Villagers – The Waves (acoustic)




Am-Asus4 = alternate between Am and Asus4



              Am-Asus4      F
There are waves up in the diamond sky
                    G
Stronger than you and I
          Am-Asus4                     F
I'm a wave, I break through the barrier reef
                 G                           G/F
Cut through the carbon sea, approaching the shore
Am-Asus4                                                    F
Look at the sky, look at the trees, man, it's all the same to me
                                                                      G
Look at the cars, look at the birds and all of these invented words

One body's dying breath is another's birth
G/F
What are you running from? What are you running from?
Am-Asus4                                                              F
Sister jewelry, brother judging, you are recognized this grudge

Buried deep beneath the sands of these ridiculous demands
G
No time for innocence, or sitting on the fence
G/F
What are you gonna do? What are you gonna…

             F                 C/B
When the waves cover the coastal plains
                     A#
The tents and the cars and the trains
         F                              F
And the trace of honey bees sanitaries
                                C/B        
Of well insulated dignitaries
                        A#
All screaming of the memory of the human love
       F
For anything, or anyone

Am-Asus4                                                            F
Look at the birds, look at the bees, madam, it's all the same to me
                                                                           G
Look at the girls, look at the gold gathered, beat and bought and sold


One man's innocence is another's chance
G/F
What were you thinking of? What were you thinking of?
Am-Asus4                            F
Now please let me boil it down to this, my son
G
This party's getting wet, but it ain't over yet
G/F
So what is it gonna be? What is it gonna be? What is it gonna be?
        
       F                        C/B
Just let the waves cover the coastal plains
                 A#
The fear and guilt and the pain
          F
And the trace of honey bee jealousy
F                         C/B
Of well insulated bigotry
                  A#
And if you don't agree
                                F
You better get back inside your cave
                                  Am
'cause we're all dancing with the waves

            F
Up in the diamond sky
                    G
Stronger than you and I
          G/F
I'm a wave
                       Am
I break through the barrier reef
                  F
Cut through the carbon sea


Approaching the shore [18x]:  G  G/F  Am  F (repeat)

Last chord: D/C
