(ver. 1)
Shearwater
Chords used:
B
F#
G#m
E


Intro: B (hold)


Verse:

B
By shadowing
        G#m
all the darkened fields
   F#
of forgotten words
    G#m           F#
and civilian lives

B
through violence
            G#m
through the changing guards
            F#
through the grinding away
                G#m      F#
and the furious marching


Chorus 1:

   B             E        F#
    B
and weathering
       E        F#
a cast away life
        G#m (hold)
and the rising fear


Verse 2:

    B
The hollowness
       G#m
of the flags and gods
         F#
that are raised in the air
                     G#m   F#
in the wake of their raging

     B
Your skinny arms
       G#m
hold a lantern up
       F#
on the brightest array
                      G#m     F#
of the stars in their moorings


Chorus 2:

    B
and summoning
         E     F#
the holy light
         B
on their citadels
      E        F#
the blackening sky
    G#m                         F#
the collapsing sun, the burning wall
                    G#m     F#
that approaches our eyes


Bridge:

G#m    F#


Chorus 3:

    B
you live again
       E          F#
in the shuddering light
         B
of these images
      E     F#
this valediction
        G#m                   F#
you are running from a rising tide
            B
you are castaways



This is my first tab submitted and it took me way longer than it really should have
because it's really a very simple song, but it bugged me that nobody else had done it
because it's one of the very best songs I've ever heard and more more people should be 
able to play it! Sorry if any of the timings or chords are off, but I'm pretty sure 
they're right.
