--------------------Mike Mains and the Branches-------------
--------------------Beneath Water---------------------------

Really great song by a great band.

Standard Tuning

Verse 1 and Chorus 1 I usually play palm muted, as well as the second half of the bridge.
Notice that the chords are slightly different in the final chorus.


------------Verse 1------------

E minorEm
So scratch away the sand stuck in your ears
D MajorD
Water all the crops with showers of tears
E minorEm
Tell all those baby's mothers they don't need no fear
D MajorD
'Cause God's got their hearts in his hands
E minorEm
And we'll ask all of the painters if they dressed in white
D MajorD
To walk around the streets, in the dead of the night
E minorEm
Dance like guests at a wedding underneath the lights
D MajorD
Look at the buildings and say "I touched that"

----------Pre-Chorus----------

C majorC             D MajorD  B minorBm
Oh we always wanna brag...
C majorC             D MajorD  B minorBm
Oh we always wanna brag...


------------Chorus------------

E minorEm
So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the
D MajorD
Old me, dies and slips out of this
E minorEm
Body, Rip him out of my body
C majorC  D MajorD
And make me new again

------------Verse 2------------

E minorEm
Well maybe I'm the writer that will spark that flame
D MajorD
That makes the world believe in the right kind of faith
E minorEm
But perhaps, I need to get these feet off stage
D MajorD
And find a smaller pair of shoes to fill
E minorEm
What I know is that my father's only son said
D MajorD
"There'll be time for sleep when the work is done"
E minorEm
Keep your pedal to the floor until the race is won
D MajorD
What if the race is not a race at all
C majorC            D MajorD  B minorBm
Don't you crash into a tree?
C majorC            D MajorD  B minorBm
Don't you crash into a tree...


------------Chorus------------  x 2

E minorEm
So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the
D MajorD
Old me, dies and slips out of this
B minorBm
Body, Rip him out of my body
C majorC  D MajorD
And make me new again


------------Bridge------------

E minorEm
He spoke his words to me like well driven nails
D MajorD
They sank like wind to rain to my rusty sails
B minorBm
The sailor's hands took flight and hung in the sky
C majorC             D MajorD
Below a celebration that land's in sight
E minorEm
My heart puffs with pride, as I'm defined
D MajorD
In the center of the room filled with all your eyes
B minorBm
Leading me to believe that I'm so fresh and revised
C majorC                  D MajorD
But God I'm nothing if I don't have you...

E minorEm
I'm nothing (I AM)
D MajorD
I'm nothing (I'M NOT A augmentedA THING)
B minorBm      C majorC     D MajorD
I'm nothing (I AM!)
E minorEm
I met my brother in a hallway
D MajorD
Said he loved Jesus and I said "I think I do too"
B minorBm
I met my brother in a hallway
C majorC           D MajorD
I met my brother in a hallway


------------Chorus------------  x 2

G+G
And said hold me, underneath the water 'till the
D MajorD
Old me, dies and slips out of this
E minorEm
Body, Rip him out of my body
C majorC   D MajorD
And make me new again



Enjoy! :)
