Down in the Seine (Days of Speed version)
Paul Weller
This is a tab Chris Doyle and I worked out for the excellent ‘Down in the Seine’ found
the acoustic ‘Days of Speed’ release.
Intro: - (x3)
Weller plays grace notes on the Em7 chord, walking down a melody on the B
string, 3rd fret, 1st, open and on Dm7 adding B string 3rd fret as transition back to
chord.
Verse 1
Catch me I’m falling so fast and I can’t seem to find all the reasons I had
when the purpose was mine, now I stumble so fast rolling into the night…
Kiss me quick before I land and am broken in two, keep me on the right track,
hold my dreams intact too – I get lost in this place - I get lost, yes it’s
true…
Chorus:
And in the waters I sink and in the waters I drink, until I rise to the top,
which in truth is not, it’s the same as below we will put on a show, to make
(hold for bit)
you feel you’re alright, to make you feel there’s no fight… -
Repeat intro (x4)
Verse 2
Help me I’m sinking so fast into waters unplanned that I once held onto but
have got out of hand, now the things that I loved are the things I cannot
stand…
Squeeze me slow before I come to that part of the ground, it’s a million
miles up and a million miles down. I get lost in between and I wait to be
found…
Chorus:
And in the waters I sink and in the waters I drink, until I rise to the top,
which in truth is not, it’s the same as below we will put on a show, to make
Cmaj7 (hold for a bit)
you feel you’re alright, to make you feel there’s no… fight -
