Sink tab by Iwan Rheon

Tabs

Hey everyone. I've been upset with the lack of Iwan on this website for too long and so I'm taking it upon
myself to tab/"chordify" all his songs that I've worked out myself. So, here's Sink:

I've put the lyrics/chords below the tabs for those wanting to keep it simple.

U/D indicates an up or down strum respectively. T indicates a pluck with the thumb.

Verses:

e|--------|--------|--------|--------|
BB|--11--11|--11--11|--11--11|--11--11|
G+G|--00--00|--00--00|--22--22|--00--00|
D MajorD|----2---|-----0--|----2---|----0---|
A augmentedA|3-------|2-------|0-------|2-------|
E MajorE|--------|--------|--------|--------|
 T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU

i.e. strings 4 and 5 are plucked with the thumb while the high strings are brushed with the index finger

Chorus:

e|--------|--------|--22--22|--22--22|--------|--------|--3--333|--444444|
BB|--11--11|--11--11|--33--33|--33--33|--11--11|--11--11|--0--000|--000000|
G+G|--22--22|--22--22|----2---|----2---|--00--00|--00--00|--0--000|--000000|
D MajorD|----2---|----2---|0-------|0-------|----2---|----2---|--0--000|--000000|
A augmentedA|0-------|0-------|--------|--------|3-------|3-------|--------|--------|
E MajorE|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|3-------|4-------|
 T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU T D MajorD UDU T DUDUDU

The strumming in the last two bars isn't strict, but follows this basic pattern.

C majorC       C/BC/B         A minorAm    C/BC/B
You were, you were, you were on my side
C majorC         C/BC/B          A minorAm   C/BC/B
In the war, in the war, in the war in your mind
C majorC          C/BC/B         A minorAm   C/BC/B
And you try, and you try, and you try to be free

And I try, and I try, and I try to believe
C majorC        C/BC/B          A minorAm    C/BC/B
How I wonder, I wonder and crave what you see
C majorC            C/BC/B              A minorAm   C/BC/B
That's something, that's something, that's something to be.
