Chinese Translation by M. Ward
---------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ethan Starkey
tuning: DADF#BE
This is an improvement on the previous tab.
I left the original D chord from the tab i copied this from because this is
based off a live video [although i think D2 sounds correct, at least as the
begining chord of the chorus, and is the one M. Ward plays in the video, but
its a little difficult to hear so...]

D2 G1(thumG2b andG3 indG4ex iD2nsteAad Gof GmbarAring it)
G1 is w/thumb on the lowest string and barre the rest w/index finger to more easily switch to G2,
G3, and G4 whilst leaving less room for error with overtones when you just barre the whole fret with
just your index finger (although i do it because of the additions i make w/my ring and pinky fingers
after the 2nd chorus)

*I use G5 to make it easier and add difference, choose any
G variation you like
**this part is yours to play around with in whatever variation(s) of D & G,
Its just little "noodlings" in D & G until the end
this is some insight to what he does after the first 8 bars of this part

Verse:
I sailed the D2wild, wild seas
Climbed up a Emtall, tall mountain
I met an D2old, old man he sat Abeneath a willow tree
He said now D2if you got some questions
Go and lEmay them at my feet. But my D2time here is breif
So you'll Ahave to pick just three, and i said
Chorus:
D2What do you do with the pieces of a broken G1heart G2
And G3how does a man like me remain G4in the D2light
if life is really as sD7hort as they say then wGhy
is the night so Gmlong? Then the Asun went down and he
D2 (hold on D2 here for an extra 2 bars)
sang for me this song
Pre-verse:
See I onD2ce was a young fool like yEmou
B *G5
afraid to do the things that I knew I had to do
So I Aplayed an escapade just like you
I Emplayed an escapade just like Ayou
Verse:
I sailed the D2wild, wild seas
Climbed up a Emtall, tall mountain
I met an D2old, old man he sat Abeneath the sapling tree
He said now D2if you got some questions
Go and lEmay them at my feet. But my D2time here is breif
So you'll Ahave to pick just three, and i said
Chorus:
D2What do you do with the pieces of a broken G1heart G2
And G3how does a man like me remain G4in the D2light
if life is really as sD7hort as they say then wGhy

then the SOLO SECTION, END
Thats about it. Do the intro/outro if you want, but you'll have to make up something because it sounds
like he uses at least 2 guitars for the intro on the studio version. People taking the easy route may
just want to use the harmonics on the 12th fret (its easy and people eat that shit up.)
