Charlie Darwin Tab

by The Low Anthem


Based on "Peggy Days" Tab with a few alterations.
Please be aware this is my first tab so apologies for any mistakes!

ODD CHORDS -  C/G    Fmaj7
               0       0
               1       1
               0       2
               2       3
               3       x
               3       x

You can play a regular C instead of C/G. Both are fine but I think C/G sounds nicer.

                                
Set the sails I feel the winds a'stirring
                                
Toward the bright horizon set the way
                                  
Cast your wreckless dreams upon our Mayflower
                              
Haven from the world and her decay

                                       
And who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin
                             
Fighting for a system built to fail
                               
Spooning water from their broken vessels
                               
As far as I can see there is no land

                            
Oh my god, the water's all around us
                   
Oh my god, it's all around

[Short Instrumental - Just repeat chords for "Oh my god, the water's all around us, Oh 
god, it's all around"]

                                       
And who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin
                                  
The lords of war just profit from decay
                                         
And trade their children's promise for the jingle
                                         
The way we trade our hard earned time for pay

                                 
Oh my god, the water's cold and shapeless
                   
Oh my god, it's all around
                           
Oh my god, life is cold and formless
                   
Oh my god, it's all around

[Ending of song played same as the short instrumental]

At the end of the song, Fmaj7 is quickly played before finally finishing on C/G.


Thanks to Peggy Days for the help!

Good luck and let me know what you think!
