As I Rise tab by The Decemberists

Guitar Tab

Intro:


e|------3-|-------5---3----|-----5----------|-3-------3------|-7----3--5---3--|-5------|
B|--3h5---|-------3------5-|-3---3------3h5-|----3-5-----3-5-|----------------|--------|
G|--------|--0-------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------|
D|--------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------|

E|--------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------|



OR this - less jumping around on the high e string

e|------3-|-------5---3----|-----5----------|-3-------3------|-7-------5------|-5------|
B|--3h5---|-------3------5-|-3---3------3h5-|----3-5-----3-5-|------8------8--|--------|
G|--------|--0-------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------|
D|--------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------|
A|--------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------|
E|--------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------|


OR this - I think I'm hearing the open G string sound on some of the downstrokes - real
subtle like. This is a little harder to play than the easier versions above.

Verse 1:

       G
I have come a few miles.

I got blisters on my slippered feet
     D          C
As I rise, as I ri-ise.


Verse 2:

    G
California's ok.

But I think I might stay in the shade
        D          C
For a while, for a whi-ile.

G G D C


Verse 3:

    G
Ladybird, ladybird

You're the prettiest song I heard
     D           C
In a while, in a whi-ile.


Outro:

       G
La da dah dah dah,

la di dah dah dah la la
D              C
la la laaaaa, la dah dah-ah
