------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE OCEAN - The Bravery ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: digitaljedwin Email: jedwin@digitaljedwin.com They play it with a capo on the first fret. This is tabbed without the capo, so it is 1/2 step lower than it sounds on the recording. I made this tab from watching this live recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cQ-ycgyTH4 It's not perfect, but it's way closer than anything else I've found for this song. Also, this is just guitar 1, the rhythm part. If I'm feeling ambitious I'll take a stab at guitar 2. Finally, I've seen videos for a "Moon Version" on youtube, this is just the acoustic version. Hope you like it, enjoy! Tuning: standard Chords: EADGBe Bm x24432 Bm? x04430 (not sure of this chord's name. BmM7/A?) G 3x0033 D/F#? 2x0230 (again, not sure of the correct name for this. Asus/F#?)

The pre-choruses are just half a measure thrown Chorus: This is just strumming |Bm|Bm|D|D|A|A|E|E|, same rhythm as the verse. I'm not going to tab it out :P Lyrics: Notice the rhythm of the words have the same triplet rhythm as the strumming for the most part. Listen to the recording for the timings, I've tried to place the chords over the correct syllables below so you can more easily get the lyrical timing. [Intro x2] [Verse x4] Bm Bm? G D/F#? I climbed up the mountain and looked off the edge Em Em G G at all of the lives that I never have led Bm Bm? G D/F#? there's one where I stayed with you accross the sea Em Em G G I wonder do you still think of me Bm Bm? G D/F#? I will carry your image always in my head Em Em G G folded and yellowed and torn at the edge Bm Bm? G D/F#? and I'll look u-pon it for so many years Em Em G G slowly I'm losing your face [Pre-chorus1] [Chorus x2] Bm Bm D D A A E E Oh the ocean rolls us a-way, a-way, Bm Bm D D A A E E a-way the ocean rolls us a-way [Verse x4] Bm Bm? G D/F#? Sixes and sevens we live on jet planes Em Em G G so many faces I don't know the names Bm Bm? G D/F# So many friends now and none of them mine Em Em G G forgotten as soon as we meet Bm Bm? G D/F# All of these moments are lost in time Em Em G G but you're caught in my head like a thorn on a vine Bm Bm? G D/F# forever torment me and I wonder why Em Em G G do I wish I'd never known you at all [Pre-chorus2] [Chorus x4] Bm Bm D D A A E E Oh the ocean rolls us a-way, a-way, Bm Bm D D A A E E a-way the ocean rolls us a-way Bm Bm D D A A E E Oh the ocean rolls us a-way, a-way, Bm Bm D D A A E E a-way the ocean rolls us a-way [Verse x2] [Verse x2] ...the Bm Bm? G D/F#? Sun and the moon an o- cean of air Em Em G G so ma-ny voi- ces and no-thing is there but the Bm Bm?
