Tuning: half step down - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb

Short, straightforward song off of the last EP in The Bastard series. Picking pattern is constant throughout
the song and can be played with three or four fingers. I use three, i.e. my pointer and middle finger for
strings G and B, and my thumb for the notes on E, A, and D. The exact notes in the chorus are a little hard
to hear due to the other instrumentation, but I tried my best to make it sound okay. Instead, you could also
strum the chords to give the chorus a fuller sound.

I've included the lyrics with chords at the bottom for an easier play-through.

Csus4                     C      Csus4             C           G
      Back when I used to wander, I was always out looking for signs
Csus4                     C                               G     Gsus4  G5
      But they were never there, so I'd pull 'em from the air
Csus4                    C        Csus4            riff
      We all believed in something, but like you I can't say why
Csus4                            C                        Gsus4   G
      It's just a whisper in our ear, or a bottle for our fears

Am                   F            C
      Hold me to the light, let me shine
G                        Am         F          C
Come hold me against the floor, and say it's alright
G                       Am      Em             F     G      Gsus4  G5
Come hold me 'neath the water's skin, till I'm new again

Csus4                     C       Csus4                      C              G
        I said what I was thinking, now you can't see what's good till it's gone
Csus4                                C                             G     Gsus4  G5
        Then there's something to be said, for a place to lay your head
Csus4                     C     Csus4                   riff
        You told me I was simple, and you envied me that piece of mind
Csus4                         C                               Gsus4   G
        And I listened to the creek, and it did much more for me

Am                         F            C
      I'll hold you to the light, let you shine
     G                    Am         F          C
I'll hold you against the floor, and say it's alright
       G                Am      Em          F       G
'cause down beneath the water's skin, where we will swim
                        Am      Em                     F
There's diamonds on the surface then, and they'll come clean us
                  G      Gsus4  G5
(We'll) both live again

Csus4                       C      Csus4                riff
        These days I barely wander, and I don't need no more of them signs
Csus4                              C                           G (strum)
        I just breathe in all that air, and be happy that it's there
