Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
Note that this is in the key of D so if you wanna play along with the recording you'd
have to use a capo or
tune down or something.
Also, try to emphasize the difference between the droning open D and the flatter barred
G and A. Really dig
into those unison strings.

[Intro]
main riff [x4]
[Verse 1]
G
You were standing near the water
D
When the wind ripped through
G
Heard your throat open up like a champagne bottle
D A
I heard the one perfect song pouring out of you
riff D
There was a darkened sky reflected on the river
There was no way of determining where we were
[Chorus]
G
Low hills
Colors gone crazy
D
You standing like a ghost with the water behind you
A
It's hard to grab a hold of something sometimes
G
Like you need me to remind you
riff [x2]
[Verse 2]
G
You were standing near the water
D
And I was looking at the water
G
And then you went down in the water
D
And the river began to boil
A
There was a minute when I thought I knew what you were about
G
And then you opened up your eyes and the Lord came out
[Chorus]
D
Low hills
Colors gone crazy
G
You rising from the water like a bird
D A
You had a pure song posessing you from shoulder to hip
G riff
And I recognized every single word!
[strike guitar vigorously]
