"Transatlanticism" - Death Cab For Cutie
Standard Tuning
This is my best interpretation of the chords from listening. Hope it works for you guys as well.
From the intro until the first "Oh no", it's all piano. I just listed the chord in case you wanted to play
them. If you are to play it all, the chords in () are played on the piano alone and are optional for if you
want to play them on the guitar.
Intro:
A C#m Dsus2 F#m
A C#m Dsus2 F#m (E)
Verses:
AThe Atlantic was born tC#moday, and I'll tell you Dsus2how: F#m
A C#m Dsus2 F#m (E)
the clouds above opened up and let it out.
I was Astanding on the surface of a pC#merforated sphere
Dsus2 F#m (E)
when the water filled every hole.
and Athousands upon thousands made an oC#mcean,
making islands where Dsus2no island should go. F#m
(E)
Oh no.

AThose people were overjC#moyed; they took to theirDsus2 boats. F#m
A C#m Dsus2 F#m (E)
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The Arhythm of my footsteps crossing C#mflood lands to your door have been
Dsus2 F#m (E)
silenced forever more.
The Adistance is quite simply much too C#mfar for me to row.
It seems Dsus2farther than ever befoF#mre.
(E)
Oh no.
