Will You Wash Away
The Trews
I think this is all right, it's based on what was previously on UG, and
the chords mentioned by casey_1047 in a comment, and some trial and error
and lots of listening. I'll put some chord diagrams at the bottom in case
you need 'em. Unless they're there automatically, (when you hover on the
blue chord names) how does that work enyway?
whatever I'll put them at the bottom anyway. Just for fun.
Enjoy!
INTRO:
VERSE:
A man can be destroyed but not defeated
Even when he's lying black and blue
Livin' on a faith above his ceiling
Never gonna know if it rings true
There's a voice inside that keeps him on the path or rightousness
You can't break his stride or change his mind 'cause he won't second guess
CHORUS:
This part is really fast so I'll show how I do it in tab:
|e-------------4--4-------------------------------|
|B-------------5--5-------------------------------|
|G-11-11-9--9--6--6-------------------------------|
|D-11-11-9--9--6--6-------------------------------|
|A-9--9--7--7--4--4-------------------------------|
|E------------------------------------------------|
I don't wanna hear you say
|e------------------------------------------------|
|B-------------4--4-------------------------------|
|G-9--9--6--6--4--4-------------------------------|
|D-9--9--6--6--4--4-------------------------------|
|A-7--7--4--4--2--2-------------------------------|
|E------------------------------------------------|
You will never change you ways
|e-------------4--4-------------------------------|
|B-------------5--5-------------------------------|
|G-11-11-9--9--6--6-------------------------------|
|D-11-11-9--9--6--6-------------------------------|
|A-9--9--7--7--4--4-------------------------------|
|E------------------------------------------------|
'Cause you know it's hard to tell
|e----------------------------------2-----------0-|
|B-------------4--4-----------------2-----------0-|
|G-9--9--6--6--4--4-----------------3-----------1-|
|D-9--9--6--6--4--4-----------------4-----------2-|
|A-7--7--4--4--2--2-----------------4-----------2-|
|E----------------------------------2-----------0-|
When the river swells, yeah
Will You Wash Away?
[^ ^ use 7th fret B and E here]
2nd VERSE: (same chords as first)
running to the end of expectation
ready for the moment to arrive
but the wicked world just keeps you waiting
baby it can bury you alive
you need something more to rest assured or else your faith will die
like an anchor to the river floor when the crushing waters rise
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
hear the restless river rise
sheer white waters causing compromise
doubting eyes, changing minds
for everyone there comes a time
will you wash away?
3rd VERSE: (same chords minus the last 2 lines)
going back on all your allegations
once saw enough you changed your tune
write your way out of the situation
you’ve got to do what you have got to do
CHORUS
*cheers*
Chords you might not know:
the wierd variations:
C#msus4
e|-4------|-2------| It can be hard to swithch from the C#m to the -sus4
B|-7------|-2------| quickly and cleanly, but with practise it comes.
G|-6------|-3------| If you don't feel like practising a C#m7sus4 will
D|-6------|-3------| do (despite the really long name) just move your
A|-4------|-3------| pinkie from the G string to the B string on 7th fret.
E|--------|-2------|
C#m7sus4
e|-4------|
B|-7------|
G|-4------|
D|-6------|
A|-4------|

The 7th fret B and E mentioned for the "will you wash away" are:
e|--7---|------|
B|--7---|--9---|
G|--8---|--9---|
