*note:
Marketa plays the song with a capo on the 2nd fret. I played with stantard E tunning, you might tune your guitar up to F# or use a capo, but both would sound quite similar. Anyway hope you enjoy.
The Swell Season - Fantasy Man
Bm7
This diamond's growing in the mountains
A
beneath the pressure of all time
Bm7
that glow in hope and expectation
A
waiting for your hands to find
G
'cause only you could reach inside me
Em
and figure out the worth
Gm
of a life i live providing
Em
what it was you needed most
Bm7 A x2
oh ... da ra da
Bm7
And if everything is measuredby the
A
hole it leaves behind then this
Bm7
mountain has been leveled and there's
A
no more diamonds in the mine
G
go on now just leave it
Em
the timing wasn't right and the
G
forces that swept us both away was too
Em
strong for us to fight
Bm7 A x2
oh ... da ra da
G Em
Fantasy man you are always
G Em
one step ahead of me
C#m B
well i never heard a warning
A C#m
i haven't got things right
C#m B
the sun came out this morning
A C#m
and filled my room with light
C#m B
so go now you are forgiven
A C#m
let's put it down to light
C#m B
the story of two lovers
A C#m
would dance both edges of the night
Bm7 A x2
oh ... da ra da
Bm7
In the station you were standing
A
not knowing what you want
Bm7
and the secrets that we're defending
A
have become our only bond
G
just be patient while i wait here
Em
journeys out of sync
G
while you're out there running in the chaos
Em
i need some time to think
Bm7 A x2
oh ... da ra da
G Em
Fantasy man you are always
G Em
one step ahead of me
C#m B
well i never heard a warning
A C#m
i haven't got things right
C#m B
the sun came out this morning
A C#m
and filled my room with light
C#m B
so go now you are forgiven
A C#m
let's put it down to light
C#m B
the story of two lovers
A C#m
would dance both edges of the night
