Standard tuning w. capo on 3rd fret

***Please read***

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

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
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 Em open chord with the A
string open. But, I don't think it sounds 100 % similar. If you know the correct chord, please throw a comment.

Dm   F
Dm   F

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


       Dm                                F
And we carried forward all the water's past
       Dm                             F
Of the waves I was not first I was not last
       A#                              Gm     F   Dm   D7
If we saw a boat afloat we'd take the mast, so fast


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


(Chords over the solo)
Dm F
Dm F
A# Gm F Dm F


      Dm                                  F
And before too long the waves grew out of hand
         Dm                                 F
And they worked to keep the sea at their command
        A#                                    Gm       F     Dm   D7
And the only thing they feared it seemed the sand, the dry land



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


(Chords over choir section)
Dm   F   A#   Gm   F   Em
Dm   F   A#   Gm   F   Em
Dm   F
Dm   F


         Dm                               F
From the water there was born a bright blue roar
      Dm                                         F
As it rolled and formed and calmed the ocean's floor
            A#                              Gm     F   Dm  D7
And then it finally rose and broke upon the shore no more


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


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


               A#
Oh where's the part of it

Dm   F
