Capo: 3

Song: What The Water Gave Me Artist: Florence + The Machine Album: Ceremonials Tabbed by: Patrick Gamache Tuning: Drop D Capo 3 Okay, so I did the bass tab for this song a while ago, and I was trying to figure out a version for the guitar, and I really didn’t think the other tabs did a very good job of making decent chords. So, I have a version here that you can play in Drop D, or standard if you’re okay with fudging around some of the chords a little bit, especially that Dm chord. It doesn’t sound right in standard. Chords: Am |x02210| C |x32010| F |3332xx| or |x33210| (I use the first one on the verses and the second one on the refrains) Em |222000| Dm |000231| G |5x0003| or |550003| F5 |333xxx| D5 |000xxx| G5 |555xxx| INTRO Am C F Em VERSE

^AmTime it ^Ctook us ^F ^Em To ^Amwhere the ^Cwater was ^FThat’s what th^Eme wate^Amr gave me And ^Ctime goes ^Fquicker ^Em Be^Amtween the ^Ctwo of us But ^Foh, my love, ^Emdon’t f^Amorsake me ^CTake what the water ^Dmgave me

BRIDGE

‘Cause they took you^Gr loved ones But returned them in ^Dmexchange for you But would you have it any ^F5other way? ^G5 Would you ^D5have it any ^F5other way? You couldn't ^G5have it any ^D5other way

(On the D5, G5, and F5 chords, you should palm mute and play eight notes)

^Am ‘Cause she’^Cs a cr^Fuel mistre^Emss And a ^Ambargain ^Cmust be made But ^Foh, my love, ^Emdon’t f^Amorget me When ^CI let the water ^Ftake ^Emme ^Dm
