Seven Seas

"Seven Seas"

Performed by Echo And The Bunnymen

Transcribed by Duke

Standard tuning; no capo

C
Stab a sorry heart

                    F
With your favourite finger

                      C
Paint the whole world blue

                         F
And stop your tears from stinging

                 C
Hear the cavemen singing

                  F
Good news they're bringing

G     C
Seven seas

G                C
Swimming them so well

G       C
Glad to see

   G
My face among them

C                    G
Kissing the tortoise shell

C
A longing for

             F
Some fresher feeling

          C
Belonging or

             F
Just forever kneeling

                      C
Where is the sense in stealing

                     F
Without the grace to be it

G     C
Seven seas

G                C
Swimming them so well

G       C
Glad to see

   G
My face among them

C                    G
Kissing the tortoise shell

C                      F
Burning my bridges and smashing my mirrors

C                        F
Turning to see if you're cowardly

C                        F
Burning the witches with mother religious

       C                      F
You'll strike the matches and shower me

   C
In water games

Washing the rocks below

           F
Taught and tamed

   C
In time with tear flow

G     C
Seven seas

G                C
Swimming them so well

G       C
Glad to see

   G
My face among them

C                    G
Kissing the tortoise shell

G     C
Seven seas

G                C
Swimming them so well

G       C
Glad to see

   G
My face among them

C
Kissing the tortoise

G     C
Seven seas

G                C
Swimming them so well

G       C
Glad to see

   G
My face among them

C                    G
Kissing the tortoise shell

Glad to see my face among them kissing the tortoise's tail.

Alternately, you can play a'C' though the verses with an 'F' on the 3rd line;

I play it this way to give it some variety, and to keep from getting bored while

playing it.

Hope you enjoy it!
