Seashell Chords

(ver. 2)
Micky & The Motorcars
Seashell from the album Naive
WRITTEN BY MICKY BRAUN AND DUSTIN WELCH
I saw the other tab on here for this and while I like it, I wanted to play in key with the song, 
so here's what I got. I think it's pretty accurate.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do, it's a great 
song.

- To play the [C] walk to [Am]: hit the 5th string 3rd fret (top note of [C]) then 5th string 2nd fret 
then hit the open 5th string with hand in [Am]
- I haven't tabbed the solo yet, but it's mostly variations of the 2nd & 3rd fret of the bottom two 
strings from what I've got so far, will try and get it here soon
- The song sounds best if you pick the chords not strum them

Capo 4 
  
-Verse 1-
[C]
WE DON'T EVER REALLY TALK
                  [G]         [F] 
AND I GUESS THAT'S ALRIGHT WITH ME
[C]
A SEASHELL SITS ON TOP [A] ROCK
                  [G]     [F]              
YOU KNOW THAT'S WHERE I HIDE MY KEY

-Chorus-
[C] walk to [Am]        [C]
             COME THE LIGHT OF DAY
[Am]               [G       [F]
I WATCH YOU TAKE YOUR THINGS AND GO
[Am]                [G]                     [C]
AND I CAN'T HARDLY SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT ANYMORE

-Verse 2-
[C]
YOU WORK HARD AND YOU GET BY
                      [G]    [F]
BUT YOU NEVER CAN QUITE GET AHEAD
[C]
BUT SOME HOW HERE IN MY ARMS
                     [G]         [F]                                             
YOU EASE YOUR MIND AND REST YOUR HEAD


[Am]      [C]       
COME THE LIGHT OF DAY
[Am]                   [G]      [F]
I WATCH YOU TAKE YOUR THINGS AND GO
[Am]                [G]                     [C]
AND I CAN'T HARDLY SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT ANYMORE


-Instrumental solo- (in lieu of the tab, these chords work pretty well)
[C] (hammering on/off pinky 1st string 3rd fret) [G] [C], [C] (hammering) [G] [F] --- play this twice
[C] walk to [Am] [C], [Am] [G] [F], [Am] [G] [C]

-Bridge-
[F]                           [C]
AS I LAY HERE WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING SOUND
               [F]                   [C]
I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF THIS IS THE LAST TIME
          [G]
YOU'LL COME AROUND


[C]
MAYBE I SHOULD KNOW BETTER
                 [G]       [F]
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER AT ALL
[C]
I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THE DOOR KNOB TURN
                    [G]        [F]
YOUR FOOTSTEPS SOFTLY DOWN THE HALL


[Am]      [C]
COME THE LIGHT OF DAY
[Am]                   [G]      [F]
I WATCH YOU TAKE YOUR THINGS AND GO
[Am]                [G]                     [C]
AND I CAN'T HARDLY SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT ANYMORE
[C] walk to [Am]                [G]                     [C]  
             NO I CAN'T HARDLY SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT ANYMORE

-Outro-
Played the same as the Instrumental above but add [C] walk to [Am] [G] [C] to the very end
