The Drowners
Intro: A (5fr) | D (5fr) | C (3fr) | E
The E is picked out approximately;
e—————————-0———-
——————————-0——-
———————1——————
——2——————2—————
———2—0—————2————
E —0—————0——————-
Chorus (pick the chords):
G (3fr) | B (2fr) | C (3fr) | D (5fr)
for the last C chord bend the middle three strings up one semitone.
Note that when playing the chords don’t stick exactly to a rigid shape.
Eg for C
e—————————
—————————
—————5-p5——— etc.
———-3-h5————-
—-3-h5——————-
E —————————
This is very approximate and I can’t for the life of me
remember now how the break goes. Just remember that if you
tune down then the chords for a song like Moving are just
standard shapes with an extra note or two picked out for
interest.

Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice now that he has come?
A F#m Bm Eb
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice?
