Seashell from the album Naive
WRITTEN BY MICKY BRAUN AND DUSTIN WELCH
tab by Mike Hames
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
