Fish and Bird (Tom Waits)
Tricky song to tab as it's played on keyboards and cornets and things. Anyway, here's quite a good solo acoustic guitar version which also plays nicely over the original if you so wish. Don't know if the words are right or not. :)
No doubt a couple of obvious chords I got wrong will come to me once I've uploaded it.
Capo at fret #3
C G C Fmaj7 G
They pulled around for the sailor and they heard his tale
C F
Of a world that was so full of waves
G C F
And a song that we'd never heard
G C F G C G
A song of a little bird that fell in love with a whale
C G C
He said 'you can not live in the ocean'
Fmaj7 G C F
And she said to him 'You never can live in the sky'
G C F
But the ocean is filled with tears
G C F
And the sea turns into a mirror
G C F
There's a whale in the moon when it's clear
G C
And a bird on the tide
C Gm F Dm D G
Oh please don't cry in these dry old eyes
C G C
So tell me that you will wait for me
F G
Hold me in your arms
C F
I promise we never will part
G C F
I'll never sail back to the time
G C F
And I'll always pretend your mine
G C F
I know that we both must part
G C
You can live in my heart
C Gm F Dm D G
Oh please don't cry in these dry old eyes
C G C
And tell me that you will wait for me
F G
Hold me in your arms
C F
I promise we never will part
G C F
I'll never sail back to the time
G C F
And I'll always pretend your mine
G C F
I know that we both must part
G C
You can live in my heart
