Chords

F# (244322)
G  (355433)
A6 (x02222)
E  (0221xx)

The timing for this song is common time but it has been messed around with so much it sounds like its in 11/8 time. Listen to the song for ages before playing because the timing is quite hard to tab out (but I’ll try with the chord positioning). If you listen beforehand for ages to the CD then it’ll come naturally.

Intro- F# G A6 G (repeat 3 times)

Verse-

F#               G     A6              G        F# 
I jumped into the river what did I see

           G      E            G     
Black eyed angels swimming with me

F#             G        A6            G        F#
A moon full of stars and astral cars

        G        E        G
All the figures I used to see

F#                 G         A6     G          F#
All my lovers were there with me

       G        E         G
All my past and futures 

    F#             G          A6          G       F#
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat

                     G        E          G               
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt


Interlude-play the intro again 4 times. I’ve also transcribed the violin fills for guitar. 

-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
--11-11s12s9s11-11s12s9s11-11--------
-------------------------------11-9---
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------

Play that twice over the interlude

The verse is exactly the same again but has that fill over it 4 times

Repeat the “there was noting to fear and to doubt” bit 3 times

Then play the intro 4 times and end on an F#
