Sink Tab by Iwan Rheon

Sink tab by Iwan Rheon

Guitar Tab

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|--------|--------|--------|--------|
B|--11--11|--11--11|--11--11|--11--11|
G|--00--00|--00--00|--22--22|--00--00|
D|----2---|-----0--|----2---|----0---|
A|3-------|2-------|0-------|2-------|
E|--------|--------|--------|--------|
  T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
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|
B|--11--11|--11--11|--33--33|--33--33|--11--11|--11--11|--0--000|--000000|

  T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU T DUT DU T D UDU  T DUDUDU

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

C  C/B  Am  C/B  x2

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

Well it's fading, it's fading, it's fading for me
C                  C/B                          Am      C/B
But I guess, but I guess that's the price to be free

You want it all, oh, to fall around you

Now you're looking, you're looking, you're looking at me
C                C/B               Am       C/B
And I try, and I try, and I try to believe
C               C/B                   Am       C/B
How I wonder, I wonder and crave what you see
C                        C/B                            Am      C/B
That's something, that's something, that's something to be.

You want it all, oh, to fall around you

You want it all to fall around you

Oh, you try not to sink, you try not to sink with me
        F          G7              G#             A#       C
