Ships In The Night tab by Flannery Mick

Tabs

This is a lovely new song from the Cork man Mick Flannery on his latest album.

This whole song is finger-picked so i'll tab out the patterns as it changes quiet a bit
for each different
part of the song, i'll put the corresponding chords under each tab and with the lyrics
too so you will know
where to play which part of the tab during the song.

The Intro is the same as the Verse and during this part he does a slide, he slides up
and then down, I will use / to indicate him sliding up and  do indicate when he slides
back down.

The next part I will tab is the part he plays when he sings 'The day hasn't come yet'
and he plays
it again for the link before the last chorus of the song. He plays this part three times
and for
the link before the last chorus he plays it four times

Pre-Chorus/Link:

Intro

Verse

Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramE MajorE
I am a sailor, I am a sailor,
Chord diagramE MajorE
An' I've been on my hunt for treasure,

When I find it, when I find it,
Chord diagramE MajorE
I will leave all else behind it.

The day hasn't come.


Chorus

Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramD MajorD
They say the way your life is made,
               Chord diagramG+G
Is only stars aligning,
              Chord diagramD MajorD
On you go the seas'd roll,
               Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramF#F#
Lonely souls a-pining.
    Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramD MajorD                 Chord diagramG+G        Chord diagramF#F#       Chord diagramE minorEm
The great unknown you live and hope the one that fits you right,
Chord diagramA minorAm             Chord diagramD MajorD
Won't pass you by.


Verse

I wanna see you, I wanna see you,
Though I have no idea what i'll do.
I wanna feel it, I wanna feel it,
I wanna feel that very moment.

Pre-Chorus

But the day hasn't come yet,
The day hasn't come yet,
The day hasn't come.

Chorus

They say the way your life is made,
Is only stars aligning,
On you go the seas'd roll,
Lonely souls a-pining.
Will we be those who meet and know a love on it's sight,
Or two ships in the night?

Chorus

Is only stars aligning,
On you go the seas'd roll,
Lonely souls a-pining.
Will we be those who meet and know a love on it's sight,
Or two ships in the night?

Finish on Chord diagramG+G


That's it now, lovely song so have fun playing it!

You can find the official video for this song at this link on YouTube: http://youtu.be/L0eyhIGFFfU

I think this tab is about 95% accurate so if you have any suggestions or comments be
sure to leave
one and please rate it as well.

I would like to dedicate this tab to my wonderful girlfriend Mikayla who I would be lost without
and that I love very much! She's my Ship in the Night ;-)
