------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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) D x2 x2 D/C# e|-----------2(ring)--------2-|-------------2-----------2-||-----------2-----------2--| B|-----3--------------3-------|-----3-----------3---------||-----3-----------3--------| G|--2-----2--------------2----|--2-----2-----2-----2------||--------2-----------2-----| D|----------------------------|---------------------------||--0-----------------------| A|----------------------------|---------------------------||--------------4-----------| E|----------------------------|---------------------------||--------------------------|
