Waves chords by Bahamas

Chords with lyrics

Artist: Bahamas
Album: Bahamas Is Afie (2014)
Standard tuning w. capo on 3rd fret
All chords are relative to capo

***Please read***

The FF chord Afie uses is a Fmaj7. In the tab I kept it as a regular FF so I could place the chords at the exact
timings for the chord changes.

Fmaj7Fmaj7
e|--0--|
BB|--1--|
G+G|--2--|
D MajorD|--3--|
A augmentedA|--x--|
E MajorE|--1--|

Also, for the "choir section" I tried to figure out the progression and I think it's pretty accurate.
However, if you can decipher what Em-like chord Afie ends on. I've looked at The Wild Honey
Pie's Buzzsession at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoi_xdke_Kk and it looks like a E minorEm open chord with the A augmentedA
string open. But, I don't think it sounds 100 % similar. If you know the correct chord, please throw a comment.

   DmDm                 FF
And I held the breath inside my lungs for days
   DmDm              FF
And I saw myself as one of many waves
    A#A#               G minorGm    FF   DmDm  FF
When I knew that I'd become the ocean's slave I just stayed


    DmDm                FF
And we carried forward all the water's past
    DmDm               FF
Of the waves I was not first I was not last
    A#A#               G minorGm   FF  DmDm  D7D7
If we saw a boat afloat we'd take the mast, so fast


     A#A#        FF   C majorC
Where's a part of it that I miss
    A#A#         FF  C majorC
At the heart of it your cold kiss
     A#A#      FF     C majorC
From the start of it I know this
        A#A#
Oh where's the part of it

   DmDm                 FF
And before too long the waves grew out of hand
     DmDm                 FF
And they worked to keep the sea at their command
    A#A#                  G minorGm    FF   DmDm  D7D7
And the only thing they feared it seemed the sand, the dry land


     A#A#        FF   C majorC
There's a part of it that I miss
    A#A#         FF  C majorC
At the heart of it your cold kiss

     DmDm                FF
From the water there was born a bright blue roar
   DmDm                     FF
As it rolled and formed and calmed the ocean's floor
      A#A#               G minorGm   FF  DmDm D7D7
And then it finally rose and broke upon the shore no more


     A#A#        FF   C majorC
There's a part of it that I miss
    A#A#         FF  C majorC

Oh where's the part of it

Oh where's the part of it
