The Tide that Left and Never Came Back - The Veils
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by Slitterphiliac
This is based on insight gained from watching solo/acoustic sets by Finn on youtube.
He plays it in D MajorD with no capo, though the original recording was in E. I've transcribed
the descending bassline in the intro/chorus, if you have a bassist handy get them to do it!
I haven't transcribed the second guitar part in the late verse/chorus/break.
Tuning: Standard, Capo 2 (all chords relative to capo)
Intro: (This part onwards is in the chorus too)

Verse:
G+G A augmentedA F# minorF#m G+G x4
I´m sick from this city, it burns in my side
The ships that are leaving shine so bright in the night time
Though the memory's fade it's you that I find
If only you could stay and not leave me behind
Chorus:
D MajorD D/C# D/B Dsus2/A G+G A augmentedA (Same as the second half of the intro) x5
The tide that left and never came back is on my mind tonight
Cause it´s a small town and it misses you my love
The tide that left and never came back is on my mind tonight
Cause it´s a small town and it misses you my love
Verse:
Don´t fall into all those sad stories you write
Your voice is so pretty when it gets caught in the right rhyme
And though the memories fade it´s still you that I find
If only you could stay and not leave me behind
Chorus:
The tide that left and never came back is on my mind tonight
Cause it's a small town it misses you my love
Break: B minorBm A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA (x 4)
Chorus:
The tide that left and never came back is on my mind tonight
Cause it's a small town it misses you my love
The tide that left and never came back is on my mind tonight
Cause it's a small town it misses you my love
It's a small town and it misses you my love
It's a small dead, broken town and it misses you my love
