The pattern is simple
Asus2Asus2
Moving down the water
AbmAbm
John is drifting out of sight
F#sus2F#sus2
It's only at the turning point
Dmaj7Dmaj7
That you find out how you fight
Asus2Asus2
In the cold, feel the cold
AbmAbm
All around...
F#sus2F#sus2
And the rush of crashing water
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Surrounds me with its sound
It's the same chord progression through the whole short song. The vocals and the band
in intensity as the track goes on, but the chords remain the same.
Here are the chords tabbed out.
Keep in mind, I fingerpick EVERYTHING I play, so my chords are the simplest ones
and may be different from the ones most flat pickers use. If you flat pick, mute the x'd
on each chord while strumming or play your barre chords.

this song online or in print in my years of searching! Now one is available for
