Chords with lyrics
John Mayer- Walt Grace's Submarine Test 1967
Love this song, One of the best on the new album!
You can figure out the picking patterns from listening,
it's fairly simple! Nice little song here!
Not a perfect tab, but I think it's pretty close!
Chords
Capo 6
FF
Walt Grace, desperately hating his whole place
A minorAm
Dreamed to discover a new space
FF
And buried himself alive
FF
Inside his basement, tongue on the side of his face meant
A minorAm
He's working away on displacement
FF
And what it would take to survive
FF
'Cause when you're done with this world
G+G
You know the next is up to you
G+G
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
G+G
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried
FF
But with a will to work hard
D MajorD
And a library car
C majorC
He took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride
FF
That morning, the sea was mad and I mean it
A minorAm
Waves as big as he'd seen it
FF
Deep in his dreams at home
C majorC
From dry land
FF
He rolled it over to wet sand
A minorAm
Closed the hatch up with one hand
FF
And pedalled off alone
FF
'Cause when you're done with this world
G+G
You know the next is up to you
G+G
And for once in his life it was quiet
G+G
As he learned how to turn in the tide
FF
And the sky was a flare
D MajorD
When he came up for air
C majorC
In his homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride
C majorC
One evening
FF
When weeks had passed since his leaving
A minorAm
The call she'd planned on receiving
FF
Finally made it home
C majorC
She accepted
FF
The news she'd never expected
A minorAm
The operator connected
FF
A augmentedA call from Tokyo
FF
'Cause when you're done with this world
G+G
You know the next is up to you
C majorC
Now his friends
G+G
Bring him up when they're drinking
G+G
At the bar with his name on the side
FF
And they smile when they can
D MajorD
As they speak of a man
C majorC
Who took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride
