An attempt at the intro to Passenger's "Golden Thread".I quite liked
Bobatron1's chords (version 1 of the tabs) to this song, so I hope they don't
mind me posting their work for practicality; maybe people wanna play through
the whole song!
The intro is a bit of a stretch at first, but, with practice, can quickly be
learnt.
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 7

Verse 1:
G C
Theres lights on in a window
Em
And a signpost in the snow
C
Theres a golden coin beneath your pillow
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/passenger/golden_thread_tab_ver_3.html )
G C
Theres parachutes above you
Em
And lifeboats below
C
And a heart that loves you
Yeah I think you know
INTRO
G C
Theres treasure maps well hidden
Em
And diamonds in the dirt
C
Theres a golden thread weaved into your shirt
G C
Theres a kiss for every tear
Em
That rolls down your cheek
C
And words i shouldnt hear and words you shouldnt speak
G C D G
So tell me one more lie my dear
C D G
Whisper softly so nobody hears
Em D C
Keep me hanging on for another year
Oh tell me one more lie my dear
(same)
Well theres whiskey and blankets
And a bonfire when youre cold
Ill hold a golden breath till im silver and old
With only hope to keep alive
And only time to kill
Theres a fool that loved you and he loves you still
(same)
So tell me one more lie my dear
Whisper softly so nobody hears
Keep me hanging on for another year
Am
Oh tell me one more lie my dear
Am Em
Spin me one more tale sweet heart
G
Weave golden needle and thread through my heart
D
Whisper all the things you know i long to hear
C D G
Oh tell me one more lie my dear
