Adrift Tab

by Barenaked Ladies


BARENAKED LADIES - ADRIFT

There are so many complex harmonies in this song I won't even dare to pull out a
full tab. This is my first transcription, but I'm certain all the chords are accurate.

Standard Tuning - no capo

Ever since we said our goodbyes
                                   
The onion rings, the phone makes me cry
              
Something isn't right
                                  
Like the Deep Blue without the Great White


                 
In the morning open your eyes
              
The waterfalls, the fire flies
          
You're an abacus
                          
And my heart was counting on us


                           
Your heart's got a heavy load
                        (2)
There's still a long way to go
                         
Keep your eyes on the road


               
Crescent moon sings me to sleep
                        
The birches bark, the willows weep
          
But I lie awake
                         
I'm adrift without a snowflake


                           
Your heart's got a heavy load
                         (2)
There's still a long way to go
                         
Keep your eyes on the road
