Ben Howard - These Waters

This isn't how Ben plays it, but it is a nice alternative if you just want to

strum along to the song without

down-tuning.
Capo 3rd Fret, Standard Tuning

[Verse 1]
C G C G
I saw red and yellow flowers outside over the moors
Em D G
And brightest sunrise ever to've touched my eyes.
C
And through it all,
Em D C
I stood and stumbled, waded through my thoughts and heart
G
Yeah through it all,
Em D C Em
I fooled and fumbled, lost to the poet's frown.
D G C
I fought the wolves of patience just to let it lie down.

[Chorus]
G D C
See these waters they'll pull you up,
G D C
Oh if you're bolder than the darkness.
G D C
My my, let these songs be an instrument to cut,
G D C D
Oh spaces 'tween the happiness and the hardness.
C G
Out the door,
Em D
The touch of morning, the burning of the frost
C
Out the door
Em D
Strong hands to hold; good friends that I never lost.

[Verse 2]
C
And what we found
Em D
Down these coves of limestone and cockle shells,
C
What we found
Em D C
Down these roads that wander as lost as the heart,
Em D C
Is a chance to breathe again, a chance for a fresh start
Em D C
My, my, a chance to breathe again, a chance for a fresh start
Em D C
Oh my, a chance to breathe again, a chance for a fresh start.

[Chorus]
