Am F G

 

F F G Em

For all the things I hid away

F F G Em

And all the words I could not say, the dam would break.

 

Am Am Dm G

Am Am F G

 

[Outro]

Strum each chord once and let ring.

 

Am Dm G

Am F G
