Walt Grace Submarine Test January 1967 Chords

(ver. 2)
John Mayer
A nice simple version I worked out for my uke, but it sounds nice on guitar as 
well, for some reason, the chords are not lining up over their place in the song 
lines so you'll need to figure that part out.--enjoy

Walt Grace 
Born and Raised
Capo 3


E                               B
Walt Grace, desperately hating this whole place
A                               E
Dreamed to discover a new space and buried himself alive
E
Inside his basement
                        B
Tongue on the side of his face meant
                        A
He's working away on displacement
                        E
And what it would take to survive


   A                            B
Cause when you're done with this world
  A                     B
You know the next is up to you
        E               A       B
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
        E               A       B
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried
             E           A         E      B
But with the will to work hard and a library card
                A               B               E
He took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride



E                               B
That morning the sea was mad and I mean it
                        A                       E
Waves as big as he'd seen it deep in his dreams at home
E                                       B
                        A
Closed the hatch up with one hand
                E
And pedaled off alone







A                               B
Cause when you're done with this world
A                       B
You know the next is up to you
        E              A                B
And for once in his life, it was quiet
        E       A             B
As he learned how to turn in the tide
        E          A                 E          B
And the sky was aflare when he came up for air
        A               B               E
In his homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride


        E                                       B
One evening, when weeks had passed since his leaving
                            A                     E
The call she planned on receiving finally made it home
E                               B
She accepted the news she never expected
                A               E
The operator connected the call from Tokyo



A                               B
Cause when you're done with this world
A                       B
You know the next is up to you
          E              A              B
Now his friends bring him up when they're drinking
        E          A           B
At the bar with his name on the side
            E            A          E           B
And they smile when they kid, as they speak of the man
                A               B               E
Who took a homemade, fan blade, one-man submarine ride
